It is no secret that one of the things I love best about Altered Pages is the large catalog of digital collage images. They can be used as a single focal image on a project or combined in a seemingly infinite amount of ways. This greeting card today uses images from several different collage sets to create a sweet floral fairy scene.
I picked out three of my favorite images and cut each one out in detail. There was a lot of white in both the daisy and fairy images so I grabbed my craft knife and started by pruning the daisies. When I was satisfied with my trimming I used glitter glue on the daisy centers. I printed off a second image so that I could mount the center flower on foam dots.
I ended up leaving some of the white toward the bottom because there were other things going on. I added a white flower border and pale yellow Dew Drops to the bottom. I find that when you're making a scenery card, it helps your eye to rest when there is a bottom base. Using a floral border helps create the image of the fairy dancing in the garden.
The words were also mounted with foam dots. A few butterflies as playmates for the fairy and I've got a fun little note card.
