Skiing by to say Hello (Little Miss Muffet image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I made this background with a circle die, cloud stencil, double sided tape and glitter! I first created the sun with distress oxide inks then covered that up and stenciled some clouds on. I have a wide double sided tape so I added that for the ground and then added glitter to it and it seems to have stayed well :)

I added some pearls to look like snow falling and the adorable bear comes from Little Miss Muffet (no link like I usually do because I couldn't find their old store). If anyone knows a link I'd love a copy of it.

Congratulations on your baby boy (Little Miss Muffet image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Here's my first of 5 cards to show tonight, I've been on holidays this past week or so and I think it shows lol, I can't stop making cards when I'm home and not doing housework! This card I created for a magazine commission, I created the background paper with a lime green copic marker, just roughly making lines across the paper. The die cut green frae was coloured the same way so that all the papers and image were the same colour. The image is from Little Miss Muffet but I haven't added the link like I usually do as the website wasn't up.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

As you like it - Fave baby make - I love creating Baby cards as it's something the parents will keep forever so the child will eventually see it when they're older.

I Sea it's your Birthday card (Little Miss Muffet image)

Hi crafty friends,

I made this background with my distress oxide inks, some masking paper and some Nuvo drops/glitter glue. I accidentally got a big yellow ink splodge behind the big cloud hence it's position on the card hehe. This was a new technique for me so definitely some learning curves, crafters on Youtube make it look so easy don't they?? The little boat and sentiment  are from Polkadoodles. The gorgeous beach girl is from Little Miss Muffet. I added some glossy accents to the floatie but you can't see it in the photo.

Bouncy Girl Birthday Card (Little Miss Muffet image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Oh how I love this girl bouncing away, isn't she adorable? You can find her at Little Miss Muffet. I thought I'd try orange and pink together for a change, not a common colour combo for me.

Circular Hello Girl card (Little Miss Muffet image)

Hi crafty friends,

I have had this gorgeous Little Miss Muffet image coloured up for a while now and I'd accidentally printed her really small. I also didn't leave a huge amount of space around her when I printed her up with other images so I wasn't quite sure how to make her look bigger than she is. Building die cut circles around her and a big sentiment I think has helped and I'm really happy with how it turned out. Next time she'll be a lot bigger hehe. I only used white and black cardstock for this, I used my distress oxide inks to make the blended colours (I think I used Candied Apple and Worn Lipstick).
