Purple, green and blue thank you card

Hi Crafty Friends,

I've had some papers forever and not known quite how to create with them. Lately I've been creating strips of the papers and adhering them to a scrap piece of paper then faux stitching on the joins. I love how these turn out. Let me know if anyone wants me to take photos of the process I do as it's really simple but I think it looks really effective, hopefully you think so too. 


I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Crafty Catz - anything goes with option of pretty
Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper -  anything goes with patterned paper
Creative Inspirations - anything goes 
Cute Card Thursday -  anything goes

Have a lovely weekend,

Make your own magic unicorn card (The Greeting Farm image)

Hi crafty friends,

I just love unicorns and these unicorns from The Greeting Farm are just some of the sweetest going around I think. I coloured it with my Copics using pink shades then just added a little Y11 for the hair highlights and on the body and I feel like it looks like it has a bit of a glow, I wish I had added some yellow "sun" somewhere in the clouds, I think that would've looked great. Next time hey hehe? I used the lovely Lawn Fawn stitched cloud borders and I think the plaid paper is also Lawn Fawn. I added some silver stars that I've had in my stash for about 10 years lol, I'm happy I was able to use them on this card.

Let's Celebrate - Masked Fairy card (Faery Ink Designs image)

Hi crafty friends,

How lovely is this beautiful image from Faery Ink Designs? They were giving it away free (may still be doing so, click on their name to find out more). I used a background paper from The Paper Shelter and added her (in black & white) to the background before printing it (using a PNG format). I added some Wink of Stella and also some Glossy Accents to her wings. I made the background patterned papers with a new stencil and some Distress Oxide Inks. 

My flourish is from Flourish with a Bling - which is my company that is sadly closing down very soon - great news is that we're selling everything off as cheap as it can get! Some items are only $1! This flourish is called the Luke flourish, we have very unique items that we designed ourselves so I hope you'll go check the store out, we ship worldwide.

I love this sweet girl from Tiddly Inks. I used some border and cloud dies from Lawn Fawn.





I am entering this card into the following challenges:

As you like it - flora or fauna - this was a difficult decision but I've chosen flora as I love adding flowers and scenery to my cards so I'd say I use flora more often. I've used a lot of sponsor's products on this card.

Thank you with all my heart card

Hi Crafty Friends,

Here's another card I made for a magazine commission - I was asked to make 2 cards focusing on pearls. This was easy for me as I actually designed this pearl flourish, it's named after my daughter, Chloe. You can find it in 9 colours at Flourish with a Bling - we're closing the business shortly so everything is only $2 each, this set is 2 flourishes plus some extra pearls (see picture below). The magazine this card was in was Love Cardmaking issue 17 (Australia).
