I bought this Lilli of the Valley stamp at the NEC and for some strange reason (could it be I have too many stamps) this is the first time I've used it. I just love this delicate fairy and the way she is leaning forward to smell the flowers. My original thought was to combine her with a quote stamp I have about taking time to smell the flowers, but on this occasion she's been used for a very pink girlie birthday card requested by my daughter Laura to send one of her friends.
I coloured her with Promarkers and used Stickles spread very thinly on her wings and skirt to add a touch of magic without too much glitter everywhere. I haven't used my Stickles for ages (a long, long time) and I think it says a lot for the product when the stuff was still easily usuable. No pushing pins in or anything like that. Brilliant.
The pink base card is from my stash and the patterned papers are from a Papermania collection that I bought some years ago and I found hiding in the back of a cupboard during my big clearout session. There is a lot to be said for this tidying up business!
My card is for the challenges at...
- Cutie Sunday - great sketch
- Promarker Challenge - Pink Birthday (my daughter would ask are there any other kind of birthday's)
- Tuesday Taggers - all that blooms

I've seen this beautiful fairy on a lot of blogs recently and have to say she is adorablly sweet - might be tempted to splash out as I think she would definitely be a favourite.
Your card is really lovely and seeing those papers reminds me that I have that pack stashed away somewhere too ... hmmmm do you wanna' come and help me find it?

What a lovely card Ann. So dainty but a lot of work done with the colouring which, as always, is perfect. I have been having a turn out and didn't realise what a lot of rubbish I have. I too have stamps which I bought in the heat of the moment and not used them. One day........
