This is my entry for the letter 'H' in the Alpa Challenge over at the fab Craft Barn. I adore this Fairy House from Lavinia Stamps and the Fairies from Sheena Douglass go perfectly with it. The background is inked with a selection of Distress Inks, sprinkled with droplets of water, dabbed with kitchen roll and then sprayed with Abominable Snowman Glimmer Mist. I randomly stamped with Creative Expressions Chicken Wire stamp with Peacock Feathers Distress Ink. The house and fairies are stamped in black Versafine and embossed with clear powder. The Lavinia leaves are stamped with grey Momento because I just wanted them very subtle. The flowers are punched from card that is coloured with Distress Inks and Cosmic Shimmer paints. I wanted them to blend in with the background too. 'House' is cut using Cuttlebug dies. Please pop over to the Craft Barn and see the other entries and the Design Team projects. I am very excited tonight because I am off to the Make It show in Farnborough tomorrow with my friends Marleine and Claire. Marleine's husband is driving us which is really nice. I am sure I will come home with a nice bag of crafty goodies to add to my stash! Have a good evening, thank you for popping over and take care xx
