Flower fairy!

So I was hoking about some boxes in my craft room

for a certain Hunkydory card kit and came across

some of these gorgeous wee fairy decoupage sheets.

They are from Reddy Creative Cards.

I must have them for absolute years!!

So I decided to make an art journal page using one of them.

There is a challenge for art journals and their

theme is trees so that is where I started.

I added scraps of paper to my page all

around the outer edge. 

I then covered it in a coat of gesso.

I then added some pink gelato and acrylic

paint to get some colour.

The trees were made using a stencil (SU)

of tree trunks in brown ink in the centre.

I then sponged some light green and dark green

acrylic paints to create the tree top.

I then stamped some leaves over the top of that

using a stamp set called Life is Beautiful (SU).

Next I used some fun flock to create a mossy bottom

and added some punched flowers and 

pearlized enamel effects for the centres.

Next I popped out the little angel

and stuck her in place.

I highlighted some areas with my black pen.

I added the wording which I got from

Willowing Arts.

At this stage I should have left it but NOOOOO!

I decided to cover the corner in yellow paper

to look like a sunshine.

I stamped the sentiment from the

Life is Beautiful stamp set (SU)

and finally finished by splattering some gold ink

and adding some

white acrylic paint around the edges.

Then when dry I added some faux stitching.

It was very therapeutic and fun but my

desk was a complete and utter mess lol.
