Flying Home for the Holidays

I created this card using Lavinia Stamps and stencil, TH Distress Spray Stains, Metallic Gilding Polish, and Fairy-tales.

Winter has definitely arrived in Minnesota in the form of a blizzard!

While clearing the snow, I glanced up and noticed these lovely fairies and their dragons flying overhead. I waved and they stopped to introduce themselves. “I’m Nia and this is Everlee. Ollar and Vorloc are giving us a ride back home to the Enchanted Forest for the holidays.”

The fairies had a long ways to go, and the dragons were shivering, so I gave them a hug and gave the dragons a treat-fire crackers. They sprinkled me with fairy dust and climbed up onto their dragons. I heard Nia exclaim “Any place has to be warmer than here!” (My thoughts exactly.) As they flew out of sight, I thought ‘Those were fire dragons…come back and melt my snow!’
