Off the Edge - Less Is More

The Less Is More weekly challenges are going from strength to strength, there is such a nice friendly community amongst the participants. I am so grateful for every visit to my blog, for every comment made. I do try to visit many of the participants myself. This week Chrissie and Mandi want us to Go Off The Edge - of our card. I started with a plain white 5" x 5" card, I lightly brushed a section at the top of the card with Milled Lavender and Weathered Wood to give some colour behind the branches. There appears a pink hue at the bottom of the card, but it is a reflection from the pink material. I added a little glitter to the fairy wings, for all fairies have to sparkle. Stamps used ...................
Branches and Fairies from Lavinia Stamps
Leaf Stamp and brushes used from Inkylicious.
Sentiment sa,p from Mary Hughes.
P.S. Thrilled to add this card was chosen to be ShowCASed at Less Is More.

    Cazro, this is just fab!
    The gentle shading behind the images is really subtle and the whole effect is ...just magical!
    Those fairies look really at home in their surroundings!
    Thanks for another great submission!

    I love this card - really nice affect with the colouring behind. I bought a load of lavinia stamps at the NEC a couple of years ago but haven't been good enough with my brayer to use them yet.

    Great fairy card! Those flowers are gorgeous and I absolutely love those Lavinia fairies. They belong to my favourites in my collections, if only I'd have more time to play with them!

    I love the idea of shading first behind the stamped branches, gives it that bit of lift to the image x

    STUNNING card Cazro absolutely stunning. Very magical and ethereal which means Lavinia stamps, her style is so distinctive. Am a huge fan but sadly don't have any of her stamps as yet, must rectify that very soon...
    Stunning:-)
