A Birthday Girl in Europe card (All Dressed Up image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have a few cards to show tonight. 

It still feels like winter here as Spring is only just starting, I can't wait for the warmer weather but I feel I can't complain about our cold weather when Hurricane Irma is destroying parts of the beautiful Caribbean and on it's way to Florida, I hope none of you are being affected by it.

On a happier note, I created this card for my gorgeous UK friend who holidays in Spain all the time and is going again for her birthday this month. This scene and girl reminded me of her, you can find it at All Dressed Up. Instead of colouring with my copics I used my distress inks watered down.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Card Mania - shabby chic or rustic

Beachy Best Wishes card (Hannah Lynn/Crafts & Me image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I've been out of action a little this month but I'm back now and I'm loving every second creating again. I bought myself a new craft desk and I feel much more organised.

The three cards I'm posting today are very different from each other, I hope you like them all, this is very muted, girly and a little mature/shabby, the other is very cute and bright using distress oxide inks and then I have another girly card but it's bright and cheery.

This gorgeous image is from Hannah Lynn at Crafts and Me, I have created with her once before so I've added the card below. I used some stamps and dies from a free magazine set, that would be the shells, starfish and seahorse. I coloured the girl with Copics. The papers are from Kaisercraft.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Aloha Fridays -  anything goes with optional twist: summer

As you like it - fave embellishment and why - lace because it adds some dimension to a card as well as always turning a card into a more feminine delicate creation which I love.
