Have a Magical Day (Little Miss Muffet image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Aww, isn't this little magician just so sweet? I turned my card into a triangular type shape by just shaving about 3cm off each top side, it's very easy but I like how this shape turns out for something a bit different. I added some Glossy Accents to the magic ball he's holding and the stars but it's hard to tell in the photo. You can find this sweet boy at Little Miss Muffet. The sentiment is from one of Lawn Fawn's fairy stamp sets.

Girls just wanna have fun - embossed clothing (All Dressed Up images)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Here's my last card for tonight, thank you so much if you've checked all 5 cards out! 

I used an All Dressed Up image set and instead of colouring their outfits with Copics I decided to use silver, white and green embossing powders. I used a fine paint brush and my embossing ink refiller - to carefully paint on the embossing ink one colour at a time, add the powder and heat-set it before doing the next colour. I feel it was half successful in the end but I did have to go around the images with my fine black marker to define the outfits once totally dry. I think practice would make perfect so I will try again in the future.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

A Gem of a Challenge - embossing (heat embossed their outfits)
All Dressed Up - anything goes

AllSorts - embossing (heat embossed their outfits)

As you like it - fave colour - black, I love the sophistication it brings to cards. It also makes the other colours pop.

Come and Get it - make it square

Crafty Catz - anything goes with optional twist: CAS 

Creatalicious -  anything goes with optional for the girls

De Egel - use black

Fab N Funky - lovely ladies

Incy Wincy Designs - clean and simple

Jo's Scrap Shack - anything goes 

Pile it on - interactive and/or Birthday

Polkadoodles - anything goes 

Simon Says Stamp (Wed) - anything goes

No lines Copic colouring card (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I do like to occasionally try different techniques and styles of cards, etc so this time I coloured up another no lines colouring image. To create the "no lines" I just use the editing section in Word to create it. Once I've copied the image into a Word document, I click on it then choose "format" on the top bar, there's a "colour" choice under format, that will give you a dropdown menu of different colours you can change the image to and I'll change it to 25% or 50% (depending on the image) which lightens it to a lighter grey. You can still see the lines a bit on this image so I would have made it 50% lighter. Hope that all makes sense :)
Feel free to email me any questions you may ever have regarding my crafting/cards.
