Saturated Canary Birthday card

Hi crafty people/friends,

I have created a card today for my gorgeous 12 year old niece and thought a Saturated Canary image would be perfect for her age group as they are soooo cute but not too childish. Silly me worked to a sketch and then realised the sketch challenge finished 2 days ago lol!! Oh well, luckily I loved the design and I also tried to incorporate a few other challenges while I was at it, there's always a silver lining somewhere lol.

Saturated Canary Spring card

Hi crafty friends, today I've created a card with a gorgeous Saturated Canary image, this is the first time I have coloured her and it was such fun. I made her very large so I could fussy cut her out and make her the stand out of the card. This card is so sparkly in real life as the papers have sparkly butterflies and flowers all over it but I just couldn't get my camera to translate that onto the photo.
