I have used TEDDYBEA_208 for my confetti box, she has been coloured with pencils and then layered on top of a frame which I cut on my Silhouette, I have added a feather and 3 roses cut from the same scrapbook paper. Bea's flowers have glaze on them and her hat has lots of stickles. 

I have also had a little play with Sammy Spaceman who is one of the FairyD releases this week. I have coloured him with Promarkers and layered him onto black card, where I have doodled the border and stars, which have pearls in the middle of them. The Moon is tin foil which I used my 2" punch to make and the grass is co-ordinations paper which I have torn.
