Life is a fairytale

    I'd give anything to draw a good stick figure.  Tammy doesn't have that problem does she.  LOL  This week's release from A Day For Daisies is a group of beautiful ladies with birdies decorating their hair.  This image is called "Braid In My Hair" and can be found with the others in the ADFD store.
     I did the image in Distress inks first, but thought the colors needed to be bolder with the papers I'd chosen.  So I brought out the Copics and used the Distress inks on everything else.  LOL  I used lots of foam too. The musical mat, black and oval die cut panel, and the image are all popped up on foam.  Guess you can tell I had fun making those roses on yesterday's card too.  I just had to add some more to this one.  :-)  The sentiment is from Create with TLC.
    This release marks the start of a new challenge at the ADFD blog and our challenge is to add a feather or two.  I've got three little fluffy ones tucked in behind my flowers.  We'd love to have you come play along.
     I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
