Fairies or butterflies with Sparkles Monthly Challenges

Hi everyone, there's a new challenge over at Sparkles Monthly Challenges. This month we'd love to see your projects featuring 'Fairies and/or butterflies'. Here's my little piece of inspiration...

The image is one of the 'Wee Stamps' range by Whimsy Stamps and came free with papercraft essentials magazine some time ago. This is the first time I've used her but I'm sure it won't be the last. Here's a close-up of the image...

I've coloured her with Copics and added glitter to the wings. The image plate has been cut with a Spellbinder circle and mounted onto a Spellbinder Picot edged circle in pink glitter card. I've added hot fix pearls to the outer circle. The whole thing has then been mounted on a doily. The backing paper is by First Edition (Spring Feast 8x8 pad) and has been matted on pink glitter card. The Spellbinders and the backing papers came from The Hobby House, a fab craft shop, well worth a visit either online or in person.

The sentiment ticket came with the stamp and I've cut it out using a Whimsy ticket die (also from Hobby House). I cut an extra ticket from pink glitter card and added some hotfix pearls and a scrap of ribbon.

To finish off I've added some pink ribbon across the centre of the card, tied a bow with my bow maker and added a Cheery Lynn butterfly. I'm really pleased with how this turned out, hope you like it too. Please pop over to the challenge and have a look at the awesome inspiration from my team mates. Join us and you could win a prize from our sponsor for this month...
