Today's card is done as a celebration of one's self. It could be for a birthday (that's how I'm going to use it), or for any day that is special for someone. The fairy silhouette with the rose is by Floppy Latte Designs and I just love it!
I chose the silhouette for several reasons, but one was because Quirky Crafts has 'using a silhouette' as their challenge theme this week. I used a glitter gel pen to sparkle up the wings of the fairy but no other coloring was needed. She's done on parchment, and then cut with QuicKutz and Spellbinders dies, as is the second circle. The polka dot ribbon (Really Reasonable Ribbon) was wrapped around the dp (SU), and I then tied a bow with ruffled white ribbon (also RRR.) The pearls in the corner were the last embellishment. Critter Sketch wants us to use 3 embellishments on our projects so mine are the ribbon, the bow, and the pearls. I kept it pretty CAS because I didn't want to distract from the fairy or the sentiment.

woooooo! I LOVE that image! Wow! PC, your sentiment about celebrating oneself is so right on! We often forget how intensely unique and awesome we each are. If more people could truly know that, they would be able to make others feel that way, too! Wonderful card, sweet friend!
