First I ran the designer paper through the Cuttlebug using the "Stylized Flowers" embossing folder. Then I sponged it with some dark brown ink to pop it out.
I punched out a black oval and punched 3-1/16" holes in it for the mini-brads. I also punched out 3 squares (1/4") and punched holes in those, too. I assembled the whole lot and adhered it with Dimensionals.
For the word stamp, toadstools and fairy I stamped in a golden brown ink and then marked up the stamps with a black marker. Then I huffed warm air onto them and stamped. That gave a nice multi-colored effect. I used Mini Pop Dots to pop out the fairy. I made an extra pair of wings so the fairy would look more dimensional. I sponged black and moss green inks over the toadstools and fairy. I used Dimensionals to pop out the Dream/fairy scene.

Hello Heidy! Thank you for visiting my blog. I bought those stamps from CTMH (Close To My Heart). The set is called "Toadstools". Just now doing a search on eBay I found this one. Hasn't been up very long. Good luck! I hope you can get it!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhh! I arrived too late.... But you are adorable ! I will look on ebay regulary ...
ReplyDeleteThank you again. Do you know in which shop one can buy them? They are rare, no?
Have a nice week.
Heidy
Heidy, unfortunately, I don't think you'll find them in a shop. More likely on eBay or a place where stampers sell their used stamps. They are discontinued, so the company (CTMH) no longer makes them. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteYes, I asked to the company who answered me that it has been made in january 2007... Sooooo, I search on e bay!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kindness!
