Especially for you easel card

Hi and thanks for checking out my card today.

I had such fun colouring this gorgeous digi from Crafts & Me, the artist is Hannah Lynn and she has the most amazing images especially if you love colouring hair. I used copic markers, 4 different coloured browns for her hair and didn't blend the colours as much as I usually do for a more streaky effect. Scroll down for a close-up image.

The oh-so-divine vine is from Flourish with a Bling and so are the olive green pearls. We have lots of beautiful cardmaking and scrapbooking products all designed by myself and 2 of my best friends (also my business partners) so I hope you'll go check out our website, we sell worldwide and if you mention you came from my blog in your order "comments" section we'll send you a free Jasmine laser flourish with your order!

Flourish with a Bling

Tiddly Inks Witch/Fairy card

Hi, This is one of two Halloween cards I've made today. The gorgeous witch is from Tiddly Inks, I just bought her yesterday and couldn't resist colouring her straight away! I doodled the spider and web (I practised on a scrap piece first as I'm not much of an artist) but it seemed to go well with the image and was very easy to do.

FWAB used:

Jack black small vine

Kate's corner flourish black rhinestone (part of)
