Color Dare #59

It's Wednesday and it's time for another Color Dare! Here is your inspirational picture for this week:

The colors are Chocolate chip, Tempting turquois and Certainly Celery. As always, if you don't have these exact colors, use what you have that is close. My card is heavy on the Chocolate Chip and Turquois. You have to look hard to see the butterfly and the middle button...that's my wee bit of the Certainly Celery color.

And since I love this fairy image so much, I had to take more of a close up picture:

Other Challenges:
Charisma Cardz: use a fairy
Raise the Bar: use an image with a book
Crafty Cardmakers: Female celebration
Stamp Something: something girly
I Love Digi: digi image and sketch and something for a mom
Magical Crafts: things with wings
Frosted Designs: use your favorite technique ( I used embossing and inking the edges)
**** EDITED****
Several people have asked where I got this image. It's from this Free Fairy Coloring page site:
