Away With The Fairies

Hi Lovelies,

Just popping in with a card I've made which was inspired by a challenge over at The Paper Shelter's challenge blog called Away with the fairies. Its my beautiful wee niece Aliyah's 4th birthday coming up, although there's still a few weeks to wait yet but I'm so chuffed with myself for actually getting it done in plenty of time which really does make a change because i'm usually panicking trying to create something the night before. I just love this adorable little fairy called A Little Bit Grumpy which I originally purchased as soon as it was released as it reminded me so much of my youngest daughter when she was little, saying that having just turned 13 i'm sure I have plenty more years of her being a stroppy teenager to come.

Anyway I digress, here's my card in the hopes that I will just catch the challenge before it closes...


The papers have all come from my stash most of which being bits and snippets that came as freebies from papercrafting magazines, except the yellow and white paper in the background which was from a Born To Shop Creative Papercraft Kit that was purchased from Docrafts some time ago. The flowers used were a gift from a friend that have been in my stash for a wee while but were originally purchased from WOC. Along with the beady flowers in the corners, gems and piece of ribbon that again was an off-cut, the bunting was hand cut from a bit left over from the paper that was used at the bottom of the layer directly beneath 'lil miss grumpy'. I will  be adding this to pixies crafty workshop where she holds a challenge in her 'playground' every week that is always to use 'Snippets' to which I've used a few in making this card. 


The wee fairy was coloured with the following of my beloved Spectrum Noir alcohol pens - 
GB2, GB8, GB10, EB7, CG2, CG3, JG1, CT1, LY2, LY3, FS2, FS3, FS8 and True Black

I would also like to enter this card into the following challenges :-

Thanks for stopping by and thank you so very much for all of your kind comments on my posts, I read and appreciate each and every one.

Hugs 

Natasha xnx

    This little grumpy Fairy reminds me so much of my own Granddaughter who will be four in the summer. She certainly has attitude. hugs Mrs A.
