Fairy Dust!

It's Tuesday so it's time to share a project created for Topflight Stamps. I was feeling whimsical so I created a card with the Shroom Fairies Clear Stamp Set and Melina's ATC Backgrounds Clear Stamp Set by Melina Dahl for  That's Crafty with the Fairy Dust Sentiment Clear Polymer Stamp by Lavinia Stamp and a sheet of patterned paper from the gorgeous Ink Drops - Candy 6x6 Essential Craft Papers by Craft Consortium.
