Good evening, after a very long day here are my two DT challenge cards for Moving Along With The Times and Willow Sketchie Challenge .

Moving Along With The Times Challenge # 38 - Clare W's Sketch

My lovely friend and DT colleague Clare, has done the sketch this week and our sponsor Craft Fairy, have given us some lovely fairy images to play with.

Craftwork cards 'sentiment', Doodlebug ric-rac ribbon and stones and Prima green and orange flowers finish her off. I have used my MS Flourish punch to decorate around her.
