Believe Fairy Card

 Hi everyone!  I am so excited to share this card with you today!  I just love this fairy house, and it was super fun to color!  This card is for Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes.

I already had an idea in my head of what I wanted this card to look like so I stamped out all of my images first.  I used two different stamp sets from Streamside Studios.  I used the awesome Fairy House Clear Stamp Set, and the Happy Fairy Clear Stamp Set.  I colored all of my images with Copic markers and fussy cut them out.  

Next, I used the third largest die in Waffle Flower's A7 Layers die set to cut out a piece of smooth white cardstock for the background, on which I blended Distress Oxide Inks Scattered Straw, Tattered Rose, and Milled Lavender.  I then splattered some gold watercolor onto my inked panel and set it aside to dry.  For the grass I used Lawn Fawn's Simple Grassy Hillsides die set, and adhered it directly to my background.  

For the cardbase I cut a piece of Kraft cardstock using the largest die in Waffle Flower's Lacy Layers 5 x 7 die set.  I then adhered my background panel to my cardbase with tape runner, and adhered all of my images with a combination of liquid glue, and foam tape for some dimension.

For the sentiment I decided on a black cardstock banner, which I die cut using the Quick Strips die set by Whimsy Stamps.  I gold heat embossed the "Believe" sentiment from Streamside Studios Fairy House Clear Stamp Set, and popped up the sentiment banner with foam tape.
