Wags n Whiskers #168: Faeries

Good morning stamping friends!  I have so many posts today! Keep on scrolling if you're looking for all the "new" stuff.

For THIS post, I have a card to share with you today from Wags 'n Whiskers. The new challenge is up and it's #168: Faeries. Well WnW has lots of beautiful faeries, so that makes this challenge a snap! I turned this one into a CHRISTMAS FAERY! Do you see the poinsettias in her hair?? Love it!

I'm sad to say that this is my last post for the Wags 'n Whiskers DT. I've loved my time with Lacey and Nikki and having the privilege to play with all of their beautiful stamps and images. With the end of the term, and the end of the year, I decided it would be a good time to step back and have a bit of a break. Wags n Whiskers was my first DT position after I came "back" to stamping this winter/spring after all of our injuries, surgeries, moving, and construction projects around here. It's been quite a crazy couple of years for our family, but it's wonderful to feel settled and healthy and be going into the rest of the holiday season having those contented feelings with us! Thank you again to Lacey and Nikki, I'm sure you'll see me around the WnW challenge blog, and hopefully all my awesome readers will be joining us as well!

For this beauty, I am playing along with Catch the Bug (Bugaboo Stamps) Christmas Chaos. This card features the bingo from Day 7. My bingo is Snowflakes, Silver, and Bling, right across the top. I'm not sure I could have squeezed any more bling onto this card if I tried!? hehe. That's glittery paper, Dazzling Diamonds glitter on the wings and skirt (added qith Quickie Glue Pen), glittery brad on the snowflake, and glitter tape on the side panel. I also used the sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2-77.
