Just For You card (Art By Miran image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Thank you so much to all who leave lovely comments, I wish I could repay them all but I just don't have the time at the moment with working and organising  and holding a craft stall at the Picture 2 Page Sandown show this weekend. If you're in the area, I hope you'll pop by the Flourish with a Bling stall and say hi, I'll be there all weekend. Click HERE to be taken to the P2P show blog for more details.

On to my card and I have used a lovely glamorous girl from Art by Miran, I used black, brown and reds in her hair to give it a little shine and used some liquid pearls for the pearls in her hair. 

We have brand new flowers in a rainbow of colours at Flourish with a Bling and to celebrate we are selling them at only $2 a pack (rrp $3) for this month only. Click on our name to go to our online store and check out all of our gorgeous products.

Red Flower Girl Birthday card (Art By Miran image)

Hi everyone,

I'm back with another card, weekends always seem to be a good time for me to catch up and post my cards these days now I'm working part time in the week. 

This card is using a gorgeous little image from Art by Miran. I doodled the "stitching" with my gold pen just to finish it off. The sentiment is a computer print out, you'll notice I use them often as it makes it really easy to add any sentiment to a card. There are many gorgeous free fonts on the internet to download.

With Love, Moon and Stars card (Art By Miran image)

Hi everyone,

I'm back with my second card that is one of my favourites I created in 2014, isn't this image beautiful from Art by Miran? I thought I'd use one of my larger, fancier die cuts this time to create a card shape and I like how it's turned out. I glittered all the stars in the image and added gold glitter to the brown glass bottle, I love these little bottles. The pearls and black leaves come from Flourish with a Bling who are having a 50% off sale (see below for details).

Flourish with a Bling have a 50% off sale all throughout January 2015, everything is half off!! I hope you'll check out our website as we have our own unique products and we post worldwide. Please email if you would like rough estimates of shipping, if we can send it as a large letter we will or perhaps get your friends to all buy too and share the postage!
