Sitting Pretty

Seeing so many Spring themed challenges around at the moment I was really inspired to play along and make something myself as well... and so after having a look at the stamps I had, I thought this adorable Sitting Pretty stamp from Prairie Fairy, was just perfect for what I had in mind. 

I decided on a simple layout today, some softly coloured papers, a sentiment from Crafty Sentiments and then added lots of gorgeous embellishments ..... 

Not usual for me to add so many stuff on my cards, I do like to make simpler cards, but I thought they looked nice all together....

and I even added some glitter on her wings as well... can't have a fairy without glitter I thought.

So my challenges now...

    Such pretty ribbon and stick pins, then those sweet butterflies and the colours really make you feel Summer is coming.
