Easter Girl with Bunnies card (Tiddly Inks image and Scrapper's Delights digital background)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I decided to try something a little different this week. 

I don't often use my beautiful digital products from Scrapper's Delights but I decided to use them making a little scene behind my Tiddly Inks girl. 

Just in case you'd like to know how it works they are all png files which means they can be laid on top of each other in your word doc to create a scene. I created the coloured background and then added the girl, bunnies and sentiment hearts which were all printed black and white. I coloured her and the hearts in as usual and voila! What do you think? I have a couple more similar I have just printed and coloured up so will create with them soon. This seems like a perfect idea for crafters like me that don't always have the time to create such elaborate backgrounds freehand (and couldn't do it very well if I wanted to hehe). I have used this image before and the card is below. I like this one better although the photo doesn't do the original one justice, it was really cute if I do say so myself lol. 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

A Gem of a Challenge - Spring

Aud Sentiments -  Easter or Spring sentiment

Creative Inspirations - Pretty projects

Cute Card Thursday - Lace or ribbon

Inspiration Destination - Anything goes

Blue Dancing Couple card (Scrapper's Delights image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I love this time of year. It's summer here in Australia, school's just gone back, Valentine's day is coming, our footy season is about to start, my Birthday is in Feb which means crafty pressies yay! Easter is not too far away. So much to be excited about! And when it comes to cardmaking my favourite kinds are Valentine's Day, Spring and Easter - they're all about red and pink and other pretty colours, hearts and flowers, I love it!! But then after saying all that I've gone and made a royal blue card haha!

I cheated with this image (well, not really cheating, I'm not saying I coloured it) as I printed the coloured image instead of the digi. I loved how they coloured it so wanted to see how it would come out. The image is from Scrapper's Delights. Her dress looks so shiny doesn't it, wish I could colour this good!

Flourish with a Bling is selling all their products for $2 each this month, that's more than half off most products!! I hope you'll check out our website as we have our own unique products and we post worldwide.

Clean and Simple Birthday Girl card (Scrapper's Delight image)

Hi everyone,

Here's my last card for tonight, I'm making up for not posting any all week! I love these images from Scrapper's Delights, I have a few similar ones and if you've been following my blog for a while you will have seen a couple more of them over the last few months. I decided on another clean and simple style which is unusual for me but sometimes the image just begs to be shown off hehe. I used a clear glitter pen over her copic markered dress but it's very difficult to see in the photo.

Flourish with a Bling have a 50% off sale all throughout May, the only items not discounted are the already amazingingly priced value packs, everything else is half off!!
