A little dog celebrates Easter card (Pink Gem Designs image)

Hi crafty friends,

I have a few cards to post today, I hope you enjoy seeing what I've created for Easter and numerous other occasions.

I'm not usually one for clean and simple cards, I absolutely love other crafters' CAS cards but I have trouble as I always want to add more hehe.

I coloured up a gorgeous pup from Pink Gem Designs. I did some masking for this card and then blended some distress oxide inks for the background and inked up the chipboard easter eggs with the same inks. I've made a card with this image before so I always like to add them below to show how different they can be on different cards.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

A Gem of a Challenge -  Easter time (Pink Gem Designs image)

Copic Marker Norge - moodboard - inspired by the eggs 

C.R.A.F.T. -  spring/Easter

Creatalicious - anything goes with optional: Birthday  

Creative Inspirations -  any occasion 

Cutie Pie - Spring cuties

Deep Ocean - Easter / Spring 

Incy Wincy Designs - No more than 3 colours (excl B&W) - red, orange, brown

Have a great day,

XOX Lucy

A Little Girl's 5th Birthday (Pink Gem Design image and Scrapper's Delight background)

Hi Crafty Friends,

My second and final card to show for tonight and this time I did some experimenting again. This time creating a background with Scrapper's Delights png images and then adding a Pink Gem Designs png black and white image to colour with my copics. This is a lot of fun to create the background this way, I wanted the little girl sitting on a swing so I made it the perfect size for her and then added the fence, plants, sky, butterflies etc. Have you tried this? Scrapper's Delights have kits with 100's of different items in them so every use is unique. 

I used one of my lesser used dies to make the card shape and I haven't used my polaroid and film dies so this was a great opportunity to use them together.

Circle Easter card (Pink Gem Designs image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

If you're one of my lovely followers you will have just seen my shabby chic style Easter card and now in contrast, I have created a bright clean cut Easter card. This image is so beautiful don't you think? You can find her at Pink Gem Designs. This card was a little fiddly as I used many die cuts and then with the scene circle I made it by: sticking down the sky and hills to a previous circle die cut and then putting it through the die cutting machine again. I hope this makes sense. The gorgeous green pearls are from Flourish with a Bling.
