Water Boy Birthday card (Tiddly Inks image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

How cute is this little boy from Tiddly Inks? I added some glossy accents to his goggles, arm bands and swim ring. I created the background sky using ink, sponge and a handmade cloud template. I have 2 gorgeous wave dies so I decided to incorporate them both into the scene. 

I used a sun from Flourish with a Bling store. It is part of an "Up in the sky" set.

Water fairy card (Faery Ink Designs image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's the International Comedy Festival in Melbourne (Australia) and we've got tickets to see 2 comedians tonight, I'm very excited, I think it will be a great night! So I'm going to rush through these 2 cards as quick as I can, I didn't rush the cards though so I hope you like them.

I've been trying a few mixed media backgrounds lately, it's still new to me so sometimes it's a hit sometimes a bit of a miss but that's the only way to learn by keep trying isn't it? You can find this beautiful fairy at Faery Ink Designs and the water drops are from Flourish with a Bling. I added a little glitter to the water drops but I shouldn't have because they have a much nicer glimmer to them without it. 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

CCC Digi Creations - add some glitter 

Come and Get it - it's a girl thing

Creatalicious - anything goes with option of Birthday

Creative Inspirations - one for the girls 

Cupcake Inspirations - mythical
