Welcome to our Blog Hop, the Magical Life of Fairies. What little girl doesn’t dream of carrying a fairy in her pocket? They are so tiny and beautiful. They have beautiful wings and long pretty hair. This is what comes to mind when I think of fairies. Today, we have a lot of talented women that want to show off their beautiful fairies, that they created. So please join the party and fly around with us!!!

If you came from Nancy's blog then you are flying where you are supposed to go.

I had thought of the idea of making a home decor project with fairy tale figures a fewP weeks ago and thought this waste perfect opportunity to try it out. I made a frame (#4) from the Fancy Frames Cricut cart. I also made the second layer from #2 to stabilize it a bit more. Then, I cut parts of the pixie from Dress Up Paper Dolls giving her a bit of sparkle on her dress with WOW chunky glitter that I won from Craft Warehouse and added a flower in her hair. Her wings are the shift layer of the first butterfly on the Rock Princess cart. The sunset in the background is from the Country Life cart. I used a VersaMarker to add highlights in her hair and a few shadows. I colored her cheeks with Stampin' Up pastels.

Now I must send you to the next stop on our hop. Please fly to the talented Amber at http://pixiperfectcreations.blogspot.com
Thanks for stopping by and remember to win the blog candy you must visit each blog and leave a comment.
