Love Letters card (Make It Crafty image)

Hi Crafty friends,

Here's my second card of the night and this time I have used a Make it Crafty image. I added some antique brown rhinestones in the flower centres on the image but it may be difficult to see in the photo.

Birthday Girl Side Step Card (Make it Crafty image)

So happy to be able to post a card during the week rather than only on weekends lately. I have had a few hours spare to colour and create, my favourite things to do in my spare time.

The pearl flourish and flower are also from Flourish with a Bling.

Happy Birthday Honey Bee card (Lacy Sunshine image & Make It Crafty background image)

Hi Crafty friends,

To all my gorgeous followers that saw my last SC card and I mentioned a mistake, that is so sweet that you all read my post AND it must have been obvious as you all saw I missed colouring the eyes hehe but you were all so lovely about it, I loved reading the comments. 

This little scene is the combination of a Lacy Sunshine  girl and Make it Crafty background, I thought they go well together. I used the PNG file versions of each image so I could add her to the background.

I have used leaves (Jack vine) and a cloud (Up in the sky set) from my company Flourish with a Bling. 

Flourish with a Bling are a retail and wholesale online store. 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.
