Hi girls. A warm welcome to my little space on the Web. I hope you find something here to please the eye and encourage your creative juices.I have been looking forward to today. I am going into hospital as a day patient to have steriod injections into my spine to alleviate the back pain I have. I get these injections about every 4 months or so and they usually make a big difference for a while. I went in during Christmas week but the procedure did not go according to plan and the needle went into the spinal fluid so they had to abandon and give me arterial blood to stop the fluid leaking and I have been in quite a bit of discomfort since. Hopefully today will put all that right. It may be very late in the day before I can leave comments if at all but I promise I will catch up.
Anyway, enough of my moaning, on to the card. I have decided to enter this card into 3 challenges. Lili of the Valley who provided a great sketch, Cute Card Thursday where the theme was "Fairy Fantastic" and Charisma Cardz who wanted "Fruity Colours". I have used the LOTV stamp "Fairy on Tiptoes" and coloured her using my Copic Ciaos. I love this stamp. I used Dovecraft "Fantasy" designer pack papers and My Mind's Eye "Laundry Line" and mounted them on plain green card. I used plain pink card for cutting out the petals for the handmade flowers. Everything else is from my stash.
If you have the time to spare I would love it if you left a comment to let me know what you think of this card. Your comments are so helpful and encouraging and I love reading them. It's also great to know who has been visiting my blog. Do have a good day and be productive.
Hugs,

Hi fiona - it's not whinging when the hospital make a cock up of your injection - poor you I really felt it as I was reading about it. Hope all has gone better for you today and you will have a period of some relief from your pain. This is a lovely card, the little tag is a great idea.
