a secret world ....

Evening everyone hope you are all well ,ive got some exciting news to share with my card tonight a few weeks ago i got an email from Teresa from crafts and me asking me if i would like to join her design team and seeing as its one of my fave stores there was no way i was saying no to that !!! so here is my first card i have used 2 images from the amazing sara burrier teas and sandwiches and dear diary i was just going to use one but when i sat down to colour i thought hmmm i wonder what it would look like if i combined the 2 so i had a play on my graphics program and came up with this little scene , i dont think i have grown out of the fairy at the bottom of the garden thing !!!! i spent most of my childhood looking for this secret world !!! i have coloured with copics, crocheted the flower and amazingly haven't used any dp's just used a background stamp !!
