Flourishes Sneaks Day 2: Garden Fairies!

Dappled summer light and pretty flowers, don't you sometimes wonder what sweet little creatures might be visiting your flower garden?  Today we have a precious set to show you that might just have you believing in fairies!
  GardenFairiesGrahpic 

Add a dash of whimsy with these sweet little ladies who love to flutter and fly through the garden. This set, penned by Lauren Pope offers two main fairy images and five beautifully scripted sentiments to lift spirits and bring smiles! Set measures 4 by 6".

On to my creation!

I just saw something light and sparkly with this little lady. And I found it with fun pops of purple, glitter glue and the same border I used on yesterday's card from the Far and Away Border Strips pack! I stamped my little garden fairy using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto Flourishes Classic White and then... colored her up with my Copic Markers! See the list below for all the color collections that I used! After I was done, I grabbed some scraps from my decorative paper bin, added some lace, the glitter border and a fun crystal button threaded with gold cording. The sentiment was added onto a punched oval and decked out with some gold bling. 

Here's a close up so you can SEE all that sparkle! ;-) She's so sweet I might just get a cavity from looking at her! 

And that, my friends is it! The Flourishes girls have some sweet and dreamy things to show you today so head on over to visit them and don't forget that you have to figure out.....
