Dance With Fairies

Good morning!  Happy Monday! It's possible for Monday to be happy, right?  Hope you had a good weekend and your week is off to a great start!  I have a busy afternoon, but I'm popping in now to share the card I made for the Designed To Color Birthday Bash Crafty Challenge.   It is a "tic tac toe" challenge.

We had to include a colored image and select any three in a row from the following:


I chose the first column - purple, ribbon and bling.  Here is my card:


My card base and mats are SU Concord Crush and the patterned paper is from the Fab Scraps Blue Heron collection.  My beautiful fairy is Fairy Celandine from Make it Crafty.  I was lucky to win this rubber stamp during the Advent countdown this past December.  I stamped her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I cut her out with my Cameo and popped her up on foam tape.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  Paulette generously shared it as a freebie a couple of days ago.   I dyed some seam binding with Popsicle (purple) Glimmer Mist and made a triple-loop bow.  The ornate corner was cut with my Cameo using a Curvy Corner Element from SVG Cuts.  A few iridescent purple gems finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:


Thanks for stopping by!  I'll be by to visit your blogs as soon as I get home this afternoon.

I am also entering my card in the following challenges:
Stamptacular Sunday #205 (sketch)
Sentimental Sunday #144 (fairies with wings)
The Squirrel and The Fox #38 (fairy tale or fantasy)
613 Avenue Create (anything goes,optional tic tac toe; I chose free-digi or stamped image-ribbon)
The Cutie Pie Challenge #39 (magical)

Have a great day and see you soon!
