January Card Chain Challenge Reveal Day

Happy Friday!! It's the second of the month and that means it's time for the January reveal at the Card Chain Challenge - who sent what to whom! My January card went to Renata in the NL. As usual we were given a variety of challenge options to choose from, I went with the theme of "Magical" and also tried to go with the colors Aqua, Slate and Amethyst, but instead of Slate I used Black so it's not an exact match.

The background was done with Distress Oxide inks. Stamps are Lavinia's Dancing til Dawn, Spiral of Spells and Fern Leaf. I added some  glitter on the fairy wings and around the edge of the card front to make it sparkle. The sentiment sticker from Tim Holtz's Small Talk sticker book was a perfect choice I thought. 

I was happy to hear that Renata loved the card as I surely enjoyed making it :)

I plan to share my fairy card with these challenges:
