3 Little Witches (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I am loving creating Halloween cards this year, especially since I've bought almost all the Tim Holtz oxide inks, creating backgrounds with them is so much fun! The fun little witches are from Saturated Canary. I also added some black Jessie flourishes from Flourish with a Bling - I cut them up so they just poked out the sides of the image, perfect for Halloween projects. They're on sale at half price at the moment along with everything in the store during October only, click HERE to go check out our store.

Get Well Soon card (CC Designs image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

CC Designs have some of my favourite images, they were one of the first digi/stamp companies I started using, I loved that their hair was in sections, it made it easier to figure out how to shade hair. I love this little fairy nurse, I did actually colour this image a while ago and only now got around to creating a card for it. I love using black, red and white, it's a really striking colour combination isn't it? I used a tiny flower punch to make the flowers and just added a red pearl to their centres. The hearts are from the Lala Land heart banner die.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Aloha Fridays - fairytale/fantasy - she's a fairy

Super Dad Father's Day card (Kenny K sentiment)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I made this card for my hubby for Father's Day from our kids, yes they should have made one themselves but I guess because it's my hobby they always leave it to me! I used a gorgeous sentiment stamp from Kenny K but I think they may have closed down now sadly. I used black cardstock and die cut some stars out of it and then glued in yellow and red stars so some are flat on the card and some are stuck on top of the black cardstock (if that makes sense hehe??) I coloured in the image and I printed it out in blue.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Crafter's Cafe - boys will be boys

Fairytale Challenges - men only

Glitter & Sparkle - anything goes  

Incy Wincy Designs - photo inspiration - inspired by the yellow and red

Back to school card (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I made a back to school card today using a really sweet image from The Paper Shelter. I have used her before so I've added the card below. I didn't compare or remember what I created last time and now I've found the photo I see I've almost used the same colours on her just the opposite way round, how funny! I added some turquoise rhinestones to the punched borders. I coloured her hair with my favourite Copic hair combination E21, 23, 25, 27 and 29.
