Special Friend


It is my turn to host the challenge this week at Crafty Ribbons and I chose fairies. One of my favourites for cards. This is an 8x8 card I was asked to make for a friend to give to a very special lady. This lady loves vintage, fairies, angels and flowers and amongst my stash I found this topper from Crafter's Companion. It was perfect for the card I had in mind and apparently she loved the card so much it made her cry.
