This is what I have created with the The Fairyland digi collection - my very first stepper card!
I used Frances Burne's (of StampOwl's Studio fame) stepper card tutorial on Splitcoaststampers although I adapted it as I wanted the centre to be wider to fit my image. I used papers from the My Mind's Eye Sweetest Thing Tangerine collection and the Lil' Inker Designs square stitched mat die on the matting. And do you love those leaves and teeny tiny butterflies? They are from the Round Leaves set and I just added some punched flowers with flat backed pearls for the centres. Here's a closer look...
Copics used:
Log - E31, E33, E35, E37
Plants and hats - G20, G43, G46, G28
Toadstools - E50, E53, R00, R12, R08
Hair - E50, E53, E57, E33, E37
Skin - E000, E00, E21
