For Shania!!

It is sheer joy to be able to make this card for our dear little friend and neighbour Shania who turns 4 tomorrow.  Some of you have heard me share Shania's story - she has had 4 Open Heart surgeries already in her little life and has sewn herself securley into the hearts of each member of our family!!  This is the first birthday she has had where she hasn't had a surgery - so is a big event!!

I haven't done a Magnolia for a while and this one is perfect as she is having  a 'Fairy Party', not to mention that Shania's Mum, Nat loves Magnolias!  I used the Our Creative Corner Sketch  for inspiration.  It also qualifies for the Creative Card Crew Challenge which is about Celebration AND for the Flutter by Wednesday which is only requiring a butterfly this week!  

I have chalked the image and added Kindy Glitz on the wings to give them that extra sparke.  The edges have been sponged and lace has been added along the left edge of the image.  Both the DP and the panel have been embossed and sponged and layered onto black CS.  Nail bling has been added , along with a sentiment and flower,  The sentiment is from PTI, the final touch is the added butterflies, with Nail Bling added.

Thank you for stopping by and for the very kind comments you leave - I look forward to seeing that you have been!  It is raining here and the kids first day back at school after a three week break - I am trying to catch up with a few things.....I hope your day is both relaxing and productive!!  God bless you!
