Waiting for my garden fairy.....

Hello again.  I'm really going to try hard not to complain about the weather today....I'll just make sure I don't look outside, and I'll think nice warm thoughts.  Hah!  They say the groundhog saw his shadow and we have 6 more weeks of this.  Personally, I'm just surprised he survived to see another year.  He must have a nice warm cubby, and if he's smart he will climb right back in there!


Now for those nice warm thoughts....here I had a go with water colours again, and the 'out of the box technique' using a new die I received for Christmas.  A colourful floral paper to brighten things up and hopefully send winter packing!

Supplies used:
Wee Stamp - Silver Fairy
Basic Grey papers - Picadilly collection
Spellbinders dies - Scallopped Labels One and Asian Motifs
other - a few gems, some DI's, and some glitter pen to make the border.

Thanks for visiting.  Make sure you stay warm....and hopeful!
