Red White & Blue Girl card (Hannah Lynn image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Happy 4th of July to my American friends, I hope you've had a fabulous day!

I thought I'd create a red, white and blue card with stars in respect of the USA holiday. I sliced up 3 papers into strips and adhered them onto scrap paper. I then used red, white and blue gel pens to make some faux stitching.

The beautiful image was created by Hannah Lynn and I'm not sure if you can buy them anymore sadly. I have many of her images and I thought about you Bunny when I printed this up to colour, as I know you love seeing the Hannah Lynn images coloured up on my cards :)

A Witch, a lantern & a full moon Halloween card (Crafts & Me/Hannah Lynn image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I loved creating this background after watching my favourite Youtuber - Vicky Papaioannou creating a glowing moon. Here's a link to her card - HERE, it's amazing and it's easier than you'd think, I think mine turned out pretty cool and this was my first attempt. I used oxide inks for the background and stamped some leafy stamps to give the impression she's walking through the great outdoors. The stunning image is from Crafts and Me/ Hannah Lynn is the artist.
