Fairy, but with a twist

Stained Glass window card
I wanted to be the first to enter. I really get a kick out of that. So silly, I know but indulge me.
Now, don't be fooled into thinking that I've put on any stitching. It's dots made with the pen. Quick and simple. Makes up for the age that I took to colour in the stamped image.
I know that you are going to want to buy it immediately so go to Craft Fairy now to get it. It's the beautiful Stained Glass Flower stamp.
