Good afternoon everyone and welcome to my GDT post for the Through The Purple Haze Challenge. I was invited to join the rest of the DT as this month's GDT when I won a challenge a couple of months back. This month's challenge is an Anything Goes challenge and the sponsor is Moondrea Designs (formerly known as Moonflower).

For my card I used the gorgeous Lilly Love Fairy and went for a pinks and green combo. I love how she came out! This one is another one for a work colleague as we have a birthday the day after I go back after my Spring holidays finish next week.

All Things Magical and Mythical #120 Featuring Rainbow Fairy from Sweet November Stamps

Good morning and welcome to this week's All Things Magical and Mythical post. For today's card I have used the latest freebie digi stamp from Sweet November Stamps, which was in last month's newsletter. She's adorable and I went with traditionally bright rainbow colours for her with a touch of black as well.

As she was so bright, I thought I would go for a pastel rainbow colour combo, but I'm not totally convinced it works to be honest! Oh well!

Good morning and welcome to this week's All Things Magical and Mythical post. I fancied colouring up some fairies for this week's card and these cuties were my newest fairies purchase which I hadn't used. 

I wasn't quite sure what to do with them once I had cut them out, but added lots of layers to my card in pretty papers as per my usual card style and then added some gems and die cut hearts, which I painted with clear sparkler pen, although this doesn't show up in the photo very well at all.
