This card was sent out quite a few weeks ago so it is safe to show and tell. The fairy stamp is one I bought on the Facebook Craft Declutter group - infact it was the first item I actually managed to get to in time to purchase. I love it! It's by Rubber Stampede and has a sentiment on the top left which I masked off for this card.
The background and all the foliage are by - a company who won't allow other companies to be used or mentioned on their challenge blog. I find that really annoying. I do agree that if you're entering a challenge you should have the courtesy to use the companies stamps, but to only use theirs in my opinion is very restrictive. I'm debating whether to boycott the two companies I know of that have this ruling.
I used one of Sheena Douglas's large embossing folders to get the embossed 8" by 8" background and added huge gems to add plenty of bling! The central image is well and truly glittered, but that doesn't tend to show up well in photos.

I spotted this card in my thumbnails and had to have a closer look. I just love silhouettes, and you have made a very pretty background. When I clicked to enlarge the image, the glitter could be seen just fine.
I am with you against 'exclusive' companies. I gave up one challenge because I found it too restrictive to keep to their products. I have a wide range of stamps, and don't just favour one or two makes, so I can't always meet their criteria.
Anyway. This is a beautiful card. I hope the recipient agreed with me! Kate x
Just gorgeous, love the colours and the embossing complements the beautiful scene.
Thanks for joining us at CCM&M.
