Forest Fairy Acantha CrimsonCompleted by Helen Jennings

I printed onto super smooth card and cut out the elements. I built up the decoupage layers with foam pads. I prepared a card blank by stamping an ivy pattern around the edge using gold ink.

I wrapped a length of dark red ribbon around the centre of a gold linen effect mat and tied a bow before attaching this to the card blank on a slight angle.

Before attaching the topper I stamped the ivy pattern on the top and bottom left of the image and embossed with gold embossing powder.

I also added gold glitter to the fairy wings and her ring, bracelet, hair and neckline.

I attached the topper onto the gold mat with ds tape and finished by attaching the greetings panel adjacent to the bow.
