An Early Christmas Gift!...

Good evening friends, 
Happy Friday...

Today's card is the beautiful fairy

There is still a whole day and a bit left to visit Lili of the Valley and enjoy the fabulous offers on selected stamps, paper pads and art pads.

Plus there is a super fun challenge running on Lili of Valley's Facebook page
I have decided I am just a teensy bit in love with colouring on Kraft!  Somehow it makes Christmas cards in October totally bearable!

I have coloured this lovely Christmas fairy with Copics and opted for a sort of simple layout with polka dot frame.

I have used Lili of the Valley's wonderful Christmas sentiment set 
Grunge Christmas Postmarks and some die cut snowflakes.

There is some Wink of Stella on her wings and fur trim but unfortunately the camera has n't picked that up.

...and here we are, a beautiful fairy bringing a Christmas Gift early... (a bit like those wonderful folk at LOTV who currently have such fabulous offers for us all)!

    So beautiful, love the kraft, I always find shading so much harder on kraft. I make Christmas cards all year round love them and when they are as gorgeous as this I love seeing them.

    Absolutely stunning Kraft colouring Sue... it really gives such a fabulous vintage look! Not seen this image before - but you've made a perfect job of it - including the postcard stamps etc! Love the red dotty frame too!

    I love your colouring on Kraft; it looks so vibrant and beautiful :-) The polka dot frame, cute stamped postmarks and all those fabulous sparkly snowflakes set the image off perfectly and all in such lovely traditional colours :-)

    Big hugs, Kat xx
