Hello all, and welcome! This week at SHOPPING OUR STASH, we challenge you to use fairies or angels on your card or project. Since I have a slew of fairy images, that's what I went with:
here is the inside:
I've had this digi for a while, but it's the first I've colored her. I had everything colored except her dress, and was trying to decide what color to go with. Either red or green would be too overpowering, I thought. I considered gold. Then my hubby came into my craft room and suggested sapphire. (face palm) Sometimes the hubby is sooooo brilliant! LOL! Here's a close up, showing the Stickles on the wings, the flower centers, and the berries on the arm band.
Thanks for visiting, and I hope you have a great day!
