Hi crafty friends,

The beautiful blue flourish is from Flourish with a Bling and comes in 9 different colours (the Chloe is a two pack with extra pearls, see below the card).

Flourish with a Bling are a retail store as well as wholesale so you can buy direct from us now! We have some fantastic themed packs (eg. Bling, vintage, fairy garden, boys, princess etc) at amazing prices, you can check them all out by clicking here. If you mention my blog (Lucy) when ordering we will send you a bonus Jasmine laser flourish! This offer won't last too much longer.

Happy Easter card

Hi friends and crafties,

Today I made a card using what I think is from googling coloring pictures (before I was introduced to digi stamps), if this incorrect I apologise and feel free to let me know where it came from. I coloured the image with copics, I matted the computerised sentiment on ribbon and the papers are Bo Bunny. The large grey bling flower is from Flourish with a Bling.
