flower fairy in water colour

P1030948

good morning all 

i don’t know what’s happened to the weather but it feels a lot warmer today  the snow is melting

not complaining at all….. about time…. anyway my card for today is a little flower fairy and the epiphany

i water coloured her in with water colour paints then added some  glitter to her wings  with a touch of spray and shine to protect the painting and give it a soft sheen.

matted onto silver mirri and core-dination onto a white card blank with some satin ribbon and a few flowers the epiphany heart was then used for the heart cut from core-dination card stock to match
