Cute Card Thursday ~ Fairy Fantastic

The theme this week is
Fairy Fantastic
I don't know why but I am not a huge fan of fairies and discovered that I had nothing suitable in my vast stamp stash! As soon as I spotted this over at Mo's digital pencil I knew I had to use it for this challenge!
The sweet little sentiment stamp is one from the Whimsy Stamps Sentiments Collection Whimsy Circle Postmarks.


I used Basic Grey Bittersweet Designer Paper and the punches are Martha Stewart, flowers all primas.
the other challenges I am entering this card into are
Allsorts ~ brown and pink
Papertake weekly ~ pretty pink
Simon says ~ punch it
Thanks for dropping in, have a great day!
