A Cute Fairy Birthdaygirl Card.

Good afternoon everyone,

What a beautiful day, I really shouldn't be sat in my craft room, I should be taking advantage of the dry spell and doing some gardening. But hey, this is far more fun.

Today's card is using the sketch over on the 'A Gem of a Design' weekly challenge blog and the 'Faye with Dandelion' digistamp from 'Pink Gem Designs' . I only just found this web site whilst visiting various blogs and think the digi's are lovely. There is something for every occasion. They're also doing a DT call, so if anyone is interested, pop on over. I'll be putting my name down, gonna have loads of time on my hands after Thursday,  (Ahhhh, the big one) so I'll need something to keep me out of trouble. :)

I've not followed a sketch before, I didn't know if it would be a bit limiting. I needn't have worried, I really enjoyed doing this one and it does still leave some space for artistic licence. I think it was more difficult trying to keep within the sketch.

I coloured the digi with promarkers and added a bit of glitter to the wings.  The patterned circles are  'Me to You'  and the plain background paper from my stash. The flowers, well we all know about them by now, if not see here. I used the spellbinders floral flourishes in the same colours and added a bit of detail with some faux stitching. The sentiment was a freebie in a magazine and I just tied some silver ribbon through the hole.  Cute, isn't she?
