Exciting news!
The One,
.... The ONLY,
Scrapbook Stamp Society,
home of the most adorable digi images, rubber stamps, and a fabulous array of products and crafting goodies.
With March's crazy weather, it is only natural for Mitzi's sweet little Christmas Fairy to be confused.
After all... is it Spring or is it Christmasy cold?
I haven't figured it out myself even down here in warm, snuggly Florida, where we have had two nights of freezing temperatures! (What's with that?)
Mitzi has 40 other wonderfully imaginative images which may be used in a number of ways. Just click here to see more of her amazing artwork.
I think her name needs to be changed from Christmas Fairy to Joyful Song. What a sweetie she is.
I really had fun coloring this whimsical little creature, especially with the natural shading in her wings. (thanks for all your pointers left in a previous post regarding Copic Markers).
The snowflakes are frosty with the sparkly flocking, too. The sparkly flocking is from Sparkle N Sprinkle.
(thank you for your well wishes. I am slowly recovering and am just about caught up visiting everyone's blogs).

Absolutely gorgeous creation! You certainly know how to showcase a gorgeous image. Your colouring, design and attention to details are very obvious. Love the sparkle flocking trim and what would a fairy be without glitter following her everywhere. Thanks for sharing with us at TTCRD.
