And Petals
And Pink!

Sentiment - Design Originals
Border Punch - Martha Stewart
Pearls - Martha Stewart
Pearls and Rhinestones _ Queen and Co

Box template - My own design



Here you can see the "Pearls and Swirls"



This fairy is so gorgeous and once I'd colored her I added Stickles to give her true Fairy Finesse!
I'd seen Gable Boxes on other peoples blogs but couldn't find a scoring template so I designed my own. There were Cut files for the Cricut, Printable templates but none with just the "plans" and it took 3 attempts and lots of stamping of feet to get the right measurements but I wasn't giving up! LOL
I hope you like my project and I'd love you to check out the challenge at Cooking It Up With Katie and join in!
