LOTV - Little Fairy

Evening all! I hope you are all doing well......... Today I have been working on my DT work for Heartfelt Creations, but Mr Mojo is really not playing the game this last few day:( I have however made a scrapbook layout.... ( you will get to peek at this next week) not really sure about it but hey we are all a loud our off days, aren't we!
So anyway I decided today that I would have a little clear out in my craft room........ isn't it surprising how much we hoard, even when we know we will probably never use it:(  I have this terrible habit of keeping every single scrap of paper left over from my projects and end up with boxes and drawers of little bit's of paper that I will probably never use.... so now ALLL GONE!. I now have a clean and tidy craft room!
So anyway today I would like to share with you a little card I made a few days ago........ I was going for a clean and elegant look..... but me being me had to add a few more flowers and pearls, oh and lace....... and then a bow! but thats me I suppose, however I am quite pleased with the way it turned out, I hope you like it too:)


  • The base card is 5"x7" and is made using Spellbinder die - Enchanted Labels 28 as is the tag.
  • The sentiment I think came with a freebie set from a magazine many moons ago.
  • The image is a fairy from LOTV sketch pad set 6 - Fairies and I have coloured her in using copics.
  • Papers - Nitwits Collection: Country Lady
  • Other Spellbinder dies that I used  - Labels 28, A2 matting Basics B
  • Flowers - The Hobby House
  • Lace, pearls and ribbon - my stash
  • The diamante star  - Mei Flower
If you would like to know how to make a base card from this type of die then Becca over at
Amazing Paper Grace has a wonderful video tutorial ........ her cards and projects are absolutely adorable!
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

  5. An adorable little fairy. I have trouble leaving things "simple", too. Your artwork is so beautiful, you could surely do that, Nikki, but isn't it fun adorning the cards with all sorts of things in our stash? Love what you have done here, inside and out. It will be fun seeing your scrapbook page next week. hugs, de
