Lilac Birthday Girl Card (Saturated Canary image)

Hi crafty friends,

Happy Halloween! It's going to be a hot 30 degrees here in Oz for trick or treating tonight, bit different to other parts of the world that are cooling down now isn't it? 

Its been a little while since I have created a Saturated Canary card but they are some of my favourite images so it was about time. I have used part of a flourish (Jasmine lilac puffy flourish) and pearls from Flourish with a Bling.

We have brand new flowers in a rainbow of colours at Flourish with a Bling and to celebrate we are selling them at only $2 a pack (rrp $3) for this month only. Click on our name to go to our online store and check out all of our gorgeous products.

Happy Birthday Mermaid card (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi crafty friends,

Me again hehe, and this time I have gone against all the Autumn and Halloween themed papers and opted to do one last Summer card (although here in Oz we're coming up to Summer soon so maybe I'll do more in a couple of months' time).

I have used a sweet mermaid from The Paper Shelter, I have had her coloured for ages as I had some papers I was inspired to use with her but it had black in them and in the end I have only used the polka dot/floral paper on the card! Sometimes it works that way doesn't it where you're moving everything about but it still doesn't look right and you have to start from scratch. I'm now happy with how it turned out.

I have used pearls, the lovely sun and you can just see some of the orange puffy flourish I have used under the netting, these items are all from Flourish with a Bling. 

We have brand new flowers in a rainbow of colours at Flourish with a Bling and to celebrate we are selling them at only $2 a pack (rrp $3) for this month only. Click on our name to go to our online store and check out all of our gorgeous products.

You Belong Among the Flowers card (The East Wind image)

Hi everyone,

I love this beautiful image from The East Wind, isn't she so flowy and dreamy? While colouring her hair, one of my brown copics decided to over flow and created a huge blob hence the fussy cut design hehe, I feel lucky it didn't ruin the image as I was almost finished colouring her when it happened. I have glittered up her skirt so have shown a close up below that shows the shimmer. 

I used a couple of gorgeous flowers and a pearl coloured flourish (called Jasmine Laser) from my company Flourish with a Bling, for this card, I hope you'll visit my online store as we have all our products priced at $2 for June.
