For my creation I used Little Fairy Friend and Fairy Toadstool both from Meljen. Super cute, don't you think!!!! Both images are coloured with copics. I added stickles to her wings, shoes and all the dp edges. The flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts. The beautiful brads are from Eyelet outlet and I believe the papers are K & Co. but i'm too lazy to dig them out and confirm...lol.
