Whimsy Stamps Challenge–Fancy Edges

Good morning everyone and hope that you’re keeping well. Today I’d like to share with you a card that I’ve made for the Whimsy Challenge.

For my card I’ve used the gorgeous Young Spring Fairy illustrated by Crissy Armstrong for Whimsy Stamps and I’ve coloured her using promarkers, flexmarkers and aquamarker pens.

The DP is called ‘In The Garden’ which has been designed by me for Whimsy Stamps and I’ve distressed the edges and then inked them up using Brushed Corduroy.

Some flowers are handmade and the small rosebuds are from Wild Orchid Crafts and everything else is from my stash.
