Delicate chevrons, ornate floral swirls, along with dainty polka dots and eyelet lace like designs are just a few of the graceful finishes showcased among this decorative paper collection and have been incorporated into heartwarming full page cottage and garden scenes ideal for scrapbook layouts, as well as various sized premade card front panels ideal for quick and easy card bases! The perfect collection to add a touch of sunshine, and bring smiles to the faces of friends and loved ones during those long winter days!
This is such an adorable collection for little girls! Just love the little house with all the elements to create the perfect cottage scene! For my creation this week, I decided to make a wall hanging with a cute fairy cottage scene.
The base of the wall hanging is a page from a chipboard album I bought at Michaels that I covered with the Wildwood Cottage Paper Collection. The cottage is cut from white with the Wildwood Cottage Die and embossed with Ditsy Dots Embossing Folder The roof is cut with gray cardstock using the same die set. All the other elements are stamped with black ink, colored with pencils and mineral spirits and die cut with the matching dies. Everything here has a matching die which makes putting these little scene together so much easier!
Here is a little close-up of the fairies.
To add some sparkle, I used Clear Wink of Stella on the fairy's wings and then dusted with Shell White Glitter. I also used Clear Wink of Stella on the flower petals.
Be sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations' Blog to see all the gorgeous creations by the designers this week! So much talent there!
I'm submitting this to the following challenges:
Word Art Wednesday #264-265 - Anything Goes

Blessings!
