Frilly Girl Love (The East Wind image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I received some textured paste for Mother's Day (it was on my wish list) and I have been going crazy with it for a whole week! I am loving using it with my stencils. I added pink distress ink and clear glitter to this chevron stencil. The 2nd photo shows the depth from the side of the card. The beautiful image comes from The East Wind. I die cut the sentiment 3 times and layered it for more depth. I also doubled the heart layers too so they were a little thicker than usual and then added some Mod Podge for gloss. This card is so pretty in real life but because it's been horrible weather I haven't been able to take as good a photos as I usually can.

Thoughts of you on your Birthday (The East Wind image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

My last card for the night and doing something a little different with this one. I fussy cut the image out and made a "table" for her to sit at with her hot cocoa. She looks like she's thinking of someone so I decided to make a little letter to go with her like she's just read it and missing the person. Is this the story you see in the card hehe? This beautiful image is from The East Wind. Well, that's it from me now, I hope you enjoyed seeing all of my cards and wishing you a very crafty weekend!

Swinging Girl card (The East Wind image)

Hi everyone,

I'm sharing 3 new cards I've made, I don't quite know how I manage to get so many done sometimes as I have an office job, a craft business, a family (1 hubby, 2 kids) and a large house to clean! I guess its because this is what I love to do whenever I get a chance. I love to colour while watching my favourite TV shows too.

Speaking of my business, I have created this card using one of our gorgeous trees (named after my hubby - Lee's Tree) and some vine leaves and grass. The grass comes with the tree as a set. Click on our name to be taken to the store if you'd like to check it out (Flourish with a Bling). See the front page of the website for a special deal.

Birthday Princess card (The East Wind image)

Hi everyone,

Isn't this a gorgeous image from The East Wind? She is perfect for a girly teenager's card especially as she has earphones in just like my 14 year old daughter always has! I glitter embossed around the image and on the chipboard corner and tags as well as her top, skirt and flowers in her hair. Yes, I went crazy with glitter on this card hehe.
