Thank you fairy much!

I know what your thinking - a green fairy?????  yep playing around with my stamps and thought leprechauns their kinda fairyish and green right???  lol... so it didn't turn out just like i wanted but I like the outlining colours - i guess playing around is the only way to find out what you like...

anyhoo... here is my card and I am open to all suggestions:

and a close up of the stickle wings

the fairy is from Kraftin Kimmie and the swirl stamp is from CTMH and i used washi tape - I am not that fond of washi tape... i find that it unsticks... but I love the ease of it

and of course the challenges that inspired me to try something different:

kraftin kimmie stamps - CAS

the crazy challenge - thank you 

just some lines - fairies
