Fairy Mouse

 Good Morning and a Happy 2024

I've not been around since before Christmas, been a bit under the weather and this cold spell hasn't helped, my arthritis has been bad in my knees and I have been having to use crutches to get about, so as it was quiet I decided to have a break from blogging and a good rest.

I am back today as we have our first challenge of 2024 over on Fab'n'Funky where our lovely Chris is hosting with her challenge of:
 
Stamp It
(please include some stamping on your project - 'real' stamping or digital)
 
My card is one I have made for my friend's granddaughter who will be four next week.  (sorry about the quality of the photo, the papers are very pale and the light hasn't been very good for taking photo's)
 

 The image is a Pink Ink stamp, coloured with Copics and I added a little glitter to her wings.  Papers are from my stash, sentiment is a Whimsy stamp, flower is a Lisa Horton die and I added a number 4.

Have a good day!
