You make me smile

Ahhhh... say hello to the weekend with me. Doesn't that feel good? ;)

So I was blog surfing the other day and came across some super cute fairy images that I just had to track down. My search finally led me to Deb's Creations, the home of the Emerald Faerie Garden. By now you've probably figured out that I'm quite partial to the wee fairy folk so it is no surprise that some of these cuties absolutely stole my heart. Now normally I would have gone for the rubber stamp versions but seeing as how these little guys would have to fly all the way from Australia I knew that I was just too impatient for that. It's times like this when I really appreciate having the digi option for instant gratification.

The first one to flitter onto one of my cards is Ebony. She actually comes hugging the stem of a large mushroom but I thought that by simply fussy cutting her out she could look like she is sitting on the ribbon, shyly smiling as the butterflies tickle her ears. I paired her with the Basic Grey Hello Luscious papers because they looked like a whimsical garden to me. And all of those colors in it were fun to try and match with my Copics when coloring Ebony up.
I'm also entering my card into this week's Flutter By challenge which is an open one. I'm sure that Ebony will be able to make a friend or two while hanging out there. ;)

Alrighty, I'll catch ya later my stampin' sistahs! :)
