Freebie card challenge on Scrapology


 Hello folks!  Hope you are all fine and dandy.  I'm a bit under the weather at the mo but nothing that Lemsip and rest can't fix.  There is a fun challenge over on Scrapology this month and that is to create a card using a 'freebie'.   
 I borrowed a freebie stamp, from the lovely Jackie, that came with a magazine.  I coloured the adorable fairy using Copics (borrowed from the lovey Lynn) I die cut some glitter paper using a pretty butterfly border that I snipped and made to fit around the corner.
I stamped and coloured the image twice so that I could cut the out fairy and decoupage her.  I added a touch of glamour dust to her wings.  The papers are from one of the Creata pads, which I cut into to tuck the topper into.  I used hot melt glue to adhere the little bow that I used for the easel stopper.  Lastly  I die cut 'Isabelle' from funky foam and adhered to the base of the card.  Isabelle was thrilled with her card and her twin brother Ben was pleased with his too :)  They look great next to each other on the mantelpiece.   
I'm sure, if you are a crafter, that you'll have lots of freebies that you have collected over the years.  Why not put them to good use and challenge yourself to make a card that you can enter giving yourself a chance to win some fabulous crafting goodies.  
Ciao for now!
