I Sea it's your Birthday card (Little Miss Muffet image)

Hi crafty friends,

I made this background with my distress oxide inks, some masking paper and some Nuvo drops/glitter glue. I accidentally got a big yellow ink splodge behind the big cloud hence it's position on the card hehe. This was a new technique for me so definitely some learning curves, crafters on Youtube make it look so easy don't they?? The little boat and sentiment  are from Polkadoodles. The gorgeous beach girl is from Little Miss Muffet. I added some glossy accents to the floatie but you can't see it in the photo.

Make a wish Mermaid card (Polkadoodles image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's been around a couple of weeks since I posted I think but I was busy closing down my craft business so it took a lot of my time, I hope you may have missed me a little bit? I'm back now and I've got loads of cards to show over the coming weeks as I'm more freed up (for now anyway as I'm starting an Interior Design course in 2 weeks, I haven't been to school in about 30 years, yikes lol!)


Anyway, onto my cards now and I love this mermaid from Polkadoodles. She comes pre-coloured, just the background coloured or all black & white. I printed it out with the background coloured as that would take forever to create such a beautiful water look (and I'd never get it looking that good lol) and I coloured just her. I heat embossed some chipboard shells and sea items to give them all a nice colour/shine.

For my card I have used the following Polkadoodles products: 

a mermaid from Meribelle Mermaid and 

sentiment from Winnie Celebrations 1 sentiments.

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.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Aloha Fridays - anything goes with optional twist: congrats
