Christmas Fairy

This is my second post today, the earlier one being my explanation

for my long absence from blogging.

There are less than 100 days until Christmas, so I hope you have all

made a start on your Christmas cards. If not, why not join us each week

for our challenges at Winter Wonderland. That way you can get a 

'head-start' on your festive cards. This week, our theme is

'A CHRISTMAS FAIRY'

and our lovely sponsor this week is 

I have quite a few Christmas Angel stamps, but no Christmas Fairy

stamps, so hope this fairy looks as if she has made a special 

effort to dress for a visit at Christmas.

The lovely paper was in a large stack of Christmas paper that I bought

so many years ago, I have forgotten where, or what brand it is. To 'dress

it up' a bit, I put a dot of Stickles Star Dust in the centre of each snowflake.

I cut out the sentiment by hand, and to hide my 'wonky' cutting, I  

added a narrow border of Stickles around the edge.

I also added lots of Stickles to my fairy's dress, wand and wings, but

as is the usual case, it does not show up in the photos. My lovely fairy

is from a set of children's stamps I bought many years ago.

Inside my card is quite simple. That beautiful 'lace' border was created

with a Martha Stewart punch I had forgotten I had. I must use it

more often, as it is so pretty. I thought it matched the edge 

of my fairy's dress quite well.
