Now about my card - the background was created using Brusho's and a bucket load of water. A large 'word background' stamp was also used (stamp with distress inks and spritz with water before stamping). I got carried away with the water on the stamp so it was very blurry -I don't let things like this bother me, I just turn the panel upside down so the script actually looks like you are not supposed to read it.
After the panel was nice and dry, I stenciled on some white paint using a chicken wire die-cut scrap that I used as a temporary stencil. I then used a brush to add some white paint to the flowers and also used the end of the brush to dot on some spots.
I rubbed a hint of gold 3D viva paint around the edges then finished by doodling a border with a fine micron pen.
The house is a digi image printed on normal photocopy paper, coloured with Prismacolour pencils and touched up with Spectrum Noir markers and Copics, then fussy cut. Thanks to the magic of MISTI, I stamped a little fairies about 10 times each .
Thank you for looking and I hope you can join in the Fan Club fun.

I love your magical world and the great instructions on how to achieve that beautiful background. At our stamp group meeting on Saturday I was sitting next to someone who had a incredible collection of Lavinia stamps - and she was sitting there creating wonderful backgrounds for them. I am so tempted to buy some new stamps - he he.

Love the colours and fun theme. Love reading about the method too - you put your heart and soul into your cards - and maybe sometimes everything but the kitchen sink!
