Enchanted Forest!

Crafter's Companion is bringing Sara Signature Enchanted Forest to HSN on November 9.  This is a great bundle with many additional pieces you can add on.  Here is a peek at a card I made.

I used Harmony inkpads (Plum Pudding & Lagoon) blended with water to create the background on Spectrum Noir Watercolor paper.

I used Enchanted Forest Luxury Cardstocks for the side bases and again for the front of the card.  The front of the card is the die from the Wisteria Window Create-a-card die set.

I stamped the Enchanted Forest Believe stamp on the background using Spectrum Noir Finesse Black inkpad.

The other pieces were all cut from Enchanged Forest dies and added onto the card to create a little scene.   I used pop dots and folder paper behind the diecuts to give it a multi layer look.
