2. What are your top 3 favorite Faery Ink images? Why? (please include the URL to the images in the Faery Ink shop). My favorite images are "Destiny Snow Faery", "Holiday Tree Destiny" and "Bella the Candy Fairy" because I love Christmas/Winter and they are all very beautiful images!

Now, I will show you my projects. I really love how they came together and I hope you do, too!

For this card, I colored up "Amber Heart Fae" Digital Stamp . Isn't she gorgeous? I used my copic markers to color her. The patterned paper I used is by Santoro, as well as the ribbon & trim. The embellishments were from my stash. The circle die cut around the image is from a die set called "Stitched Large Circle Stackables". The doily behind is by Doodlebug Design in the color called "Swimming Pool".

My second creation is using "Granmargaret Fairy" Digital Stamp. The patterned paper is one of my favorites by Kaisercraft called "Enchanted Garden". The border die cut is made by C.C. Designs, but I believe it is discontinued. The rectangle framing the image is another die set from Lawn Fawn called "Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables". The trim is from Trimcraft.

I hope you like my creations and I would be totally thrilled to be part of the Faery Ink Guest Design Team! Good luck to everyone!
