I had a challenge for a magazine of creating 7 cards with one 30x30cm sheet of patterned paper. So you will recognise this navy and teal paper over the next month when I post the other cards, they are all very different cards so I was happy with my creations. 

I used some beautiful flowers from Flourish with a Bling, my company, click on our name to go to our store if you'd like to check them out. I used a Martha Stewart butterfly punch and a few Prima flowers too.

Dorothy and Toto girly card (Crafts & Me/Hannah Lynn image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Who doesn't love The Wizard of Oz movie? I grew up watching it every Christmas in England (I live in Australia now) and I just adored it. So when I saw this gorgeous Dorothy & Toto image from Crafts and Me (Hannah Lynn is the artist) I just had to have it. I got to use some Tim Holtz film strips which I haven't used very often. I printed the image at 75% so that it wasn't a completely black outline. I also coloured her dress blue and then doodled checks on it in white.

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.

I'm a Guest Designer at 613 Avenue Create!

I am delighted to be a guest designer at 613 Avenue Create this week, they have an awesome challenge blog that if you're not already following, head over and join up.

Their sponsors this week are The Paper Shelter and Dr Digi and the challenge is "Create your own challenge", how fun is that!! I have chosen "Use blue and pink" for my challenge and have used a gorgeous image from The Paper Shelter. I thought seeing as she was on a swing I should cut her out and use some foam tape to make her look more 3D. I decided to have her swinging from a beautiful vine from Flourish with a Bling.

Cali girl card

One of my favourite artists is Hannah Lynn, this is one of her images (image name is Cali Girl), isn't she a beauty? You can buy them at Crafts & Me (click on name to be taken to the store).

I am also using a favourite embellishment on this card too, a Flourish with a Bling Jack vine in olive green. It also comes in green, forest green and black (click on red name to be taken to the store). I made the background paper with cardstock, texture paste, ink and a brick wall template. It's very difficult to see it's a "brick" feature on this card as I have layered over most of it but I like the overall shabby/distressed effect. 

Flourish with a Bling are a retail store as well as wholesale so you can buy direct from us now! We have some fantastic themed packs (eg. Bling, vintage, fairy garden, boys, princess etc) at amazing prices, you can check them all out by clicking here. If you mention my blog (Lucy) when ordering we will send you a bonus Jasmine laser flourish!
