Elisabeth Bell lounge room card

Hi there, Paper Crafting Journey have just started their latest challenge and it's one of my favourites - Pearls and swirls. The sponsor is none other than the fabulous Elisabeth Bell therefore we got to play with an Elisabeth Bell image this time round. Straight away this gorgeous crafty girl image felt like it should be part of a little scene and I have wanted to try making "wallpaper" on a card for ages as so many designer papers have a wallpaper pattern to them. I made the little frame and plant pot with some wood-printed paper and distressed their edges. 

The beautiful pearl flourish and "plant" (part of the Jack vine set) is from Flourish with a Bling and you can buy them HERE.

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!

Saturated Canary Lovely card

Hi everyone, I have created a card with Saturated Canary's "Lovely" image, isn't she gorgeous? I cropped her as she's full length and I wasn't feeling in a particularly confident mood when I printed her lol. Her dress is absolutely beautiful but I really struggle with "creases" so I decided to colour just her top half for my first time colouring her. 

The gorgeous shabby chic pink peg is from Pin and Tack, what a lovely prize it was, the pegs came in a lovely little basket too. They sell them HERE. The metal cornices, filmstrip and shabby heart came from Live and Love Crafts and the pearl flourish is from Flourish with a Bling and you can buy it HERE.

You are a Hoot! card

Hi there,

I have just recently used this cute owl from Limited Runs but in a completely different way. Here I have made him 3D by fussy cutting parts of him and using foam dots. I doodled around the circle and banner. Please ignore the glue as it wasn't set when I photographed this and now my photos aren't coming out as clear as this one (it's winter here as of tomorrow so it's gloomy outside). 

The gorgeous variety of coloured pearls and the fence are from Flourish with a Bling.
