This blog hop had me thinking pretty hard! Even though I set the theme, I struggled with what to create for it. I’ve had so many fantasy card ideas over the years, but not necessarily for any current product. I’d made the banner from a stock image and finally landed on an idea… inspired by the banner! Take a look, how did I do?
One of the elements of fantasy that were ‘iconic’ to me (get the pun? Not yet? You will by the end of the post…) was lots of detail, so I started loading this card up with little details! I started just by layering pieces, using the dies and some elements to get an idea of the final layout…
I cut out the mushrooms from cardstock layered onto multipurpose foam sheets…
Then I sponged them with some white craft ink diluted in alcohol to create some dimension and texture…
For the sentiment I wanted just a part of this stamp from the Love & Happiness set. I masked off the part I didn’t want with washi tape (you can also use pieces of a sticky note), then inked up my stamp, removed the mask, and then stamp onto your cardstock!
Here’s a few detail shots of the card with all it’s embellishments and glory!
Now hop on along to see what everyone else has made for this theme!
