I created this for (mrslaird) aka Paula's HYCCT challenge to make a card inspired by a fairy tale. My first thought was of Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty but I didn't know how to put that on a card with what I have in my stamping arsenal so I googled "fairy Tales" and somewhere in the list I saw the word TREE. There are quite a few fairy tales that have trees and forests as a big part of the story so I thought of this die cut that a sweet friend sent me.
I stained the background, placed the trees and then googled a "fairy tale" sentiment and found this one. This one inspires me!
I added a touch of snow to soften the trees and hopefully give a hint of fairy tale magic!

A most magical card. Beautiful forest and great fairy tale message. The snow flakes are a wonderful addition.
