Thinking of you Girly Autumn card (The Greeting Farm image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Phew, if you just read my last post I made entering that card into the challenge I was trying to make with less than a minute to spare, that was close haha! 

So now when I thought I can relax my daughter's bugging me to use the computer so I'm still going to have to be quick! This gorgeous image is from The Greeting Farm, I'm not sure if she's available any more, it was a rubber set but they have more amazing stamp sets there, I have a few new ones coming and I'm super excited about it! 

I heat embossed some stitching and the sentiment, the stitching stamps are a Kaisercraft set. I die cut the tree out of kraft cardstock and then coloured some of it with Copics. The lovely bling is from Flourish with a Bling. 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

A Gem of a Challenge - use kraft

C.R.A.F.T. - Embossing - I heat embossed the stitching and sentiment

Creative Craft Cottage - Thinking of you/get well cards

Thank you card in my garden (Lala Land image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

My last card to show you tonight is a fall inspired card using a Lala Land stamp. I actually coloured the image when I first started cardmaking but I never created with it. When I came across it in my stash I decided to colour over the top to see how my colouring had come along and how much it would change how it looked. I'm so annoyed with myself that I didn't take a photo of the "before" colouring so you could see the difference. I added a little bird to her hat to match the "garden".

Autumn Girl Card (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

This is my 5th and final card to show for tonight. I created this card today although I had coloured the gorgeous Saturated Canary image up a couple of weeks ago. I then decided to get a bit artsy with the background of the image and so it is a mix blend of copic markers and distress inks. I also distress inked the background paper with some brown/reds.

 I love my new "dangly jewels" I bought at a recent craft show. The blingy flower and antique gold pearls are from Flourish with a Bling.

Enjoying the Rain Birthday card (Cute as a Button image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Does this weather look familiar hehe? Not here in Oz today, we have a beautiful 27 degree day, the sun is shining, Spring is well and truly here thank goodness!

What do you think of my new look blog? It has taken me most of the evening to try and figure it all out. I can't seem to make my blog posts white even though I have saved it as white! I have made the card photos a little smaller but click on the photo to enlarge it.

I loved colouring this sweet image from Cute as a Button called Enjoying the Rain. My sister didn't want this cloud paper so I happily took it as I thought it would go beautifully with the raining images I have. One person's trash is another person's treasure as they say hehe! Lucky me.
