Teapot Cottage πŸ«–


Hi everyone, I’ve not had a lot of time for crafting recently, so I’ve been working my way patiently through the new release Lavinia stamps I bought when I visited the Dreamatorium a month ago. Here’s a card which uses the remaining stamp sets I hadn’t yet opened - namely Teapot Cottage, the poppy seed heads and teeny sunflowers.

I cut a square of white stamping card, stamped the teapot then masked it and stamped the fairy path. I then masked that and created my landscape by blending Elements inks using hill and circle masks. I stamped some flowers and foliage emerging from the teapot, the little background houses and the fairies holding the teapot lid aloft (quite tricky masking there!). I removed the masks and coloured the teapot and path with Zig pens, and added some mushrooms and poppy seed heads to fill the scene. I stamped two small sunflowers onto separate card, coloured, fussy cut and attached, then added some sparkle to the windows and fairy wings, and a sticker sentiment to finish. 

I was using a brand new VFC Nocturne inkpad, and with hindsight my stamping of the teapot looks a bit heavy but hey, it’s done now!

Such a creative way to use some of the "dancing fairies" holding the lid of the teapot. Love how this scene turned out! I need to add that fairy path stamp to my collection! Maybe a tea pot too!!

It's a gorgeous little fairy scene Pauline and very clever masking with the teapot lid.
