Happy Monday. I had some time to play today and put together this card for a few challenges. The image is from A Day for Daisies, called Good Luck Pixie, I think she is so sweet. Another one of those "from behind" images that grabbed me right away.

I made it for the Sweet Sketch Wednesday sketch #138. I always enjoy their sketches each week and try to play along when I can. I'm also entering the ADFD challenge #35 All that Glitters. I added lots of sparkle to those wings and a bit to the flowers.

Garden Friends

This fun image is a new release from Designed2Delight called Garden Friends. I keep needing cheerful masculine cards for the special assignments from the Chemo Angel program.
