Emerald Faerie

hi friends, today i wanted to share this amazing image from Emerald Faeries, i received a couple of these images in a swap a couple of weeks ago and thought i just have to use this, are they not darling?
Then while chatting to a friend of mine she reminded me that they are having a challenge on Emerald faeries challenge blog where their challenge is for "petals", and i am sure by now you all now how much i love my flowers, so i just had to do something with this image.  I colored the image with my copics and added lots of stardust stickles to the wings.  Added a few teeny tiny pearls around the image so it would look as if there was a bit of pollen flying around and the magic of spring.  I used one of my nestie labels to cut my image and a MS border punch to add another layer for my ribbon to go across.

Added some corsage pins to the bow and a "few" flowers.  With another one of my pearly flourishes along the side of my card.
I decorated the inside of my card as well which i just think finishes off a card nicely.
Hope everyone is having a fab weekend
