Poppy Fairy

Hello Blogging friends, today's card is for a special challenge. It's for  Brenda's challenge that she has going on her blog Floral Fantasies.  It's to celebrate her Blogversary and her 4,000 followers, and wow the prizes are fantastic.



I know that Brenda loves Poppies and Fairies, so here I was able to combine both with this Flower fairies stamp.  Also the Poppies and butterflies are inspired by her header on her blog. I kept it quite simple as the butterflies that are die cut down the side of the card added embellishment already. I edged the butterflies with stickles and for the thorax I used gems.  There's more stickles on the fairy's wings but it isn't showing very well.  You can find the challenge here....... and tons of inspiration!!!!!!

This is my son Bobby dressed up for RED NOSE day, he had to go as some kind of Hero, he chose Soldier, But he's my little Hero however he's dressed, there has been allsorts going on to celebrate today at school. And we've been getting texts up-dating us on how much they are raising at school. They are doing really well.  They raised £203.50 on wet sponge throwing, that could be because they were throwing the sponges at teachers.  I'm just going over to the cake sale they are having now.
So see you later, I will be back tomorrow with my Allsorts challenge post.
