"Spring Fairy"

Good Morning To All! The card creation that I have to share with you today is for the NEW Challenge #21 at Paper Creations Ink! The theme is "Things With Wings"... We at Paper Creations Ink decided that it would be nice to work with more images that make us think of Spring and/or it could also have a bit of a twist like magical fairy tales! I am so excited to announce that our sponsor for this challenge is Stamp And Create! Lacey, owner of Stamp And Create has so graciously offered up a $20.00 Gift Certificate for the prize to one lucky person! How cool is that? She allowed us to create with some of her images...
