When I first saw the new Stampin Up catalogue there was really one one stamp set I had my heart on which was Dandelion Wishes. As it was out of stock for a while in the UK I've had to wait patiently but finally I get to play with it.
My card today uses this stamp set as well as another SU one called Fairy Celebration. I don't actually have this set but a fellow SU demo Jane Allmark who is part of my Joy of Sets Facebook group very kindly RAK'd me this gorgeous 3d Fairy she had made with this set and I really wanted to add her to the Dandelion Wishes.
Another SU demo friend Andrea Parr also very kindly RAK'd me some of the new SU papers and in particular I was drawn to this gorgeous one which I think is called Twinkle Twinkle. I decided to tear the paper and ink the edges with SU Night of Navy. I added a Pearlized Doily which was also gently inked with the Navy just to soften the colour.
I used Versamark to emboss the dandelions onto the card and used non SU silver powder. I used the Stitched Framelit dies to cut out the sentiment and silver embossed the sentiment and the flowers.
I'm adding this card into the following challenges:
Make My Monday - #75 - Fantasy
As You See It - Old is new again - paper tearing is definitely making a comeback
SUO Challenges - your favourite stamps
Addicted to Stamps - Anything Goes
Try Stampin On Tuesday - Tic Tac Toe - Tearing, Blue, Die Cut

Fiona - so fun and playful! The dandelions are a perfect pairing with the fairies, such a great idea! Love your coloring and paper choices! Thanks so much for playing at TSOT!!
Beautiful card, Fiona! I didn't realize you knew Jane. She does some really great work, too! I've referenced her tutorials on my blog just this past week! Thank you for sharing your talents once again with us at Try Stampin' on Tuesday!!! -Donna
Dandelion Wishes is a pretty set and I like the way you've embossed it on the Night of Navy. Paper tearing is a great technique and not one I've used in a while - funny how things quietly slip out of your toolbox without you even noticing. Our challenge this week was actually a sketch challenge but thank you for joining in with us at As You See It.
Beautiful card and fabulous stamps love the dandelions

what a lovely card, I just love when someone put the sentiment on something other than white and it just works so well.
