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
Really Reasonable Ribbon #155 - Anything Goes with Ribbon/Trim

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit! I hope I leave you with a little inspiration!

Blessings!

Lightly ink edges with Victorian Velvet Ink.
