You are a Hoot! card

Hi there,

I have just recently used this cute owl from Limited Runs but in a completely different way. Here I have made him 3D by fussy cutting parts of him and using foam dots. I doodled around the circle and banner. Please ignore the glue as it wasn't set when I photographed this and now my photos aren't coming out as clear as this one (it's winter here as of tomorrow so it's gloomy outside). 

The gorgeous variety of coloured pearls and the fence are from Flourish with a Bling.

Flourish with a Bling are a retail store as well as wholesale so you can buy direct from us now! We have some fantastic themed packs (eg. Bling, vintage, fairy garden, boys, princess etc) at amazing prices, you can check them all out by clicking here. If you mention my blog (Lucy) when ordering we will send you a bonus Jasmine laser flourish!

Owl friendship card

Hi all, 

I am happy to be a guest designer over at Quirky Crafts this challenge, their criteria this challenge is to use black, white and a sprinkle of your favourite colour (apparently my card has too much green so be careful not to use too much of your extra colour). Cazzy gave me this gorgeous owl image to use from Limited Runs, they are also sponsored by Crafty Ribbons and Robyn's Fetish. 

The gorgeous leaves and pearls are by Flourish with a Bling, check the vine out HERE.

I used copic markers, a glue pen and glitter on the owl.

I'm a guest designer at My Sheri Crafts

Happy Mother's Day!! I hope you're getting spoiled today if you're a mum celebrating mother's day today. 

I'm a guest designer over at My Sheri Crafts this challenge, I hope you check it out as it's a great blog and the challenge this time is to create 3D flowers on your card. I made my 3D flowers with two retro flower punches and a stick! I know many crafters have these punches but I haven't seen many flowers made this way and yet it's my favourite way to use the flower punches. See below for basic tutorial but feel free to contact me if you ever have any queries. You can buy the fence, toadstools, grass, leaves and pearls from Flourish with a Bling.
