 next challenge at Cardz 4 Galz.

Fairytale or Fantasy

The Design Team have had great fun with this, please pop over

to see their inspirational cards.

I love playing with my Distress Inks, I blended some of the 

new bright colours for my background,

Abandonded Coral, Twisted Citron and Mermaid Lagoon.

I am still needing to get a few more before my collection is complete. 

I then splattered on water and patted it off, to create the bleached areas.

Stamps used are from Chloe Stamps the Dandelion.

The foilage and toadstools are frm Lavinia stamps.

The Fairies are by Sheena Douglass,  - Hidden Fairies.

The sentiment from Lily of the Valley stamps.
