Joy & Wonder...

Hello, hello!

I'm excited to have a card for the Flutter By challenge today. Once I start making Christmas cards there aren't as many opportunities to have a fairy or butterfly on them but I recently found this cute digi stamp from Sugar Nellie so I decided to play along. She is called Elf Made Magic and I think she is too cute for words. While I wish she was an actual rubber stamp I will admit that it was nice to not wait a couple weeks to have her arrive in the mail. :)

This week's challenge is to use the color brown on your card so I searched out the MME Lost & Found paper pad from last year because I love the color combo in it which includes a very dark brown. Of course I colored her up to match and even added a touch of gold to the mix for good measure. I also stamped in a little village scene to help ground her in the foreground. Perfect Pearls substituted for a gentle snowfall and I finished off the card design with some strips of paper that I trimmed into pennants and an old epoxy brad from my stash. 

Well I guess I should go do the hair and makeup thing before heading off to work. 
TTFN!
