Ever have those days when a card just WON'T come together? I've spent nearly all day on this, tried I don't know how many sketches but couldn't get any of them to work. So after chopping up far too many sheets of paper, I gave up on the sketches and made it up as I went along.
My mum asked me for a 30th birthday card for a friend of hers, hopefully this will be ok. I've used this pretty fairy from LOTV for the first time. She's coloured with promarkers and koh-i-noor pencils, with lots of glamour dust for her wings. The papers are from a Papermania 12x12 capsule collection that I bought yesterday at Busy Bees - I only called in for glue and to sort out some details for a couple of demos I've got coming up!
Oops back to my card... umm yep, papers, flowers and brads are Papermania, cardstock is Papermill. Sentiment from a set - possibly Kraftin Kimmie. '30' cut on the Cricut, and can't remember the name of the butterfly die (not doing very well am I?), pearls from stash.
I'm entering my card for the following challenges:
- LOTV - circles
- A Spoon Full of Sugar - birthday wishes
- Flutterby Wednesday - anything goes (+ fairy, butterfly or angel)
- Paper Pretties - glittery
- Crafts 4 Eternity - easel cards
- Crazy 4 Challenges - flowers
- Sweet Stampin' - oh so girly
- CES Challenges - flowers & flutterby's

I have too many of those days for my liking; end up all stressed and miserable. Who said this was a relaxing hobby?! This is just gorgeous Lisa! Don't know what you were intending but it was well worth all the effort. xx

I often have crafting sessions like that - whatever you do, it never looks right!! But your card is gorgeous - colours I wouldn't normally use but they look perfect for this.

Yes, Lisa, I've definitely had MANY times when my cards won't come together, LOL! In fact, it took me four days to finish my mom and dad's Valentine's Day card!! Yes, FOUR DAYS!!! LOL!!! Crazy, huh?
Anyway, YOUR card came out beautifully, regardless of how long it took to get there! I LOVE it!! That image is gorgeous!!
Thanks so much!!
