Enchanted Cards

Following on from my Fairy Folk layout class at SENZ, I have been captured by the whimsical genre of enchanted little people!  So during the week I put together some cards that I intend to save for my daughters birthday and her 2 BFF's birthdays later this year!  And I have to say that my new WRMK envelope making board has come in very handy!

First, here is a totally OTT card (this one's for Meg!)

Florists wire attached to a painted chipboard archway, punctuated with flowers, stems, pearlescent stamens, silver birds nest complete with tiny pearl eggs and some little toadstools on the corner. G45 Once Upon a Springtime provided the little fairy and bluebird images which are ever so lightly brushed with a Tattered Angels aqua glitter glaze.  I made the white resin bird at the top of the arch from a cake decorating mold! The centre of the arch is cut away and replaced with soft baby muslin.

Here's a closer look...

Next up are a couple of cards I made using some tiny paper tole fairy images by the famous Cicely Mary Barker.  I picked these up at SENZ,  knowing instantly that they would make gorgeous additions to my stash!

My 'yellow' card...

Finally, my 'pink' card...

Paper tole huh?!!!  Who'd have thought...

Hope you have enjoyed the images  - leave me a comment and tell me if you dabble in paper tole from time to time.

Happy crafting!
