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.

Little Girl on bicycle Birthday Card (Magnolia image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I hope you're all well.

I had seen some Youtube videos on colouring sky with clouds and decided to give it a try. I quite often create my own sky but mostly by using my chalks and a homemade cloud template. I was quite pleased with how it turned out for my first try. The image is from Magnolia and the toadstools and pearl flourish are from Flourish with a Bling. The pearl flourish was white and I coloured them with my copics to match her dress.

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.
