Autumn Birthday girl card

Hi and hope you're having a wonderful weekend and getting crafty on such a special day, World Cardmaking Day! 

I went crazy and created a couple of cards, one of which is this one using a gorgeous image from Milk Coffee Digis. I paper pieced her dress and gave her a little "path" to walk along, hope you like it. This card took me a long time, I had lost my mojo today but I didn't let it stop me, just had to keep rearranging my papers until I was happy. 

I used pearls from my company, Flourish with a Bling who is having a massive 50% off storewide (only excludes the value packs as they are already amazing value). Please feel free to email and query shipping if you are overseas as we only charge exact postage for international orders and sometimes they can be sent as letters if a small order.

I'm a Guest Designer at 613 Avenue Create!

I am delighted to be a guest designer at 613 Avenue Create this week, they have an awesome challenge blog that if you're not already following, head over and join up.

Their sponsors this week are The Paper Shelter and Dr Digi and the challenge is "Create your own challenge", how fun is that!! I have chosen "Use blue and pink" for my challenge and have used a gorgeous image from The Paper Shelter. I thought seeing as she was on a swing I should cut her out and use some foam tape to make her look more 3D. I decided to have her swinging from a beautiful vine from Flourish with a Bling.

Flourish with a Bling have a 50% off sale all throughout October, the only items not discounted are the already amazingingly priced value packs, everything else is half off!!
