Firstly, I must credit all the ideas I've seen on Pinterest - by such talented crafters, and especially to Bronwyn Eastley, and Australian demo, who has produced a fantastic tutorial on an absolutely amazing castle scene. However, I don't own all the little extra dies needed to recreate her 3D diorama, so here I have a largish step card, using the Magical bundle, SU blends, but paper and stencils from my stash.
I've used the whole A4 card for this card - the middle step is 3.25" wide, and the side steps are 2.5" wide. I've made an intermediate step to give 3 layers. I've added the turrets (a MFT banner die trimmed to remove a little of the points) and the roof of the castle - just triangles cut to adhere to the top of the castle keeps. The door is cut from woodgrain paper using a tag shape, trimmed a little at the bottom, and the trees are a bit of fantasy - as if there wasn't enough! I sponged the slits for the windows using the same stencil as the brick facade, carefully masking the area around it.
Nowhere near as authentic as Bronwyn's but I had such fun. I hope you like it!
