Candi Tooth Fairy

Hello High Hopes Fans!

I am back today to share a card using an older High Hopes image, Candi Tooth Fairy.

I colored her to match the paper that I used on the card.

I colored it with Prisma pencils.

(Peach, black, Magenta, Cardinal Red, Canary Yellow, Pale Vermillion, warm grey)

This would be a fun card to stash some money in from the Tooth Fairy when your little one looses her tooth.

I hope you enjoyed today's inspiration!
