Yellow Spring Birthday Card (A Day for Daisies image)

Hi everyone,

I was a busy little beaver again today as I had a day off work and once the housework was done I was free to create 3 cards.

This card is so much prettier in real life as it looks "sloppy" on the edges (the card is perfectly even down the sides, my camera fibs hehe), colours washed out a bit, etc. 

I coloured the silver rhinestones with my yellow copic marker. The gorgeous image comes from A Day for Daisies.

Beautiful Fairy Birthday Card (A Day for Daisies image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Happy Australia Day! 

How sweet is this image from A Day for Daisies, I have been meaning to create with her for a long time as I printed her up ages ago but used it as my first attempt at watercolours and lets just say it didn't go well hehe. So I tried again with my trusted copics and now I think she looks very sweet in these colours. 

Here's a little tutorial on how I covered the 2 wooden hearts with the background papers - if you haven't tried this it is very easy - glue the paper to the wood item and once the glue has dried completely, sandpaper (I used a nail file so I could get into the top of the hearts easily) all the way around and it looks like it was made this way.
