A magical moment....

Hi, Susan here again!!!!

I decided to break my colour habit with this one and chose colours that remind me of warmth and cosiness.

I used a great sketch for this from Cupcake Craft, it jumped out at me as being the right one to use for this card.

My backing papers are from our stash, had these loose papers for ages, they must have belonged in books at one time, but sorry can't remember what they were called. I distressed all the edges then glittered them with stickles, because fairies like glitter!!

This beautiful digi image is from Pollycraft. Such a gorgeous thoughtful little mushroom fairy. I coloured her in with Pro-Markers, her wings were given a little extra sparkle by using stickles, I then slightly inked the background before distressing the edges and glittering them.


The ribbon as usual is from our local market. The little metal charm that I had to use because the colours were just right is from our stash.


My flowers as usual are a mixture of my own handmade flower and some from Wild Orchid Crafts. I slightly glittered the edges of them all to follow the theme of my card.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:-

Thank you for taking the time to look at my card, I hope you liked it.

Love Susan
