This was a very difficult card to make. Not so much in the technical aspect but in the emotional one. It is very hard to glue on embellishments through tears. I had to press on.
Anyway. How it was done.
I made the background on Yupo with Tim Holtz Ranger alcohol ink. I followed the advice of fellow fairy stampers and made a copy by scanning it into my computer and printing it out! WOW! I did take it a step further and took it into Photoshop where I added the orbs at the top because it was white. I added a layer underneath it in Photoshop then removed the white at the top. I filled in the layer beneath with some pink then chose a pink from the main image for the foreground color and a darker pink for the background and applied the Render Clouds filter. I guess I never told you that I used to write for a magazine based out of the UK teaching digital photo techniques. I wrote technical tutorials step-by-step how to create effects in Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro. I digress.
Using my Misti stamping platform, I first stamped the Tree of Wisdom on the left with Versafine Clair Nocturn ink then heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. Next, I stamped and embossed the vines in the same way. Next came Rufus, my spirit animal, also stamped and embossed followed by part of The Moon Tree and a tiny fairy. All these stamps are from The Fairy Stamper website.
I carefully outlined the silhouettes with a .5 Gelly Roll pen, then I sprayed the whole thing with Technique Junkies Shimmering Bliss in iridescent. I blended both Aged Mahogany and Black Soot Distress Ink along the edges then I mounted it on Tim Holtz Metallic Paper and then mounted that onto some black cardstock with Gina K Connect glue and some fun foam.
The sentiment is from LDRS Creative. It's a cool sentiment stamp set that has a coordinating die to cut out multiple sentiments at once. This set I stamped on black cardstock then white heat embossed with WOW superfine embossing powder.
