Get Well Soon card (CC Designs image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

CC Designs have some of my favourite images, they were one of the first digi/stamp companies I started using, I loved that their hair was in sections, it made it easier to figure out how to shade hair. I love this little fairy nurse, I did actually colour this image a while ago and only now got around to creating a card for it. I love using black, red and white, it's a really striking colour combination isn't it? I used a tiny flower punch to make the flowers and just added a red pearl to their centres. The hearts are from the Lala Land heart banner die.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Cupcake Stand card (CC Designs images)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I haven't created a card like this for quite some time, I thought I'd lost my mojo but this has helped to make me feel better as I think it turned out quite cute. I was inspired by another crafter (Katie K) who made an icecream stand card and she also gave a tutorial on her post so I will give you the link in case you'd like to try it - HERE. I actually made mine a little larger than she did. I printed out these sweet little girls and also extra cupcakes so I could add them to the table. These are little girls from CC Designs (store), originally digital, they don't sell digital anymore but you can get the sitting fairy in rubber form - HERE (direct link to fairy image).

I used toadstools and grass from my company, Flourish with a Bling and made my own flowers from old punches I have. 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

As you like it - fave hair colour combo - Copic markers E29-27-25-23-21, I use these more often than any other colours, they blend well (except one needs a new tip so is giving me a bit of grief at the moment). I love how E29 is so dark yet you can get light highlights of E21.

Fairy on a Swing Card (CC Designs image)

Hi everyone,

Sorry if you're one of my followers and read all my latest posts where they've all been quick and the wording partially copied. As I mentioned, I have to be so quick tonight as it's just gone midnight and I have work tomorrow so I have scooted through these few cards I wanted to post tonight, hope you don't mind.

I used a CC Designs rubber image and layered it up (ie. paper piecing). The branch is flat but the swing and the little girl have been fussy cut out and heightened for that 3D look.
