look out for a fairy with a head under her arm...

Good morning everyone I hope you all had a beautiful day yesterday like we did, wall to wall sunshine but the rain returned last night...I went out with my Daughter yesterday for a little mooch around the shops (Thursday is her day off) and I needed to get a few more things for my Nieces invitations I'm making, I don't know if it was the sunshine or being on handbag duty in the changing rooms (how come I always end up buying my Daughter something to wear? lol) but I managed to forget everything I went for...my head was definitely away with the fairies (aaaaahhhhhh that's what the title means I hear you all cry lol)...oh well it gives me an excuse to go to the shops again doesn't it...we all went out to dinner to Portstewart which is a seaside town on the coast here, we used to live there years ago and the meal was amazing I had Teriyaki Salmon on a bed of noodles with soy, honey, coriander and lime dressing it was yummy...will have to go there again...so all in all a busy day...ooohhhhh and you will never guess what happened, the estate agent rang up to cancel our viewing, its already gone... aarrggghhh...maybe we should stop looking so hard and it will just come to us what do you think?...right now onto my card for today, I think my mojo is creeping back as I really enjoyed colouring this stunningly beautiful image from Saturated Canary shes gorgeous isn't she, shes called Springtime and I coloured her a little differently than normal, I shaded the background in Pumice Stone distress inks, just adding shading here and there and a bit of colour on the flowers, what do you think? do you like it like that?...I coloured the rest of her with distress inks too...the lush papers are from the Prima 6x6" Paper Pad - Fairy Belle from Bunny Zoe's Crafts but I think its out of stock atm, I finished with an amazing dragonfly charm I bought from a local shop, I added some pearls to the body...the fab sketch is from The Sweet Stop and I'm also entering it for the Crafty Sentiments Designs challenge and By The Cute and Girly challenge too...I'm having a colouring day today as I need to get a bit ahead with work to make time to make the loads and loads of invitations, order of service and menus I said I would make...whatever your up to today have a sunny one
