Make a Wish Fairy card (Wee Stamps image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I haven't created a true shabby chic card for a little while so I thought it was time. I have had this image printed for the longest time and have seen her coloured up so beautifully on other people's cards but I wasn't inspired to colour her myself for some reason. To be honest, I don't think I thought I'd do a very good job of it. But I'm really happy with how she turned out and how the whole card came together. You can find this gorgeous fairy at Wee Stamps. 

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.

Girl on a branch card (Wee Stamps image)

Hi crafty friends,

I have wasted soooo much time trying to get a good photo of this card but for some reason I cannot get everything looking like it does in real life! It's so frustrating, do you ever have that problem? It's happens to me every so often, it must be the colours or something. So I have gone with the photo that shows off the beautiful brown rhinestone flourish and green leaves both of which are from Flourish with a Bling. This meant the papers and image are a bit darker and duller than they are in real life, it looks really whimsical and light IRL. The sweet image is from Wee Stamps.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

A Gem of a Challenge - Children's playtime

Bunny Zoe - For the girls 

Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper - Anything goes with patterned paper  

Deep Ocean - Love is all around

Little Florist Girl (Wee Stamps image)

Hello crafty friends,

I'm back with what I think must be one of my all-time favourite images as this is the 4th time I've created a card with her and it's not often I use the same image twice! I have added the other 3 cards below for comparisons, I think this is my fave (which is good as I should be getting a bit better each time hehe). I added a couple of different laces to the bottom of this and used a leafy die cut as I thought it looked similar to her leaves. You can find this gorgeous image at Wee Stamps. 

 Interesting to see how different they all are (glad they weren't all the same colours etc haha, that would have been embarrassing). The older ones all have a flourish from Flourish with a Bling.

Every product is just $2 this month at Flourish with a Bling  !! All throughout September, everything is $2, no exceptions!! I hope you'll check out our website as we have our own unique products and we post worldwide. Please email if you would like rough estimates of shipping, if we can send it as a large letter we will or perhaps get your friends to all buy too and share the postage! If your order is over $200AUD we will pay half the shipping (international orders) or all the postage for Aussie orders.
