A Summer Smile girly card (Tiddly Inks image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Here's my second Tiddly Inks card for tonight. I also used a background image from elsewhere that I don't think sell images any longer. If anyone's interested in it please contact me and I'll check if it is still available. I used PNG images rather than JPEGs so that I could overlap them. The lovely plaid paper is from Lawn Fawn. I die cut some clouds from glitter foam to add to the card and faux stitched the red border.

Happy Hour Starts Right Now card (Tiddly Inks image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

My two cards I'm posting tonight are both created with summery images from Tiddly Inks. I love this image so much, it really reminds me of holidays which I can only dream about at the moment seeing as it's winter here and we had our big European holiday last year so no more for a while sob sob. 

I added some gold glitter with clear glue onto the "sand" for texture and used my handmade cloud stencil to make the sky. I used the Lawn Fawn die borders for the sand and water layers, also using a wave die too. I then used some Stickles to give the waves a little dimension. The background palm trees are images from Scrapper's Delights, I used PNG images so I could add them into the scene.

Water Boy Birthday card (Tiddly Inks image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

How cute is this little boy from Tiddly Inks? I added some glossy accents to his goggles, arm bands and swim ring. I created the background sky using ink, sponge and a handmade cloud template. I have 2 gorgeous wave dies so I decided to incorporate them both into the scene. 

I used a sun from Flourish with a Bling store. It is part of an "Up in the sky" set.

Girly Thank you card (Tiddly Inks image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

This is my last card for the day and perhaps my favourite. I love this gorgeous image and Christy from Tiddly Inks was giving it away free the other day, I hope you got your free digi too. I coloured her up with copics and used some glossy accents on the flower centres. I inked up the background with oxide inks, lightly sprayed water and then embossed it with my WRMK next level wave embossing folder. To tie the sentiment in with the framed image I added some black cardstock to the centre of a white scrap of card then doodled a similar frame. I used my Lawn Fawn sentiment stamps and dies to finish it off.
