Fairy in the clouds card (CC Designs image)

Hey there,

I was asked to create a 1 year old girl's Birthday card, I'm really hoping the card giver and the little baby girl like this card I've made for them. The cute little image is from CC Designs, the bottom cloud border is from Magnolia and the clouds are Lawn Fawn Spring Showers set. The balloon die was free with a magazine and I used glitter foam, surprisingly it goes through the die cutting machine with no difficulty whatsoever.

Doodled Pattern Dress Girl with Balloons (Fred She Said image)

Hi Crafty friends,

I think I am back to usual with my creating now. I've had a couple of quiet months but I've now sorted my crafting storage and I'm hoping this helps.

I thought I'd get a little artistic today and try something new so I created a pattern on her dress instead of just colouring/shading it. The balloons are my favourite die at the moment, it came free with a magazine! The fence is from my company Flourish with a Bling. The gorgeous little girl is from Fred She Said.
