Fairy Special Sister

I am so lucky to have such a wonderful big sister--actually she is much shorter than I. Nevertheless, she will always be my big sister, and I will always be her little sister no matter our heights, or our ages.  When I saw the Sweet Pea flower fairy stamp set by Crafter's Companion, I knew I had to have it. The image depicts how protective my sister has always been.

Because this is a fairly large image, I made the card larger so I could add a  little embellishment, not too much though--that is not my sister's style, but flower fairies require a little something extra, don't they?  I pulled out the Copics for the coloring the image, the seam binding, and the flower.

I am linking this to the Crafter's Companion USA Challenge Blog and the first challenge which is to use flowers.

Have a beautiful weekend,
