Mel's Magic Moments Fairy Ring

For my second sample using the Mel's Magic Moments stamp collection from Clarity, I worked on a larger card and used the smaller stamps to create a fairy ring.

Using the largest and sixth smallest nested circle dies, cut a frame from a piece of Clarity 7” x 7” stencil card. Using the largest and fifth smallest nested circle picot dies, cut a mat from black card, lay the white frame onto the black card to line up the dies accurately before cutting.

Stamp one of the fairies from the Magic Moments stamp set at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock on the white frame in Onyx Black Versafine ink.

Stamp the second fairy between the others in the same ink.

Add the small sparkle stamp between each of the fairies.

Colour the fairies using Derwent Inktense pencils, blended out with a watercolour brush pen.

Add sparkle to the wings with a clear sparkle pen and add the frame to the black mat.

Lay the frame onto the front of a 7” x 7” white card blank. Stamp both the sentiments through the aperture in Onyx Black Versafine ink.

Add the small star cluster inside the aperture and the larger star cluster into each corner in the same ink as before. Use a stamp platform to ensure symmetry.

Add colour to the large sentiment and the stars in the same way as the fairies.

To finish, add the fairy ring frame to the front of the card.
