Firefly Crafts Challenge #1

Hello everyone, Firefly DT Jammie here, welcome to The Forest!  Firefly Crafts is pleased to invite you to participate in our very first challenge!

Our challenge is meant to inspire, not require, so there are very few rules.  Those rules are as follows:

1.  You MUST use a stamp or Die (or some other main component of your project) that can be found    in our shop.
2. You MUST link to the direct post of the project you are entering into our challenge (not to your blog main page).
3. Have Fun!!!!

The winner will be announced on the 3rd Wednesday of each month when we announce our new challenge.  Each month we will have a different prize or gift card from our store. The winner will be chosen via Random.org. Good luck to all of you Fireflies! 

So, without further adieu, here is the FireFly Crafts challenge for June:

This months' challenge is: Anything with wings!

This could mean a Firefly, a Bird, a Fairy, a Dragon, a Butterfly, an Airplane, basically anything that you can think of that flies! 

The Prize this month is: 

A Martha Stewart Score Board!!!

Here's my creation:
