Not square!

Hello lovely people,

Merry Thursday to you all and here we go with a new challenge at Crafty Little Fairies where the theme is...

THINGS WITH WINGS

It's another double sponsor week with prizes from...

with a surprise goody bag

AND

with this lovely prize;

Now, if you are wondering about my post title, it's because I have gone for an A5 shape card, which I almost never do.  I was having one of those days where I thought I would deliberately push myself out of my comfort zone and I ended up being really happy with the layout :-)
And to be fair, the rest of the stuff on this card is well and truly in my comfort zone; the Maja DP, stitching, tags and ribbon/twine combo!


It was lovely to use this Saturated Canary image again and I do think she suits unusual coloured hair!  And a little sparkle for the fairy dust of course :-)


Card recipe;
Image: Tilly - Saturated Canary (rubber stamp)
DP: Vintage Spring Basics - Maja Designs
Seam binding / button twine: The Ribbon Girl
Dies: Precious stars - Memory Box

Thanks for visiting and I really appreciate any comments that you leave,

Hugs,
