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.

A Lovely Mum Card (Art By Miran image)

Hi Crafty friends,

Thank you to my gorgeous followers for still following me, I'm so thrilled to have 264 of you now. The personalised, sweet comments some of you leave me truly makes my day and I want you to know that I treasure every one of them. 

For my card I decided to do a bit of tearing for a change. I'd seen it lately on some of your cards and loved it and hadn't done it myself for quite some time. 

I love this sweet image from Art by Miran, I created with her not so long ago when I was a GDT at Art by Miran (I've added the card below). This time I used part of a fence from Flourish with a Bling (last time I used the tree from Flourish with a Bling).
