Blossom and Fairy...

Hello Everyone...

Hope you are enjoying your weekend - the sun is out and it looks gorgeous outside... I've been sat inside making my sparkly fairy card this morning and I'm so pleased with how my card has turned out.  I really do wish you could see exactly how glittery my card is in the sunshine. 

The 3D Flower Blossom has been layered using foam pads and has been mounted on to the spirelli shape which has sparkly silver cotton wound around it.  

The die cut fairy has even more glitter on her - I've glittered her wings, dress and bouquet of flowers.

As you probably will have guessed  by now - yes I'm going to use the word 'glitter' again; as both the card and paper is also glitter bonded AND not forgetting.... yet more added glitter to the corner peel-off.   I used a Flower gem and round gems just to finish the card off.

I am going to enter my glittery card into the following challenges:

Inspirational Card Sketch No108 - My take on their sketch. 
Charisma challenge No13 - Bling and Sparkle
Pixie Dust Studio No68 - Fluttering Wings
Paper Cutz No85 - Easter 
Polka Doodles No13 - No printed backing papers
All Sorts No97 - Blooming Blossoms

Right... I'm off outside to enjoy the sunshine and mow my front garden - I'm sure there are wild animals hiding in that long grass(LOL) !!!

Thanks very much for looking at my card
and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Love Diane xx
