Hello lovely people,
All the lovely sunshine we have had in my little corner of the UK has really been lifting my spirits so I hope you have all seen some of it too.
I have almost finished tidying the garden, my tomato and chilli seeds are sprouting up, and the garlic is just peeping through; such exciting times :-)

In my crafting world though it's time for a new challenge at In The Pink and our theme this time is...
MAKE IT SPARKLE
We are delighted to have The Ribbon Girl sponsoring us again for this challenge with a £10 voucher :-)
As soon as you say 'sparkle' to me I think of fairies so that's what I've done!
If you're searching for the sparkle, I added Stickles to all those little spots on my DP - that took a while! But it does look pretty, even if the camera was not good at picking it up!
There's also sparkle for the fairy dust and along the edge of the wing.

I guess the star charm counts as sparkly too and I've used one of my favourite tricks of tying twine around a satin ribbon.
I finished this quite simply with a few flowers - I didn't want to overshadow the sweet fairy image.

Challenges I am entering;
