Napping Fairy


     Hello all!  Hope you've been having a great week.  Today starts a new challenge at Mo's Digital Pencil.  This one was chosen by my DT Sistah Anja and she wants to see something new on your cards.
     For my card I've used one of Mo's newest images, "Fairy Sleepy" and several new Memory Box and Poppystamps dies I just bought.  I went back and forth forever trying to decide whether to purchase the Fabulous Phlox flower dies and now that I have them I could kick myself for not having gotten them sooner.  Aren't they gorgeous!  I used a brand new Heidi Swapp ink pad in Mustard too.
     Here's sleepyheads' close up.


Copics Used:
skin--E000, E00, E11, E13, R20, R30
hair--E50, E51, E53, E55
wings--B0000, B000, B00, BV000
grass--YG03, YG93, YG95, YG97

     You might have just purchased a brand new image from Mo during her recent sale or you might have some new card making goodies that you got for Christmas.  Maybe someone needs a new baby or new home card.  Either way we'd love to have you come play along with this weeks challenge for your chance at a $5.00 gift voucher from Mo's store.
     I'd like to enter this card into a few challenges.

Hi Tracy, such a sweet card! I love the mustard ink with those beautiful flowers! Thanks for stopping by, I enjoyed your visit. I've been thinking about you and wondering how you are. I'm knee deep in food preparation and out of town guests so I haven't been online very much. Take care!

Tracy, you made me go look at the memory box flower die, but I had a punch that was almost exactly the same with a slight modification :) Your card is gorgeous as always and obviously I loved your flowers :) Always a treat to see what you have created and Fairy Sleepy is no exception.
