**Whimsical Fairy Superstar**

Hey everyone! Just a real quick post today.
I played along again with the Diedrich Dare! Wednesdays are such FUN days now seeing the little sketches and challenges Jess' talented kids come up with!
Nicky gave everyone a sketch and he made a doosy! I didnt finish making this card till thursday night...stumped me big time!
here is the sketch...
and here is my card..
I used Spring Fairy digi from The Greeting Farm, colored her with colored pencils. This card ended up in all primary colors!!
Didnt start that way, I usually never use these colors but once I colored the fairy I had to change the dp I had chosen before and get this dp from Marrakech BG line.
For the little astericks in the middle I used ribbon and brads around the image.
The buttons are paper buttons...didnt have the right color so I made them with lemon tart pti cardstock..just punched the circle 4 times and glued them together, punched the 4 holes with my piercing tool then covered with crystal effects.. Really fun way to make your own buttons!!
Stamps Used: Spring Fairy Digi- The Greeting Farm, sentiment-Starstruck-Verve Stamps
Paper Used: Marrakech-BasicGrey, lemon tart, enchanted evening, white-Papertrey ink, riding hood red-SU
ink Used: printer ink
Accessories Used: Colored pencils, 1/2" circle punch, crystal effects-SU, ribbon, brads, paper piercing tool, sakura gelly roll sparkle pen

**Christmas Witch?? MTSC#50**

Seeing by that title you can probably assume my head is a little foggy because of my cold, right??
Well this week and month Beth over at Stamp Insanity Stamps
is sponsoring....
Mercy's tuesday sketch challenge!

I played along with MTSC# 50!
I am a little familiar with that line of stamps if anyone can recall ;D I was glad for a reason to dig this image out of my pile and color Morgan up...as I was coloring my daughter Morgan came along and asked, "is that Morgan, Mom?" She knows all the Morgan stamps I have :) She is always so tickled when she sees a new Morgan set! She will be quite the crafter when she gets older

Anyways I colored Witch Morgan in red and black, I figured she could be flying at any time right?? Its Christmas coming, she could be Santas helper? LOL! So I paired her with Unity november 09 kom sentiment "All you need is faith, trust & pixie dust..." A little paper piercing, ribbon and some red striped paper from Me & my big ideas it was all finished..

Stamps Used: Morgan's Spell-Stamp Insanity Stamps, sentiment-nov 09 KOM-Unity
Paper Used: White, true black, pure poppy-PTI, Dp-Me&My big ideas
Ink Used: black ink, river rock-SU
Accessories Used: Colored pencils, circle nesties, true black PTI ribbon, paper piercer

I hope you like my card!
I am not feeling too mojo-rific today...gotta get back in the groove soon!
