This card was made with a Doodle Pantry image which I love and found really easy to colour with copics. The ticket stub is a digi image from Delightful images. The grass is from Flourish with a Bling and comes with many gorgeous toadstools, click HERE to check them out (if you order, tell them you came from my blog and we'll send you a Jasmine laser flourish as a bonus).

Be Yourself card

Hi crafty friends, I am sorry I've been out of action on my blog for a week but I was away for a few days at a wedding (interstate) and then of course trying to catch up with everything, it takes a while and yet I was itching to start cardmaking again! I have my Auntie's 60th Birthday today so we're about to go out for lunch shortly, so I made her this card using a Doodle Pantry digi. I don't have my camera at the moment so I must apologise for the blurry photo, it was taken on my Iphone. Unfortunately I won't be able to take a better one as I'm giving it to her today.

FWAB used:

Elise flourish and flower, Jack black vine leaves
