All Things Magical and Mythical #120 Featuring Rainbow Fairy from Sweet November Stamps

Good morning and welcome to this week's All Things Magical and Mythical post. For today's card I have used the latest freebie digi stamp from Sweet November Stamps, which was in last month's newsletter. She's adorable and I went with traditionally bright rainbow colours for her with a touch of black as well.

As she was so bright, I thought I would go for a pastel rainbow colour combo, but I'm not totally convinced it works to be honest! Oh well!
