And on to my project! It's all about the fairy magic.

These powders were a dream to work with. So much lustre and shimmer and a touch of glitter.

I started with a 5X7 canvas board and used Dina Wakely Black Gesso to cover it. Once that was dry I stamped a border with my Branch Out and Mushroom stamp from Emerald Creek.

I moved that aside and then cut out a small piece from my Graphic 45 paper stash of Fairie Dust. I embossed the first letters with Kiss of the Fairy and did the border with Dragon's Egg.

Then it was time for the fairies!! Adorable little chipboard ones from Southern Ridge Trading Company. Let the embossing begin! For these little ones I used the Fairy Wings set and started with the base for all of them. The little bird was done with Mermaid Fin (such pretty glitter)

I have the bird feeding fairy and the artist fairy painting her canvas.

This little one was done with the Fairy Wings Base, Green, Gold and Blue over the base.

The artist fairy was done with the Fairy Wings Base, Blue, Purple, Pink and on the body I added a touch of Kiss of the Fairy for the sparkle.

And one last shot of the completed project. I just love the colours and how they all work together and you can use the Fairy Wings base on it's own too, such a pretty iridescent purple shine.
