It's that time of the month when we teapotters get to "tickle" each other! The challenge this week was to use our birth flower - I looked up April and it is Sweet Pea in the US and Daisy in the UK - seeing I had a daisy sprig stamp I went with this!
I heat embossed the daisy sprig in white EP, coloured flower lightly with chalk, and sealed with modge podge. My fairy is in the form of the quilled butterfly. I embossed the dp and Wild Wasabi c/s using an Anna Griffin EF. I love these colours together!
TFL!

I agree, these colours are wonderful together. I imagine a lot of people will use butterflies as not everyone has fairy or sprite stamps. As long as it has wings right? This is very pretty.

Sue, this is a real eye catcher and that pink and green make one great color combo.
