Hello All....
Well guess what I’ve been having a playing with.... Funky Foam lol!!!!
Today is the launch of our NEW Product Focus week, so being that I have fallen in love with the NEW Fairy Wishes Collection, I thought I we would make a Fairy card... so lets go!!
Step 1
▪️First cut out the Enchanted Lattice Die front in white foam, and then in purple foam, cut out the back section.
▪️Next, take Fluttering Ivy and again cut her out in white, with her butterflies in pink and purple.
▪️Cut out Moonlit Phoebe in white with one toadstool in red and one in white.
▪️From Starry Angela’s set, cut out some yellow stars.
▪️Next cut some small purple and pink foam flowers from the Deckled Edge Blossom Set.
You want about three sets of each foliage branch in green foam.
▪️Cut one Entwined Rose Border in white foam.
▪️Lastly cut out the "With Love" sentiment in black foam and here you want the backing in pink.
✅ TIP - Don’t forget to put a piece of card between your foam and cutting mat to prevent impressions on the foam from your used plate..
Step 2
▪️Take a 7x7 white card blank and cover the front with Sky Blue Maya card... so it’s a tent fold.
Now stick the white lattice on top of the purple backing of the little fence, and then stick it to the bottom of the card with foam pads.
✅ NOTE - Leave enough room at the top to tuck foliage behind.
Step 3
▪️Take your Entwined Rose border and colour with alcohol pens or Ranger Inks - you need green, brown and pink tones.
▪️Adhere this to the Enchanted Lattice and then stick some foliage behind the lattice (as seen).📸
Step 4
Colour your fairies....
▪️Now I'm not the greatest at colouring, however I used my alcohol pens and sparkled them up with Cosmic Shimmer Aurora Twinkles (if you know me by now, you will know I LOVE these!!
(I’m afraid Ivy put in a bit too much Lippy but I didn’t have the heart to tell her lol)
▪️Take the red toadstool and cut off the top and stick it onto the white one.
I used some pens here to colour the stem and the underneath.
Then with a black pen colour the spots on top.
▪️Use foam pads to stick the toadstool onto the lattice and then stick Pheobe on top of the pads also.
▪️I've been a little creative with my placing here...
I've stuck Ivy sitting in the lattice fence like they are having a chat, placing a pad or two behind her where she is above the fence, placing a butterfly in her hand.
Step 5
▪️Stick the "With Love" wording onto the sentiment backing and then glue it on the card with foam pads.
▪️Make up a couple of small flowers as seen, and stick them either side of the sentiment.
✅ TIP - I find hot glue is great for making up flowers as it is super strong, especially helpful when you are building layers and adding gems etc.
▪️Now stick some foliage around the sentiment and flowers, then the stars and butterflies.....
To finish, I've added some tiny gems for Ivy’s headband and some on Phoebe's pony tail :-)
You see Funky Foam adds a whole different dynamic to your projects and emboss' wonderfully - plus it feels so soft!!
