will know I love flowers and frills, so I should be right at
home.

I loved the iron fencing on this paper and thought straight away of a garden
with a fairy in it. Of course the photo is of my daughter, now a lot older, but still
she was my little fairy back then.
To start with I have fussy cut the gate and layered over the top of the
image on the bottom. This way I could make the gate
seem a little further up the page.
I love to alter papers, even when they are as nice the Damask Garden Collection.
I have splattered a little purple Glimmer mist and White dylusions over the surface
to add depth to the background.
I love to coil the wire on paper roses and dab them with
a little gesso to soften the look.
I have cut out the striped flowers in the Damask labels. I like to roughly
cut them out first, then use a dry glue stick to adhere
the shape to smooth white cardstock.
Then I fussy cut the image, this makes the element sturdy and
you can attach it to your layout with less 3 D foam tape.
Ink the edges with black ink to disguise the white card on the sides.
I have done this for the vines at the top right of the
layout too.
I have sprayed the chipboard gate with black spray paint, then covered with Dimensional magic
while wet I added micro beads. Allow to dry, then
swipe with gesso to bring up the texture of the micro beads
I have trimmed the tassels of the band and adhered them to the rail of
the gate.
