The Hero Arts Woodgrain Bold Prints was stamped on smooth white cardstock with Ground Espresso Distress Oxide Ink. Antique Linen, Gathered Twigs, and Ground Espresso were inked blended over the background to created the "tree" effect.
A Hero Arts Fairy Doors Infinity Dies was die cut from the background to create a "door". The door is able to be an interactive element however I opted to not use it as one today. A window was die cut from the door and detail was added with a W9 Copic Markers. The hinges, lock, and door knocker were die cut from Lawn Fawn Gold Metallic Cardstock and adhered to the door.
The Hero Arts Mushroom and Ferns Fancy Dies, fairy from the Hero Arts Fairy Window Fancy Die, and butterfly from the Hero Arts Bouquet Accessories Fancy Dies were die cut from smooth white cardstock and colored with the following Copic Markers:
- Mushrooms: R24, R46, R39, YR31, YR23, YR24, E55, E57

*Note* The Hero Arts Fairy Window Fancy Die is not a new product. I was looking for a fairy that would fit the size and scale of the Fairy Doors. I trimmed this one from a cover die and I love how it turned out!
The scene was assembled as shown. A greeting from the Hero Arts Meadow Heroscape Stamp Set was stamped on the door with Hero Arts Embossing & Watermark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
The card was finished with a scattering of confetti for that "magical" effect.
