Clean and simple card

Good morning, I can't believe I've made two cards in a row without a cute little stamp!! I love doing cutesy cards but I really enjoyed making this clean and simple card which is so not my thing usually lol. I doodled the stitching but the writing is a rub-on, I just doodled underneath it to match.

FWAB used:

Jack vine green leaves

You're too sweet card

Hi, I have made an early Birthday card my darling niece who doesn't turn 4 until February lol, let's hope I remember I have made it when her Birthday arrives. The cute little digi girls are from Tiddly Inks, I used a png file to copy the same girl and flip her then added the sentiments. This was one of my first attempts at using png files instead of jpgs and unfortunately I have forgotten how to do it now :( so if anyone can give some quick advice I'd love to hear it :).

Crafts and Me digi girl card

This my last card for today, hopefully I'll get a chance to make some more this evening as I am really in the mood for cardmaking at the moment, can't stop myself lol!!!! This digi stamp is created by Hannah Lynn and you can find her digis at Crafts and Me UK (see below for link to their challenge and shop). I love colouring these girls and my daughter who's 12 also adores them so they're great for teenage/tween Birthday cards.

This also has been made for a very special challenge - The Crafty Pad (http://thecraftypad.blogspot.co.uk/) who have a special month long challenge for Breast Cancer Awareness. My mum suffered from this dreadful illness a few years ago and has recovered fully thank goodness but this charity stays close to my heart.

This photo shows I've glossed her eyes and lips to make her look a little more realistic. You can use dimensional magic or any clear gloss to have this effect.

Jack black vine leaves
