Christmas Fairy

Hey there fellow crafters, I'm here to share my latest {PIN}spirational make with you. This fortnights photo is a fabulous if not brain boggling one lol.....you will find it either here or at the end of my post!

Ok, so the basics are you have to try something you have never done before....so after much brain pain & searching I decided to use 'hair gel' on my card. We are sponsored by the awesome 'Sheepski' this fortnight, so with being on Andrea's DT I knew exactly which image & what I was going to do with my hair gel....... I hope you like it!
