For this Tea Potter Challenge the theme was "built it and they will come".
This card depicts a top end penthouse for fairies. As you can see it is in high demand. Don't think the couple sitting together can really afford it - and are sitting looking at it wishfully and planning.
The colourful background for this card is a water coloured panel. I stamped the fairy penthouse on the background and again on white card. Coloured and fussy cut the house and layered it up on the card.
The background was then added with lots of different foliage stamps from Lavinia. Used Misti to stamp up the fairy images so that I could get a nice dark image.
Then with a sprinkle of fairy dust (glitter glue) added to the dotty tree and house (learnt that from Susie Australia) the card was finished.
Hope you enjoy.

The berries look ripe enough to eat. What a lovely fairy scene.

Fun card tile and I loved reading your story. Helen your fairy penthouse is magical as is everything else on your wonderful creation. Great idea to add the fussy cut layer on the house (I am still trying to master it - so special). You sure have inspired me and I love your sparkly trees. Hope you are cool.
