Simply Sassy 'Fairy Tale'...

Hello me lovelies

I am back today with a quick and simple card i made using a stamp i have not used for a long time...not sure why because the stamp is gorgeous and to be honest it has now made me think about going through my stamps and using the ones that i haven't used in such a long time, maybe its something we all should do once in a while!!

The stamp i have used is one of the old Simply Sassy's stamps called 'Fairy Tale'...she is just gorgeous but i have to confess she isn't in the normal colours, i have coloured her blue tones...i think she looks ok, see what you think so without further ado, here's my card...hope you likey *smiles*
