Seems I just can't help myself when it comes to choosing themes, at Stampalot Challenge this month we would like to see 'Magical Worlds' and at Penny Black at Allsorts 'Shape Up' anything but square or rectangle.......I know I didn't have to go floral with that one, but somehow that's what I ended up with, so no surprises really.
My Stampalot fairy scene started by using a mask to create an oval then some brayering using the good old Speedball and Adirondack dye inks and stamping with a mixture of Artstamps (castle) Personal Impressions (large fairy and toadstools) and tiny Lavinia fairies.
I used Grand nesties one to create the actual card for my Penny Black make, distressed a piece of Fabrianao watercolour card with TH spun sugar and peeled paint to match the pretty Kaiser DP, then stamped randomly with a number of different Penny Black stamps. The swirls were cut with a Marianne die and punched flowers dotted about, a butterfly and some stickles and glitter.

WOW!!!!!! shaped cards are not my thing...nor are easel cards. here you combine the two and make a stunner of a card!!! absolutely love it!!! amazing!!! :)
I love thew ay you've matted those layers on the first - really striking with the black silhouettes at the forefront & the scene - like a window looking out. I particularly like the way you've added some pink flowers & leaves. The second one is a joy too, very different but I love how you've matched the scene with the patterned paper & I just cannot resist flowers & leaves, not to mention butterflies.
