The color challenge for Pals Paper Arts is:  use Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy and Very Vanilla!  I combined this challenge with Mojo Monday with this result...

The stamp is from the new Occasions Mini Catalog and it is my favorite along with the Blossom Punch that puches it out beautifully.  Although, I think I purchased just about every stamp in the catalog because they were ALL so very lovely!  I also embossed the background paper with the textured impressions embossing folder "stripes" to give it some depth.

Ink:        Real Red, Not Quite Navy, Baja Breeze

Stamps : Mixed Bunch # 125537(c) ,#125535 (w);  Loving Thoughts #125845 (c),125843 (w)  Both are in the Occasions Mini Catalog

Pals Paper Arts Challenge 116

I have dubed this my Christmas Fairy.  It is in fact a beautiful digital stamp, "Teen Fairy Pia" from Mo's Digital Pencil.  I love her work.  I used chalk, one of my favorite mediums for coloring, perfect pearls, and liquid glass to give my Fairy depth.  I also found some Swarovski Elements by Jolee's in just the right colors to highlite her sash.
