Birthday girl with Balloons (Tiddly Inks image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

As you probably know, I love creating young, cute girly cards and so I just had to create a 6 year old Birthday card with this gorgeous image from Tiddly Inks. I used some of my really old papers for this but it's still a lovely pattern with sparkles on it. I added some Glossy Accents to the balloons and sentiment, there's a close up photo below.

It's a Harry Potter Birthday card (Bugaboo image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I know, I know, if you've just come from my last cards you'll see this is my second wizard boy card which isn't usually my style but Cupcake Inspirations blog has a witches and wizards challenge and I thought I'd finally colour up these 2 gorgeous little wizards that I have in my stash. This was a relatively easy card to make, randomly cutting papers on a slant to add to the background and then adding some thin green cardstock to give some extra colour to the background. The cute digi comes from Bugaboo, I added some polka dots to his outfit and punched out some stars.
