This hop will not be your ordinary hop... it is full of secrets and smiles, wonder and amazement. Magical things happen when you get a group of ladies together. What kind of magic you ask? The only magic worth seeking, wanting, cherishing... the kind of magic you find in true friendship. Today we have a little bit of magical enchantment to share with you in these newest Fresh Brewed Designs images. Each tells a little story, a little mystery, a little fun, and adds just a little bit of fantasy to each creation you will see during this hop.
As children we remember those Fairy Tales about mermaids and magical worlds where fairies live. We would lay in the grass and wonder if the patch of wildflowers was full of life, if mermaids swam in the sea beneath us. It is always fun to imagine and dream.
"Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again” ---- CS Lewis
For my card I used Tiana with the lovely Lilies of the Valley on her wings. I remember finding these delicate flowers in both of my grandmothers' gardens. The way they bloom in clusters, facing downward like little bells, they must produce sweet music heard only by the fairies of the gardens.
I colored Tiana with Copics and made the card with a purple and green color scheme. The background paper is from the Basic Grey Wisteria collection. The green and lavender trim papers are punched with three of the Martha Stewart border punches: wrought iron, pansies, and branches. The Lilies of the Valley are silk picks from Hobby Lobby wedding department and the ribbon from my stash.
Thank you so much for hopping, fluttering, or splashing by today. Please continue your journey by stopping by Jenn 's blog to see her beautiful creation. There is more magic and fun to come. Be sure to complete the hop in full, you will not want to miss the surprise at the end!!!

Oh My Goodness Barbara! This is such an enchanting card! Beautiful in every way. Purple is my favorite color of all and this deep midnight shade is perfect with her! I LOVE that DP and those beautiful flowers!
Thanks for all you do!
Hugs!
Barbara, I agree that lily of the valley is a magical flower and that with the flowers pointing down only fairies and pixies get the gift of hearing the music. Gorgeous coloring on this and beautiful papers!

reread (sorry .. I was not feeling my best and missed part of your beautiful post) I LOVE what you wrote about fairies being the only ones to hear the music. My aunt had those snowball bushes... so full of gorgeous puffs of white and blue flowers. They all have some sort of magical beauty to them, don't they. God is so good... he makes so many things for us to love and enjoy .. to show us how much he loves us.
Hugs to you sweetie. Thank you for this... you totally made me smile!
Lillies of the valley are one of my favorite flowers--I requested that they be part of my wedding bouquet (nov 23)--they were -plastic. I love the fragance; not the same. I love the pieced wings;beautiful card!!
