Cobweb! Another Little Fairy

I know I'm being a bad blogger again! I'm sorry if I haven't been round to visit you lately, it's half term and I just haven't had much time to craft let alone get on the lappy! I will try to visit you all soon.
This is another of the gorgeous little fairies from Lili of the Valley. This one is called 'Cobweb'.

I've coloured her with promarkers and flexmarkers, and added lots of glitter to her fairy wings and to the spider's web. The background papers are also from Lili of the Valley, Always and Forever and Always and Forever Solids.

I've used a Mb pippi butterfly die, the flowers are from The Ribbon Girl and the ribbon and pearls are from my stash.

Stampin for the Weekend - For the Girls

Sorry - a sad post coming up

Hello everyone, 
Thank you for all your kind comments about Oscar. A lot has happened since I posted about him. 
He had a scan on Thursday and found out that the chemo wasn't working and his cancer had spread. His Mum and Dad made the very difficult decision to stop the treatment. 
They brought him home on Thursday to be with his family.

Oscar lost his battle with the cancer yesterday afternoon. He went peacefully while havimg a cuddle with his Mum and Dad.
