RICK ST DENNIS' SPARKLE AND GLITTER "JULY FREEBIE CONTEST"

 Here we go again with another FREEBIE and CONTEST at the Rick St Dennis Sparkle and Glitter blog! 

I have enjoyed colouring in and making this sample with this delightful little Summer Faerie that Rick has drawn for everyone's delight.

I coloured her using Copics and a white gel pen :

Some Diamond Stickles add sparkle to her wings and she has a satin ribbon bow in her hair.

Don't forget to become a follower of the blogs after snagging the freebies, if you aren't already. Also signing up for Rick's monthly newsletter will be well worth your while (**wink, wink**)

Post your link on the JULY CONTEST ENTRY PAGE and link back to our freebie post. This contest closes JULY 27, 2013 and winner will be announced on July 31. First place gets three images of choice from Rick's Etsy Shoppe, because of low turn outs-there will only be ONE winner this month . There is no Random.org.

I would like to add this card to the following challenges
