Directions:

1. Position six dominoes, blank side up, into a rectangular shape on a flat surface.
2. Stamp the image with StazOn on the domino surface (centered) and allow to dry.
3. Heat set image with heat gun.

4. Color the image with pencils using the blue on the flowers, wings and bubbles.
5. Using the purple pencil, color over the blue areas lightly allowing both colors to mix.
6. Color the leaves green.
7. Position the scrap mat board on a flat surface.
8. Begin adhering the dominoes, starting with the middle piece, to the scrap mat board with the Omni Stick by placing a few drops on the back of each.

9. Allow the adhesive to dry.
10. Working with the foam tape, create a strip about 3" long, layering and adhering six additional strips to it, repeat three more times. (This will add dimension to the frame.)
11. Attach foam tape to the back of the black mat board at a diagonal.
 
12. Once the matted dominoes have dried, adhere the mat, centering the domino art in the window.
13. To create a sturdy backing for hanging, cut a piece of foam board slightly smaller than the mat (about 7.75 x 9.5"). 

14. Cut a piece of heavy card stock the same dimensions of the foam board and adhere to one side. (This will create a finished look to the back of the wall hanging.)
15. Adhere the bare side of the foam board to the back of the wall hanging and allow the piece to dry.
16. If desired, attach to pull tops from aluminum cans to the back of the wall art for hangers, otherwise a small table top stand can be used for displaying.

Lisa Victoria's Bubble Fairy is such a sweet image, I love the beautiful teacup and how imaginative pixies and fairies can be.

Connie-Bubble Fairy

I've been itching to get this gorgeous Sweet Pea stamp inked and finally had time today to play.

I stamped the Bubble Fairy by Lisa Victoria with Tuxedo Black ink by Memento

and colored with Copic markers.

Then I did some "fussy cutting" and trimmed it out.

I then cut some light blue paper with a Spellbinder die

"large scalloped octagon" and ran that thru

a Cuttlebug embossing folder "bubbles"

I punched one side of some peach paper with a 

Martha Stewart border punch "shells"and

finally layered it all together.

I popped the image up and added some blue gems

to replace the bubbles I cut off.

Also added small gold gems along the punched edge and

some Stickles on the wings.

Oh yes!  I tied some sheer ribbon around the cup handle also.

I hope you like this as much as I do.

Bubble Fairy

When I saw Bubble Fairy drawn by Lisa Victoria for Sweet Pea Stamps I instantly fell in love! A fairy taking a bubble bath in a teacup- PERFECT! Such a sweet fairy and such a dainty teacup.


I first stamped the image with Memento Ink so that I could color it with my markers and not have to worry about it running. The flowers on the teacup made me think of Forget-Me-Knots. If you have never had the opportunity to see Forget-Me-Knots in real life, not only are they blue, but they have a really pretty pinkish/purplish center to them. I tried to capture that in my coloring.



After I finished coloring the image I put Pixie Dust Shimmerz on the wings for the proper 'fairy look'. The pink velvet ribbon, jeweled center Color Me Crazy florettes (my go to flower right now!) with inked edges and Basic Grey Koshi paper finished it all off.
