A Fairy Happy Birthday card (Crafts & Me/Hannah Lynn image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

This is a bit girly isn't it hehe? She is such a beautiful fairy I think, you can find her at Crafts and Me, she is an image by Hannah Lynn. I tried my hand at giving the lantern a "glow", I think it turned out okay. I have used this image before so I have a photo of the card I made previously just below the new card for comparisons.
