Simply Betty Stamps a little fairy fun Summer fairy challenge

the requirements, use this adorable fairy from simply betty stamps, and create your own background.  this was a challenge for me but i am so glad i did it.  after a few attempts at trying various ways to make my own background.  i didn't like any of the attempts i tried so i thought some more and while doing research on how to use the Spellbinders Impressabilities i decided to try that.  Well i first attempted to emboss it, that didn't work for me, so the next thing i did was ink it.  that is the method i used and it turned out interesting.  granted i need more practice with this die, but i think it has great potential.
i used my color pencils to color this image.  i then added some light blue glitter glue to give the wings some pizazz!  the lovely fairy reminded me of a free spirit so i added those words to the card.
thank you Betty for this lovely image and this fun challenge.
