Lilac & green Spring card (Crafts & Me/Hannah Lynn image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Oh how I love a Hannah Lynn image! Aren't they divine? You can find them at Crafts and Me. I coloured her with my Copics and then coloured a grey background which looked terrible, way too dark as I'd already used darker colours so I fussy cut her out and added lots of white to my card as it's supposed to be a Springtime card. I used greens for her hair (YG91-99 plus YG03).

I'm Batty over you card for my husband (Crafts & Me/Hannah Lynn image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have some exciting news - I've started up a new blog for my embellishments company, I hope you'll come follow the new blog at Flourish with a Bling blog. We are giving away a prize pack once we have 50 followers and for every 50 followers after that - so if you're one of the first 50 you get a chance to win every time we get more followers! Please tell your friends too so you get to win quicker haha! We also have a freebie offer there too and lots of Valentine's Day inspiration.

I made this card for my darling husband for Valentine's Day, I hope he loves it. It's supposed to be me haha (I personally wouldn't cuddle a bat, I have a little more weight than this but otherwise spitting image haha, blue eyes, brown hair, it's all about how you see yourself isn't it!?!) 

This was my first time creating a nighttime background with full moon and clouds with Copic markers, it took a while and I got very worried I'd ruined the picture for a bit and it finally came together okay so I would try it again some time, practice, practice...

Ice Princess card (Crafts & Me/Hannah Lynn image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I printed this gorgeous image from Hannah Lynn (Crafts and Me) in a washed out shade (about 25%) so I could try my hand at no lines colouring. I have only done this a few times before but I feel like practice makes perfect so I must keep trying. I can't believe how beautifully some people can do this technique on Youtube, I love watching the videos. With the background of the image I just went around her flicking out with my black Copic marker but not all the way to the edge of the circle and then I used a pink Copic marker to flick inwards from the circle edge. I added some white gel pen to give the impression her dress is sparkling.
