Fairy Dandelions


Hi everyone,

Just a quick and simple card from me today as I continue with my batch of one layer notelets.


My most recent order from Lavinia included the gorgeous Fairy Dandelions, as dandelion clocks are one of my favourite images.  I created a simple blended ink background by masking my card, then did some soft stencilling on top. I stamped my flowers and sentiment, and highlighted the fluffy flower tips with Sakura stardust pen ... as usual the camera doesn't pick that up very well, so here is an angled picture.


Stamps: Lavinia Fairy Dandelions, Mini Seed head; sentiment - unknown;
Media: Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks (Shaded Lilac, Villainous Potion); Sakura gelly roll Stardust pen;
Tools: Art Deco stencil from The Range

As with all my batch notelets I also stamped the envelope to match.

This is absolutely beautiful Pauline. I love a one layer card and they definitely require a lot of thought and planning. Yours is perfect with that gorgeous stenciled ink blend and all the movement you've created with the placement of your flying dandelion seeds. Vicky x

Terrific colour blending on that panel of colour which really makes the dandelion clocks pop. I love them as an image as well, not sure about them in the garden but hay this is a great card. Thank you for sharing with us at We Love Stamping and good luck xx
