Let the Fairy in you fly!

I love this beautiful stamp from Sweet Pea stamps designer Lisa Victoria. This adorable fairy is holding a sweet little dragon. The name of this stamp is "The Butterfly Dragon" (Plate #72). I added a wonderful saying from Plate #24 that says "Let the little fairy in you fly!" I used some beautiful printed background cardstock and added some weaved ribbon on top with some orange ric rac on the edges. I added beautiful flowers layered with red, white, and orange flowers to match the color of the stamped image.

Lisa Victoria has some adorable stamp images featuring dragons with a sweet little fairy. I hope this card inspires you to let the fairy in you fly!!

    Oh my! Now this is really cute. That little dragon is something....isn't s/he....so cute. You did a wonderful job on the card. Love it and that image I know my granddaughter would love. (She likes fairies and all that magical stuff like Harry Potter and dragons).
