This week, Christmas Card Throwdown is challenging us to incorporate FAIRIES into our cards. This was a tough challenge. I was fairly certain I don't own any fairies, stamps or dies. So I googled "are fairies the same as angels?" According to The Guardian "Angels are asexual, surely; and they don't have wings. Fairies, on the other hand, have two sexes and wings." Given this definition, this little guy, who has wings, is a fairy. Though if you had asked I would have said he was an angel! I think it is still a cute Christmas card. The sentiment pulls it all together!
I am also submitting this card to Double Trouble and the Fairy and Unicorn Challenge. Check them out.
Be sure to drop by and see the inspiration cards made by all the design team members and leave them some love!
Enjoy. I can't wait to see your creations in the gallery.

That is one super die cut and a very sweet Christmas card. Great CAS design.
Elizabeth, what a beautiful festive card you made :-)) I like your Fairy ❤️
elle est très élégante et chic Elizabeth, biz
Beautiful... love the gold against the dark background and sharing with The Fairy and The Unicorn challenge.
Pairing the fairy sitting on the crescent moon with the stars behind is ingenious!!! The sentiment/song lyrics are also a terrific match!! Excellent! Thanks for sharing with TFATU! --Becca/owner
This is stunning - love the gold and black combination! Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble :)
I think you chose well - it looks like a fairy to me! The design is very elegant and I love the sentiment - words from my favourite Christmas carol. Gill
Elegant and beautiful card.
