Fairy and dragon Birthday card (Faery Ink Designs image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I've just changed my blog up a bit so it's easier for you to see the challenge details below, they were red but now I've managed to change them to white.

I printed this Faery Ink Designs image in grey tone rather than black to create a no lines image. I'm still very much practicing this technique so please don't look too closely hehe. After I'd coloured the image I realised I had a couple of colour smudges in the background so that's when I decided to add the blue liquid pearls to hide them and I think it worked really well. As they say, there's no errors with crafting :)

I used some gorgeous Flourish with a Bling - the Chloe pearl flourish and Elise flower. We only need 3 more followers on our blog before we giveaway a lovely prize pack, click HERE to see the prize pack and follow our blog. We also have a DT call.

Lilac & green Spring card (Crafts & Me/Hannah Lynn image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Oh how I love a Hannah Lynn image! Aren't they divine? You can find them at Crafts and Me. I coloured her with my Copics and then coloured a grey background which looked terrible, way too dark as I'd already used darker colours so I fussy cut her out and added lots of white to my card as it's supposed to be a Springtime card. I used greens for her hair (YG91-99 plus YG03).

The Little Purple Mermaid (Lacy Sunshine image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Isn't this a beautiful little mermaid from Lacy Sunshine? She was so sweet to colour and I created the sky background using a few copics - greys and blues. I have had rub-ons for so many years and not used them in so long I decided to see if they still worked hehe so the white parts on the background paper are actually all white rub-ons, I quite like how it turned out, gave more interest to the background paper I think. The silver frame was a cheap pack of them in a dollar type store, I just added my sentiment instead of a photo.
