My next birthday gift

Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope you are warm where you are, we are expecting a high of 12 degrees today, brrrr! Today I am posting a card with my birthday wish as the main image. This is Housework Fairy by Mo Manning for Stamping Bella.

Having a husband and two cats she would definitely be put to work! Papers are Kaiser Craft and I have used a MS punch and a prima flower. The gold corners are from WOC, I hoard them so to have used three on one card is amazing! Ok, don't forget our SCS challenge which is "A picture is worth a thousand words" and our Stamping Bella weekly challenge which is our inspiration photo.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Sweet Stampin   show us your "frills"
Oozak  Anything goes with "pink and  bling"
Marker Pop  pretty in pink

Wow, this is so gorgeous Amanda. Love the shading on her skirt and those WOC corners are beautiful (I'm sure I would hoard them too). And if you actually get one of these for your b-day, let me know your source cause I'm gonna put in my order right away :)

Please, please, please - can I have a housework fairy too?!!

This is really sweet - wonderful coloring again (love the shading on her dress!) What a fun card!

Super fun - send her my way when she's done there! Love the way you get so much dimension with your coloring, Amanda.

Super cute card Amanda, I'm having trouble with my blogger as I leave comments but then they don't stay on anyones blog ... I'll try again.
It was worth using 3 of your gold corners on this one cuz that little working gal needs a little bling for all the hard work she's doing. LOVE your amazing coloring ...

Wonderful image, Amanda, and such marvelous coloring! Love that two-tone flower and how well it works with your color combo. If you find out where Housework Fairies can be hired, please do let me know. I want one, too. :-D

Bwa ha ha. I need that fairy because my house is a wreck. Cat fur tumbleweeds everywhere, layers of dust, clutter galore.

Your card is fabulous. Your coloring is gorgeous, those corners are fantastic (need to find some), and I love the design!

I think I'll send you all my flowers since you have such flair when you use them!
