A card for a few challenges

 I have finally got back into my craft room after several days away from it.  I made this card for several challenges ...
Wags n Whiskers - Happy Birthday
Totally papercrafts - Happy Birthday
Passion for Promarkers - Make your own flowers
Basic Grey Challenges - sketch
Pocketful of Posies - Lavendar and lace
Wild Orchid Crafts - ribbons and bows
Allsorts - at least 3 different punches
A Spoonfull of Sugar - Anything Goes
 I coloured this gorgeous Wags n Whiskers fairies in using my Promarkers (Orchid, Amyethst, skin and hair tones) and 1 copic V000 - sorry but I wanted a really pale colour ... hope this is allowed. The wings are glamour dusted and I added stickles to the wings and edge of the image. I used raffia lace and some organza ribbon over it, and my martha Steart punch to make the scalloped detail.  I made the flowers using 2 reto flower punches and a daisy puch ... I don't layer my punched flowers like this usually ... too fussy for me .. .but I thought I would try something different.

I'll be back later with another Chloe from this week's InStyle Stamps release over on their blog... its another little cutie.

Recipe: 
Stamp(s): Wags n Whiskers Nikhola
Colouring Media: Promarkers + 1 copic V000
Papers: Basic Grey Koishi
Embellishments: from stash
