Do the Impossible

Hello Friends!  Happy Monday!  It's time for another fun Belles 'n Whistles Challenge and our most talented Kathy has given us a challenge of  "Wing It" (use wings) on our creation.  How sweet is that?!

So, I decided to use the precious Dragonfly Flight Fairy and make a card inspired by 4 different crafters.  I really love how these gals use the white acrylic paint to distress and cheesecloth for that shabby touch!!! 

Three of these crafters are such wonderful dear friends of mine ... Kathy (how appropriate since it's her challenge .. hehe!!!), Chelsea (with her cheesecloth!), and Bonnie (I knew I had to try it when I saw Bonnie's and it got me so excited!  Thanks Bons!!!)  And the other crafter that inspired me is a blog I ran across a few weeks ago and was so blown away by her work ... Minna (she doesn't even know I exist .. LOL!  But I admire her work tremendously!) 

Thank you SO much ladies for your inspiration!!!
Here's my creation:

The Fun Stuff:
Papers:  K&Co
Medium:  Prisma Coloured Pencils with OMS

Thank you so much for stopping by and I do hope you'll join in the fun at Belles 'n Whistles!  Have a beautiful day!

Hugs,
Elise
