I've been super busy working on the NEW Fairy Hugs Sentiment release!
The entire release will be in the Fairy Hugs Store on February 15th
Let's see what we can make using Fairy Hugs Store supplies!
I am using the New Fairy Hugs Sentiment - Fairy Whispers (World) 1 of 7 sentiments in this set.
Some times it is just nice to know how important we are.
Here is some interesting information found on line about skunks:
Despite their stinky habits, skunks can be an appreciated visitor as they are especially useful at controlling field mice populations and other rodents around homes and barns. Coyotes, badgers, foxes, minks and weasels are known as strong predators of noxious rodents, but the skunk surpasses them all. It has been observed that when skunks are heavily trapped and hunted, local rodent populations increase.
Farm pests like army worms and June bugs have been shown to be effectively controlled by skunks. Skunks are valued for control of hop borer grubs as they are the only efficient natural predator of this moth. The skunk will reportedly listen at the base of the hop vine to locate the larvae. In fact, it was mainly through the efforts of hop growers that legislation protecting the striped skunk was first enacted.
The diverse diet of a striped skunk depends on the season and what is available. In the spring and summer months insects compose a large portion of their diet along with frogs, lizards, bird eggs, spiders, snakes, and mice. In the fall and winter months, skunks will consume a variety of fruits, carrion, grasses, leaves, buds, and nuts. Skunks are gluttonous eaters and obesity is often a problem.

This is how i made this card:
I started with some digital paper. I positioned the stamps on my card front and decided to stamp the Fairy Hugs Tree Stump first with VersaFine Clair - Morning Mist, so that i could color the tree trunk in with Prismacolor pencils and so that when i stamped Eliana (fairy) in VersaFine Clair - Nocturne, she would show up better. Now i knew where i wanted to put a moon. So i used a circle mask and made a "moon/sun" halo with Distress Oxide - Chipped Sapphire. Next, i stamped the Fairy Hugs Log in VersaFine Clair - Morning Mist for two reasons, same as the tree stump, i wanted to color it with colored pencil and i wanted the skunks to show up better.
Last thing i stamped was to add the New sentiment. Now i colored in the images i stamped.
