Fairy House BackgroundCompleted by Gwyneth George

I printed out this fairy house onto 300gms Super Smooth white cardstock at a size that was suitable for my finished card and then printed the fairy cup470495_1749 out onto the same cardstock at a small size to fit.

Both the images were coloured in using my ProMarkers and then I cut the fairy out using scissors directly around the outline.

I added a bit of Wink of Stalla to the fairy's wings, though the glittery shimmer isn't showing up very well in the photo.

I used a Spelbinders die to cut out the background image, and another die to cut a mat to go behind it out of a green, linen textured, cardstock.

I took a thin strip of acetate and scored it in two places and folded it. One end was stuck behind the background image at the top using ultra tacky tape and the other side was stuck behind the fairy.

I took an A5, foiled, base card from my crafting stash, attached the green mat to the front of this using finger-lift tape, and attached the topper to this using 2mm deep, double sided, foam tape.

I've not put on a greeting yet as I don't know what language it will be needed in. With the fairy placed on acetate it "floats" above the image and moves a bit when the card is moved or the fairy is touched.
