Today's story 
revolves around the fairy who is picking up the pieces of a bloomed out flower. Like we all do, she is dreaming of the new beginnings at the same time that "things" appear to be falling apart.
It's a simple card using Love as the catalyst.
This Love is represented by our heart-felt endeavors.
Green represents the promise of new growth.
White Glittered paper holds the recessed delicate heart frame. Bright Meadow Green Glitter is on the scallop heart frame. The Fairytale LAV389 image is stamped with Verdant VersaFine Clair and heat set with clear EP. Every Dream LAV573 was stamped with Rain Forest Versafine Clair and heat set with clear EP that has glitter in it:
Dimension and Embossing Powder - clear EP on the fairy, and clear EP that has glitter on the words. The Green glittered frame around the outside of the card is popped up with a die cut green fun foam piece:
Glittery Wings pick up the colors in the journal-style sentiments:

ReplyDeleteI have to tell you that I really enjoy reading about your "fairy stories" as they make me smile and ponder a bit! Your elegant glitter heart is just perfect along with that gorgeous white glitter frame too!! I think I would have a hard time choosing one of those awesome dies you must have in your collection! LOL! Love your representation of the green color too! Sending lots of hugs your way along with MOJO hugs! :)

Donna I love the fairy's beautiful wings! They are so special on your gorgeous glittery card! It is truly a magical card!
ReplyDeleteUmmm, I wouldn't want to disagree with Jack, that loving hubby of yours, but I think he's wrong in his opinion of this card. I love the gorgeous sparkle and the die cuts, especially the large heart! The sentiment is perfect and the doily frame with the little hearts is so elegant. Love the fairy's wings. :-D
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, I like the glittery greenheart and background and the glittery white doily -fabulous embellishment's!
ReplyDeleteThis card is so magical looking with all the sparkle and that pretty fairy. I love the colors used for it too. And, I had to chuckle at your explanation about how the name of your blog came about. I think we all have those little blunders happen. And, the header of your blog is just awesome.
ReplyDeleteLove all the glitter goodness! Terrific sentiment, great way to give someone encouragement! I love how the outside framing looks like plush green grass!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is gorgeous and so lovely in the green. Congratulations on your win on the card below. Well deserved. Hugs Mrs A.

Well done as usual, dear friend.
ReplyDeleteWhen I need a little or a lot of sparkle, shimmer, and shine I know where to go! Your blog with this card just lights up this dark afternoon and reminds me how pretty it's going to be in the garden come springtime. Ha! I read your comment about how Jack says this is your ugliest card ever. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Thanks for all you do, Donna!
ReplyDeleteI believe you can glitter anything, Donna. Especially along with the power of ep! Your love of loose glitter is admirable and enviable. A lot of practice is there, I have to know. It's probably your Superpower of Craftiness. This card with its green-ness is so life-giving, so energetic yet peaceful. Again, perfect choices! xoxo
ReplyDeleteLove your card Donna, beautiful green theme! perfect sparkle and colours.
ReplyDeleteHugs Pam x
Beautiful card and embossed image,love all your dies and sparkle
