Using two different Lavinia Stamp sets "Make a Wish" and "Three Dancing Fairies" this card was created for my niece's birthday, inside is a holder for a little cash or gift card. I want her to think about her wishes for the future so there are real dandelion seeds in the bottle. Our wishes can be unlimited!
Images are stamped with Ranger Ink Archival Ink. The background is sprayed with Ranger Ink Dylusion and Color Wash sprays on thick water color paper. A grouping of rhinestones from my stash was put in the middle of the stamped dandelion. The fairies' wings are glazed over with Triple Thick. The word WISH at the top are letters made from resin using Martha Stewart's alphabet silicone mold and colored with Ranger Ink patinas & alcohol inks to match the background. The touches of glitter on the stamped "seeds" and word are made with Diamond Stickles by Ranger. Under the fairy's feet is just a shadow of Black Soot Distress Ink by Tim Holtz.
In the mini bottle are 3 real dandelion "wish" seeds that I gathered earlier this autumn. E6000 holds the cork in so those seeds will be there for her in years to come should she need them. A tiny metal butterfly (also touched with Diamond glitter Stickles) hangs from the copper chain that is held with two diamond shaped rhinestone brads. I brushed a Krylon silver pen over the chain in a few spots so it would match the brads (I've had those brads in my stash for probably 10 years!)
Green and black paper is by Bazzill.
