Garden Fairy and Exciting News!

Hi there!  Happy Thursday!  Hope you've had a good week so far!  This is a prescheduled post because I am enjoying time with my BFF who is visiting from Michigan this week, so I hope you see it on time.  I have some exciting news to share!  I was invited to be a Guest Designer for the Crafty Little Fairies Challenge for the next two months!  I am thrilled because I always enjoy playing along with their challenges!  Have you heard they are going to a monthly challenge?  Check out all the details on the Crafty Little Fairies blog.  The theme for May is "in the garden".  Perfect for this time of year!

Here is my card:


My card base and mats are from my stash and the patterned paper is from the Best Creations Inc. A Walk in the Garden 6x6 pad.  The super cute image is On TipToe by Lili of the Valley.  I stamped it on MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I added in the clouds and sky and grass with my Copics, too.  A pretty doily and a few Wild Orchid Crafts flowers finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:


Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to check out the gorgeous projects from the Crafty Little Fairies DT!  I'm sure they would love you to play along with the challenge!

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge (sketch with a twist: something old and new; old patterned paper, new image; never used)
Addicted to Stamps Challenge #81 (things with wings)
The Cutie Pie Challenge #68 (April showers bring May flowers)
Loves Rubberstamps Challenge #101 (photo inspiration)
Crafting For All Season #76 (lots of layers)

Here is the CHAC sketch:
