Pink floral dog card (Tiddly Inks image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

A very fussy, pink card from me today using a gorgeous little pup image from one of my fave stores, Tiddly Inks. I embossed the clock with a white sparkly embossing powder but it hasn't shown up that well in the photo. I did some light doodling around the image.

Friends are the essence of Life (Bugaboo sentiment)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I made this card using a hot pink Elise flower from my company, Flourish with a Bling. This flower comes in a range of beautiful colours. 

The shape for this card was really easy to make, keeping the bottom part at 15cm and the top at 5cm just so the back of the card is still attached. It does stand up easily (only will be an issue on really shiny surfaces). 

The lovely sentiment is from Bugaboo. I doodled around the sentiment with a Sharpie pen.

This card was in Australian magazine, Love Cardmaking issue 10 along with 5 more of my cards (I've just posted one, will show the rest on my blog in the near future). 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

The Crazy Challenge - black is back

Hi Crafty Friends,

This little sweetie can be found at Little Miss Muffet, I just love how she's cuddling the cute pup and her curly pony tails were so much fun to colour.

Thank you Miss Gowns card (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

As you may have just read on my last blog post, we are getting ready for our 16 year old daughter Chloe to do her Debutante Ball next week. The ladies where we bought her dress were absolutely wonderful and so helpful that we wanted to send a thank you card. So being a bridal/deb dress shop I knew I needed to use a ball gown image and this one from Saturated Canary I thought was perfect. I don't seem to be able to make dresses appear white by using greys like some very clever crafters out there so I decided to give her a pink dress instead hehe. I added some bling to her hair and shabbied up the card. Sometimes businesses deserve recognition don't they so I'm really hoping they like the personalised card made just for them.
