Welcome baby bear scene card (Bugaboo image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I made this card for a magazine commission which was baby themed. I inked up the background sky with distress oxide inks and used Lawn Fawn die cuts to create the grass and flower background. The cute little image is from Bugaboo and I punched out a few little butterflies to finish the card.

It's a Harry Potter Birthday card (Bugaboo image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I know, I know, if you've just come from my last cards you'll see this is my second wizard boy card which isn't usually my style but Cupcake Inspirations blog has a witches and wizards challenge and I thought I'd finally colour up these 2 gorgeous little wizards that I have in my stash. This was a relatively easy card to make, randomly cutting papers on a slant to add to the background and then adding some thin green cardstock to give some extra colour to the background. The cute digi comes from Bugaboo, I added some polka dots to his outfit and punched out some stars.

Up Up and Away Birthday Boy card (Bugaboo image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I love this little image from Bugaboo and I just thought he'd be so cute floating above the tree tops near clouds. I die cut my sun out of some scrap paper so I could use the negative part to make a stencil and ink it up. I used a couple of different shades of green distress inks and then die cut the trees from it.

Ice cream delivered with love (Bugaboo image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

This little girl with her over-sized ice cream is a bit cute isn't she? The image comes from Bugaboo. I used some texture paste and a stencil to create the background pattern, while it was wet I added some glitter to it then once dry I lightly hairsprayed it (apparently this can help with glitter staying put). Very clean and simple card for me, I coloured the image ages ago but hadn't got around to creating with it until now. 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Artistic Inspirations -  anything goes with optional twist: make it funny

Aud Sentiments - for a child plus sentiment
