So Special - Wee Stamps Silver Fairy

Last week I was one of the random winners at Stamp Something and my prize was my choice of 3 digital stamps from Wee Stamps!. This was a super prize for me as I've been a fan for ages, in fact one of the reasons I applied to be on the challenge team at Cuddly Buddly was because they also stock the images and I wanted an opportunity to work with those sweet stamps!
Today's card features one of those images and I really love her, so lovely to color and very soft and gentle in her features.

Challenges:
Totally Stampalicious - Anything Goes
Bearly Mine - Anything Goes

I got the idea to make the mini banner from the book Delight in the Detailsand I love how it turned out. What's unusual is that when I got the book (I've had a few months now) I found out that the author, Lisa Pace, lives in the next town over from me, how funny is that? I must try and find her and drool at her lovely studio :)
Anyway, enough about my stalking (just kidding), I hope you like this and if you want some luscious eye candy I'd definitely recommend the book to add to your crafting library.

Sentiment Stickers - K and Co

I've had the giant clothespin for years, they were very popular "back in the day" and I still like them for a quirky piece of home decor.
The flowers are a mixture of punches, die cuts and rosette flowers (with punched edges for a much more frilly look).
I took the pin apart and painted it first and then added the paper on top. The flowers are on stems made of cardstock and then "arranged" and glued on to a piece of chipboard then fits just inside the closed part of the pin. This makes it so much easier to display as they flowers don't fall out of the bunch!
Anyway I hope you had a wonderful Valentines Day yesterday, keep the love in your heart!
And take a break for the norm and make something other than a card for us over at A Spoon Full Of Sugar
