My daughter turns 17 Birthday card (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I made this card for my daughter who's just turned 17. The image is from The Paper Shelter and I thought it perfect for my daughter who loves fashion, make up and shoes. I printed out a couple of extra shoes to colour and fussy cut out to add to the card. I also added a beautiful shimmering teal flourish from Flourish with a Bling.

Zoe's 17th Birthday card (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

My daughter's friend Zoe is turning 17 tomorrow and so Chloe gave me a list of what she wanted on the card (ie. red hair, green/hazel eyes, lots of make up and fake tanned skin to look like Zoe). The other request was to make the card pink and black, and I thought "ooh, not sure how this will go with red hair" but I love how it turned out and wouldn't be scared to use these colour combinations again now. 

I die cut some sparkly black stars, I used Glossy Accents on her lips, bangles, and earrings. I also added some Wink of Stella to her cap but it's not easy to see on the photo. You can find the sassy little image at Saturated Canary. I just bought some new Saturated Canary images on the weekend so I'll be posting a few new cards soon :)

Music Boy card (Bugaboo Stamps image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have a craft market on this week where I'll be selling my cards and I know I don't have many boy cards in comparison to girly ones so thought I better do a couple of extra ones. But the next 3 cards I have to show you are all super girly oops hehe.

This little guy comes from Bugaboo, I thought he'd look cool sitting on a brick wall. I thought it needed a little extra something so I doodled the black & white outline around the image, it's very easy to do. Just draw 2 wavy lines then draw lines inside it and colour every second box in black!
