Red, White and Blue girly card

Good morning, here is another card I created yesterday. The image is from Make it Crafty, she's so much fun to colour but is very difficult for my amateur abilities at the same time so please don't look too carefully haha. 

I love this beautiful red flourish from my company, Flourish with a Bling. My business partner/friend Kate designed this flourish and named it after her dog Jessie. It comes in black as well.

Flourish with a Bling are a retail store as well as wholesale so you can buy direct from us now! We have some fantastic themed packs (eg. Bling, vintage, fairy garden, boys, princess etc) at amazing prices, you can check them all out by clicking here. If you mention my blog (Lucy) when ordering we will send you a bonus Jasmine laser flourish!

GDT for Heck of a Challenge

I am thrilled to be guest designing for Heck of a Challenge this month especially as the challenge theme is right up my alley - Spring with butterflies and pearls - Oh, I love everything about that and I'm sure you all do too! 

My card is an easel card and I've coloured in the Make It Crafty image with copics. The oh-so-fabulous pearl flourish is from Flourish with a Bling (named after my daughter Chloe). The Chloe flourish comes in 9 different colours and is a twin pack with extra pearls too! We sell worldwide and if you order and say you've come from my blog we'll add in a free Jasmine laser flourish! (Click on any of the names above to be taken to the websites).

A Birthday card for my sister

I've just finished a card for my sister's Birthday but of course I kept in mind all the challenge criteria I needed to enter a few challenges with it lol. It took quite some time to colour the image with copics but I think she'll like it. Luckily I had already coloured the skin and hair a couple of weeks ago, just needed to decide on colours of the flowers.

FWAB used:

Olive green and mango pearls
