Easter dog with basket of eggs (Pink Gem image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I created a few more cards today and here's the first of 4 I have for you today. I colour the images on different days to when I make the cards usually and that's how I have the time to make quite a few in one day. I like to colour a few images at a time so that when I'm ready to create cards I already have some images ready. You can find this gorgeous pup at Pink Gem Designs.

Stylish Dog Walker (Bugaboo Stamps image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have 3 more cards to show you today. I create in spurts of colouring a few images in one sitting and then another time, creating the cards with the coloured images. I know some crafters prefer to colour and create the card all at one time, I would love to know how you like to do it.

This sassy girl is from Bugaboo, I think she's adorable. I love this lace and how you can weave ribbon through it to match the card. The butterfly is a brad.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Crafty Ribbons - summer with ribbon or lace (used both)

Fussy & Fancy Friday - say it with flowers

In the Pink - Lace and pink

Julia Spiri - anything goes with optional twist: garden item (fence)
