Hi Everyone
I've been busy with my Crafters Companion ultimate pro and the advanced construction technique dvd I used to be a plain 6x6 inch card maker but since using the ultimate i cannot stop making things. I love it. For anyone out there please let me put your mind at rest that i never always felt this way and it was really just about me using it more and more and becoming more practised in using it. it really didn't tkae me long though just a couple of days of trying different things.
Today i have made a drawer easel card from the DVD and also used an image from the Fairyopolis Decoupage packs. The background paper is from the fairyopolis 12x12" paper pad and they are all stunning and compliment the fairy images perfectly. I just love fairies and have done since i was a child. My older sister and i had the original books and used to copy the fairy drawings and colour them in on Sunday afternoons.
The card used to make the drawers and flowers is coredenation all in the family, grapes. I have embossed the card using the ultimate pro embossing board springtime sweets and cupcake treats and if you have seen some of my other posts you will see it is a favourite of mine for the flowers you can create. The two matting and layering circles are from the same board and again were very easy to do and i have distressed the card with the sand it gadget.
The only extra things i have used are some purple ribbon and some brads for the drawer fronts and for the flower centres. The tag is embossed form the same board as the flowers so no need for more expensive die cut templates. The with love sentiment is also from the fairyopolis range, fairyoplis 6x12" rub ons . i gave up trying rub ons a while ago as they never seemed to work for me but again the quality of these from CC is fab. It worked first time. Oh and nearly forgot I've used iridescent spray and sparkle on the fairy wings but the photo doesn't do it justice.
Hope you like it.

That's stunning Louise. I don't like fairies usually, except for the flower fairies, and this is beautiful.
