Who remembers Flower Fairies? The poems and drawings by Cecily Mary Barker originally published in 1923 and are still being published to this day. During the 1980's Hornby, famous for its train sets, made Flower Fairy dolls, which I received and still have (see the end of this post!).
Whilst I was having a clear out of my stash with a view to Vinted, I rediscovered some of my Stamping Bella Garden Girls and decided it was time to put them to use again to make three cards to send out to some friends who have been hugely supportive of me recently. Forever kinds of friends.
I have inked up the Lily of the Valley girl several times and she was the starting point for my design. I coloured her in very lightly with Stampin' Blends - Cloud Cover, Granny Apple Green and some of the creams and browns.
Of course I was going to use her with the Valley In Bloom papers - they were meant to be together!
Supplies:- Granny Apple Green card - 14.8 x 21cm scored and folded at 10.5cm
- White card 14.8 x 10.5 cm
- Frame Die - mine is an old WPlus9 set
- Small frame die for sentiment - mine is of unknown origin!
- Valley in Bloom Papers
- Lily of the Valley Stamp Set
- Versafine Onyx Black
- Stampin' Dimensionals
- Tombow Multipurpose Glue
- Stampin' Blends in Granny Apple Green, Cloud Cover, SU100, SU600, Peach Pie
- Stamp your image onto alcohol pen friendly cardstock and colour as you wish then fussy cut.
- Die cut your frame from white card and cut a piece of Lily of the Valley paper to fit behind it. Mine was 12 x 9cm.
- Glue your paper to the back of the frame and then the frame to the front of your folded card base.
- Pop your image onto the card using foam pads
- Stamp your sentiment onto some card and die cut with a small frame and pop it onto your card with foam pads.
