Big hugs from a fairy (Di's Digis image)

Hi crafty friends,

Here's another gorgeous digi image I printed out ages ago and have only just got around to colouring and creating with. You can find this lovely fairy at Di's Digis. I used a lot of die cuts for this scene, mostly from Lawn Fawn and some fluffy clouds from Flourish with a Bling.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Aloha Fridays - in the garden

As you like it - single or multi-layer - I definitely find multi-layer easier to create, I always think something is missing if I try clean and simple. I love adding these die cut layers to create a scene.

With Love mouse card (Di's Digis image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I had a challenge for a magazine of creating 7 cards with one 30x30cm sheet of patterned paper. So you may recognise this navy and teal paper over the next month when I post the other cards, a couple are already posted. They are all very different cards so I was happy with my creations and it was less tricky than I expected. 


I used a cloud, grass and some raindrops (up in the sky set) from Flourish with a Bling, my company, click on our name to go to our store if you'd like to check them out. 

The cute image can be found at Di's Digis. I've used it before so have a little photo of my original card below.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

A Gem of a Challenge - add a butterfly

Catch the Bug - anything goes

Copic Marker Norge - winter

Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper - anything goes with patterned paper

Easter wishes shaped card (Magnolia image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Oh it's been a little while since I created a card using a Magnolia image but this is one of my favourite Magnolia stamps, she's just so sweet. I have used her before so I'll add the pictures below, I always like to see how different the cards end up if I've used the image more than once and also if my colouring has improved. I try to usually create with different images every card as I really do have so many, I even have a digi folder titled "not yet used" and I have a fair few in there but I'm a crazy cardmaker so I have used hundreds already hehe. My followers will know how many cards I create!
