Hello, my friends,The Cardologists believe chocolate is necessary for the creative process. Needless to say a lot of M&Ms went into this project. The card took over my whole afternoon. It started as a simple small card but then it called to be switched around and made into a buckle. (The actual card went through several metamorphosis until ending up as a gray card with embossed swirls distressed with blue.)

The fairy stamp is a Penny Black stamp. I stamped her twice and popped up the head and star. I stamped the wings twice with Staz-On on acetate, and cut them out, leaving a tab to slip into the slit I made along her dress.

It wasn't going to be a Christmas card either but when I went looking through my stash I found this sentiment that fit perfectly.

Spellbinders Labels Twenty-two formed the "buckle" and framed the sentiments from two different Stampin' Up sets, one retired, one Petite Pairs.
