Fairy Happy Birthday

Hi again!  Sure didn't expect to be back so soon, but I snuck into my craft room  and managed to finish a card I was working on.  If you are looking for my Little Miss Muffet GDT card, please scroll down one post.  This card I'm sharing was made for a bunch of challenges:  Sweet Sketch Wednesday #172 (sketch), Whoopsi Daisy Challenge (make it girly), and a few challenges that all had the exact same theme (things with wings) - Love to Create #33, Digital Tuesday #178, Fab 'n' Funky Challenges #139, Charisma Cardz #37 and Crafting For All Seasons #36.

Here is SSW-172:


Here is my card:


My cards base and mats are SU Bashful Blue and the patterned papers are from the Prima Meadow Lark 6x6 pad.  My sweet fairy image is from Whoopsi Daisy.  Linnie generously shared her as a freebie awhile back.  I printed her on Canson Watercolor Paper and colored her with Distress Inks (Antique Linen, Tattered Rose, Scattered Straw, Salty Ocean, Worn Lipstick and a little Milled Lavender). I added Star Dust Stickles to her wings and boots, Diamond Stickles to the butterflies and Fruit Punch Stickles to her bodice.  The sentiment is from Guylou's Inimitability.  It is a free sentiment when you purchase Starla in the GI store here.  Some satin ribbon and a few Wild Orchid Crafts roses finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the fairy:


Thanks for stopping by again!  Enjoy the rest of your day and hope to see you soon!
