Challenge #5 at Aurora Wings

So excited about the new challenge at the Aurora Wings Challenge Blog!  

Can you guess what it is?

Yes!  It's Sprite Delight, those adorable little creatures that have won the hearts of all Aurora Wings fans, and this month we want to see them on your project.

I've made an oh oh... I've forgotten what this card fold is called, and, for that matter, where I found the instructions (if someone could help me out on this, I'd appreciate it).  To be honest, I made the base well over a year ago and it's been rattling around my craft room, waiting for the right project, since then. This was IT! I do know that I decided to try jazzing up the top by punching with a large MS flower punch before assembly and it worked pretty well.  The filligree half round behind is a die from Heartfelt Creations.

 
 So enough of that, let's get to the Sprites! Here we have (from the top down)Kawaii Fairy, Wisteria Sprite, Hydrangea Sprite, and Dahlia Sprite.  I've kept the base all white so as not to detract from the adorable Sprites, but added various punched and dies for added texture among the folds.

And on this side, Morning Glory Sprite, and Calla Lily Sprite.  I've chosen all of these flowers because they grow in my garden and I've colored them with Copics in the same hues I see in my backyard.  Then each was fussy cut and popped on the card.

 

 In the center I have Tiger Lily Sprite, colored as a Stargazer, another Kawaii Fairy (with Stickled wings) and finally Petunia Sprite.  I wish I'd had more room because there are many more Sprites that grow in my garden and you can see them all HERE in the Etsy Shop or HERE in the Aurora Wings Digi Shop.  I remembered the little poem I've seen flitting around on fairy projects on the net and thought it would be perfect for this project.  The die is a Spellbinders Floral Oval. 

I really had fun with this Challenge and my DT sisters obviously did too.  Please visit the Aurora Wings Challenge Blog to see the gorgeous inspiration there.  And there might just be a little surprise for YOU from our dear and generous Mitzi, so don't miss out!
