Congratulations ladies....wear your little fairy proudly!
This months sponsor has been Gurlee Girl Designs and Chelsea has generously given the DT her entire line of stamps......thank you so much Chelsea.....we will have so many opportunities to continue to use your fabulous Gurlee Girl stamps in the future.

This weeks sponsor is Sue McMahon from McMahon Five Designs, who has some fabulous items in her store....click on the logo on my sidebar and you will be directed right to her site!My card this week is using Sue's lovely wood papers and one of her gorgeous digi stamp images. I have to admit that I told Sue I was affraid to use her wood paper in case I ruined it!!! Sue came back and told me...."it's only paper!!" I was still a little aprehensive about using it, but realized she was right. I used the Douglas fir and Hickory for my card. Go check her store out because there are so many more beautiful colors to choose from. The digi image I printed out in two different sizes, then colored them both in prismacolor pencils and layered them with pop dots. I just wanted to see what effect it would have!! I changed the sketch a little but think you can still see the general idea of the original one.

card recipe - image, wood papers and prima flower from McMahon Five Designs, gems and gold doily from Micheal's.

Thank you for stopping by and don't forget to check out my DT sisters creations.

Enjoy your day!

Hugs,
Charlotte
