Crafts and Me Stamps Challenge: Shades of Spring

The digi design team over at the Crafts and Me Stamps challenge blog wants to see your Shades of Spring.  Crafts and Me Stamps is sponsoring this challenge and offering THREE digi images as a prize to the randomly selected winner.  You can find out more about this challenge and sponsor here.

Teresa has recently released two new lines of digital papers.  I printed sheets 10 and 20 from the new Floral Fantasy 12x12 range.  At first glance through the digi papers, they appear to be super bold and bright.  When printed, these gorgeous papers have a more subtle, realistic tone.

I used my bluish-toned sheet #10 and die cut it using my Sizzix Big Shot Pro 3D House die.  I've added a sweet home sentiment from the Crafty Secrets Home Sweet Home set die cut with the smallest of the Spellbinders Labels Five dies.  A bit of Creative Imaginations felt ribbon lines the roof.

The more pinkish-toned sheet #20 is die cut using my Sizzix Bigz Extra Long House Box.  A touch of cotton lace hangs from the inside of the door's window.

Here's a view of the front of my fairy houses . . .



I fussy cut around two of the recently released silhouette images: Nature Fairy and Fairy Friends to accent my fairy houses.

My only embellishments are a few flowers positioned behind the fence, between the houses. Flower Soft in mixed greens adorn each window.

I've got to share the side view too so you can see more of these marvelous digital papers . . .



and the back . . .


Now let's take a look inside at the fairy furniture . . . no, no, no - LOL!!! - I'm just kidding.

Fairies, butterflies, a little mouse, beautiful flowers, sweet colors . . . looks like Spring to me!
