I am using Fairy Hugs - Fairy Teacup!
For this card, I am using Fairy Hugs Craft Paper - Petalshimmer designed by Shwu-Miin Tang
I wanted to get as much use out of one paper as i could. So i die cut a Tutti Designs - Stitched Nesting Tag from the paper and set the paper aside. Then I die cut a larger tag from cardstock and stamped it with Fairy Hugs - Coffee Word Collage and then i inked the edges with Distress Oxide Ink - Salvaged Patina. Next i diecut out a circle that "just fit" inside of the tag. I needed that circle so i could stamp Fairy Hugs - Fairy Teacup. *note not all of the teacup handle fit on that circle..which is why i inked up some card stock with VersaFine Clair - Golden Meadow (it matches perfectly with this paper sheet) and stamped and fussy cut out the butterfly from Fairy Hugs - Thank you set. Next, i wanted to pull in some more interest and color, so i inked up some card stock with Distress Oxide - Dusty Concorde and diecut Tutti Designs - Bell Flowers. I cut those apart so i could put them on both sides of the Fairy Teacup. But let me back up... i die cut a Marianne design doily to cover up the circle i cut from the tag and inked that with Distress Oxide Ink - Vintage Photo. I then cut out another circle to mat the Fairy Teacup and inked the edges with Distress Oxide Ink - Dusty Concord and Chipped Sapphire.
Okay, so let's layer up what we've made so far. *note i did used foam tape between the purple circle and the brown doily. The largest tag with the Coffee Word Collage, the Petalshimmer tag, the brown doily, (i placed the Tutti Designs Bell flower (left piece i cut off the main die) in between the dark circle and the doily) add the dark circle and the left side of Tutti Designs - Bell Flower. Next i colored up the Fairy Hugs - Fairy Teacup and put that on top of the layers. Next i glued the butterflies on top.
Set that aside and pull out the background Petalshimmer paper that has had the tag cut out of it. One the left hand side i have used a Fairy Hugs Stencil - Water Stains with Molding paste and Distress Oxide Embossing Glaze. As soon as i lift off the stencil i add the Embossing glaze and let that set for a bit.. i don't want it completely dry before i heat emboss it. I could have used a static powder, but i actually like the powder that way.. if you don't use the static powder before you get started with the molding paste. I love the glaze look i get when i use the embossing glaze. Ok, so i decided to stamp the entire Coffee Word Collage again and fussy cut out the one sentiment, distressed it with Distress Oxide Ink - Vintage Photo and used a piece of the Dusty Concord inked paper from the Bell Flowers to mat the sentiment. Now for putting it all together.. adhere the stencilled paper to the card base. Then adhere the tag combination to the stenciled paper.
Next, i added the sentiment with foam tape and glued on some gold metal sequins.
