Oh wow the challenge at http://thisthursday.wordpress.com/ has really kept me busy (when I should be ironing and doing one thousand and one other things), but oh what fun I've had!!!
The challenge was to use something from the back of the cupboard - something that needs dusting down! Well I have been sorting my craft stuff out (ongoing for the last 4 weeks and cannot see an end to it!) and have found so many little gems that have never been used.
Oh shame on me!!!
As I was putting away some brass stencils I noticed one of a door that caught my eye. I really liked an article in this month's Craft Stamper magazine about Fairy Doors and had intended to make Laura one for her room in Spain.
Finding the stencil seemed to be a sign. My door cards are nothing like the ones in the magazine as my stencil is small and I've converted mine into cards - one for Laura (a pink person) and one for her friend Elaine (more dark and mysterious).
Things went wrong along the way but I think Laura and Elaine will be pleased with them.
Materials used:
- fairy papers by Dovecraft
- brass door stencil
- brown card
- make a wish sentiment stamp
- silver mirri card
- gold mirri card
- self adhesive gems and fine art glitter
- sanding block (to distress brown door)
