Dia daoibh!
June has arrived and I am pretending I am not already halfway through the year. How did that happen? One minute it was January and I was full of good intentions, the next minute I am surrounded by glitter and wondering where the time went. Honestly, if I could bottle June energy, I would. Everything feels a little lighter, a little brighter, and just slightly more magical.
Which brings me perfectly to HQFCB Challenge #6. As always, the theme is Anything Fantasy Goes, which is basically my cue to reach for wings, sparkle and a generous sprinkle of imagination. The Design Team creations this month are absolutely fabulous. So many different takes on fantasy, from sweet and whimsical to bold and enchanting. You will definitely want to have a scroll.
For my card, I chose Stamping Bella's Edna fairy blowing kisses. I mean, look at her. She is pure mischief and magic in one tiny pose. I coloured her with Promarkers and the wings got a generous layer of sparkle because fairy wings without glitter just feel wrong. I kept the layout CAS with lots of white space to let her shine. A little patterned detail along the bottom adds a pop of colour. I scattered a few gems around her to echo those floating hearts and add just the right amount of twinkle.

Now if only I could blow a handful of glittery hearts at my to do list and make it disappear. A girl can dream.

Great Fantasy card love the gorgeous Edna and her sparkly wings-great hair colour, the strip of colourful paper goes perfectly.

Hi Wendy, the card is beautiful. The image is cute and adorable. The Stamping Bella stamps are beautiful, and you colored it flawlessly. The simple, clean style makes the stamp the real star. Thanks for joining The Crafting Challenge! Tatiana x DT
