​2. Then blended Elements ink Mulberry using a No 3 stencil brush concentrating on the bottom for depth

3. The finished circle

​4. Stamped part way round circle using Fairy Catkins and Versafine Clair Pinecone

​4. Again using Versafine Clair Pinecone stamped and extra piece of Fairy Catkin on the right, Fairy Dust Silhouette and one of the Small Pine Trees

​5.  Using a torn piece of copy paper created hills using a No 3 Stencil brush and Truffles Elements ink

​6.  I stamped the Mini Pixie houses and Fairy Ladders in Versafine Clair Pinecone.  Using the No 3 Lavinia stencil brush and Elements Truffle created shadows beneath them

​7. I added one of the Fairy Foragers and the other three Mini Pine Trees using Versafine Clair Pinecone.  The spotlight was created using a circle mask using No 9 Stencil Brush with Elements Sahara.  The hills beneath the circle were created with Elements Truffles and a cut piece of copy paper


​8. Used the No 9 Stencil brush with Elements Sahara around the edge of card also stamped in second generation Winter Magic using Pinecone.  Extended the shading beneath the Fairy Dust Silhouette using Elements Truffle



9. Coloured the Catkins and fairy wings Using Yellow and orange sparkle Pens as could not find my Wink of Stella so apologize for that. Recommend Kuretake Zig Clean Color Real brush pens with Wink of Stella over the top. Bronze signo Glitter gel pen for hair
