Fairy and Castles Magic and Pixie Dust...Inkspirational Challenge #143~Photo Inspiration

Hello,

Our wonderful Guest Designer, Karren, and my fabulous teammates

are delighted to welcome you to Inkspirational Challenge #143~Photo Inspiration.  Such a lovely vintage (or is that shabby chic?) image..the frame, the music background, the ballerina. A seemingly simple photo, but with a breadth of inspirational choices.


Two cards today that are essentially the same, but different. I've transposed the musical background into stenciled rows of magical castles and the ballerina into a dancing fairy (Poppy Stamps: Graceful Faerie).  Sentiments are also from Poppy Stamps.  A shimmery card-stock fairy here.., set atop Worn Lipstick distress oxide castles...


and a a Peacock Feathers distress oxide inked one here (with shimmery wings, of course) and Cracked Pistachio distress oxide castles...


I think you can likely guess who one of these fairies will be fluttering to; yes, Ms. Niece. Now, to decide which one...

Once again, the spotlight turns to you!
Looking forward to seeing your photo inspired creations in the gallery!

    Two beautiful cards, Carol. Oh look at those sweet fairy dancers. Love your stenciled background and the whole magical feel of the cards. I'm sure your niece will be delighted with either card. I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Hugs!

    Tinkerbell is a perfect substitute for the ballerina, Carol, and I love the sentiments that go with her.
