Lilac fairy card

This card was so quick and easy to make. I used a square Brown card which I made from Bazzill card and pricked round the edges. I looked for a pretty patterned paper that would compliment my fairy and found just the sheet I needed in a Colossal Paper Pack called Simply Elegant by Papermania. I covered my card with the sheet leaving a small edge all the way round so the pricking on my card would show. I cut a nestability scalloped oval and fixed my Fairy to the centre. I glued this to the centre of the card. I thought the pattern on the sheet looked a bit like stalks on Flowers so I fixed some White and Cream flowers at the ends of the "stalks" with Brown brads. I punched out a few Butterflies and arranged them around the top of the card. I loved the effect when the card was finished. I hope you like it.
