Fairytale Wishes

I'm working away on the last few HYCCT challenges at Splitcoast Stampers. These two cards were for the fairytale themed challenge "Imagine the Impossible". I just loved the theme and thought these sweet Sami Stamps images would be just the thing to use.

The top card is my boy version and the one below is for a girl. I was glad to make a "boyly" card (opposite of girly to my 4 year old, lol). Because most of the fairytale cards were very feminine. I think all little boys and girls dream of being a knight of princess!
