Mistletoe Fairy by Aurora Wings Digital Stamps

Hi friends!  I came across the Spring into Christmas 2022 {BYSHC} Linky Party this morning and decided to make a card.

I have a drawer full of printed images, some of which I coloured and some yet to be coloured.  I found this beautiful image by Aurora Wings called Mistletoe Fairy which I coloured some time ago.  I decided to use it to make a card.

Why not join in the fun?  It's never too early to start making Christmas cards, right?  I do love Christmas!

Thank you for visiting.  I always appreciate it.  Have a happy weekend.  Hugs, Lori xx
