Wishing You a Fairy Happy Day - FFFC #142 'Fancy Folds'

Hello.  Happy Friday!

We're kicking off a new challenge at the Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge.  And woo-hoo...I'm hosting this challenge and I've chosen 'Fancy Folds' as the theme.  We have two sponsors for this challenge:  Marinanne Design and Sweet Lilac.  To get complete details on the challenge, the prize being offered and how you can join in the fun, visit the Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge blog. Don't forget to check out the fabulous cards that my DT teammates have created to inspire you to play along with us.

Here's what I've created.

Seeing that Marianne Designs is sponsoring us for this challenge, I've used a few of their dies to create the floral arrangement:
- Marianne Designs Creatables LR0111 Flowers
- Marianne Designs Creatables LR0151 Garden Branch
- Marianne Designs Creatables LR0122 Poinsettia With Veins

This is called a lever card--probably because the centre panel swings like a lever.

I used my markers and coloured pencils to do the colouring.  Added glitter to the fairy wings.
The template or measurements for the lever card you can find it HERE, except instead of a square centre panel, I used a Go Kreate die to create a shaped centre panel.

Here are close-ups of the digital stamps being featured--they are from A Day For Daisies.

This first one is called  Fairy Hope.

This one is called I Wish, but this digi stamp is no longer available for purchase.
