Super Girl Mel Saves the Day card (Mari image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I made this card for one of my lovely classmates (I'm currently learning interior decoration and surprisingly my knowledge with making cards has come in handy when it comes to colour combos, design, scale and proportion, etc lol). Anyway, she was so helpful when we were doing a team assignment I just had to say thank you in the best way I know how, make a personalised card! She loved it and said she'd keep it forever so that's always nice to hear :)

I used red glitter paper to die cut the sentiment and stars. The background was created with a stencil and some distress oxide inks.

Let's Celebrate - Masked Fairy card (Faery Ink Designs image)

Hi crafty friends,

How lovely is this beautiful image from Faery Ink Designs? They were giving it away free (may still be doing so, click on their name to find out more). I used a background paper from The Paper Shelter and added her (in black & white) to the background before printing it (using a PNG format). I added some Wink of Stella and also some Glossy Accents to her wings. I made the background patterned papers with a new stencil and some Distress Oxide Inks. 

My flourish is from Flourish with a Bling - which is my company that is sadly closing down very soon - great news is that we're selling everything off as cheap as it can get! Some items are only $1! This flourish is called the Luke flourish, we have very unique items that we designed ourselves so I hope you'll go check the store out, we ship worldwide.
