Fairy Stamper Fancy Birds and Musical Dandelion + A Colorful Life Designs Rectangle Shadow Stencil

Hello! This cute card is getting a lot of positive feedback on Facebook, so I thought should add a blog post to share some information on how I created this beauty! Thanks to everyone on Facebook who commented and THANK YOU for stopping by my blog today.

I created this card using the Three Rectangle Shadow Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs. I sprayed the back of the stencil with Pixie Spray, and then placed a white card panel size 4.25" x 5.5" (Hammermill Premium Color Copy Plus paper) behind the stencil. The stencil has laser etched guides on the top so that you can perfectly align the stencil:

I used Catherine Pooler Inks in these Colors:

Catching Rays (top rectangle)
Cummerbund (middle rectangle)
In the Park (bottom rectangle)

Using foam domed blending tools, I ink blended the rectangles.

I stamped the Musical Dandelion first. I then added the large bird in the bottom rectangle and the smaller bird in the top rectangle. I used Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink to stamp these Fairy Hugs stamps. I then used a die from my stash. The word Hope is very special to me, and I felt the birds and the musical dandelion were very hopeful images. I used orange holographic paper to cut out the word Hope. I also cut the word Hope out with white card stock twice. Then I glued the two white die cuts under the orange holographic die cut, creating a three layer die cut. After that, I simply trimmed the edges of the panel with my guillotine trimmer and adhered it to an A2 top folding card base.

Here is a list of the supplies that I used:
