Ever After SimonSaysStamp Challenge Entry!

Today I entered my first ever challenge! The Simon Says Stamp & Show blog has a challenge open called 'Ever After'. The idea is to create something fairytale inspired! I love the idea of challenges, especially on a day where I want top create something but I'm not sure what. Having a theme is great because it gives you a starting point without dictating exactly what you make! I'm pretty happy with how the tag came out.

I decided to make a tag with a quote by W.H Auden - "The way to read fairytales is to throw yourself in". I used blues and golds and wanted to create a tag that kind of 'glowed' rather than sparkled. I'd love to hear what you think so please feel free to give me your thoughts/feedback. Now for some photos! :)
