Birthday skunk card

Hi there,

How cute is this little guy (and the papers) from Docrafts, he is so sweet with that huge flower in his hand. I added some bling to the flower centre. The beautiful pink pearl flourish and glossy green leaves are from Flourish with a Bling. I printed the sentiment and doodled around it before mounting it on matching papers.

You've put a spell on me card

Me again, hopefully you've just checked out my last card, I'm uploading them both together. I love this witchy image from Stitchy Bear stamps and I've combined the scene with a cute little potion shelf from MeljensI love to always give a shout out to the artist/store that I get my images from and link their names to their stores so it's very easy for you to go check them out. 

I put some glitter in a little bottle which is supposed to look a little like it's fallen off the shelf hehe. I glittered around the edges of the "scene" too, haven't used real glitter like this in a while.

Happy 18th Birthday Tag

Hi Everyone! 

Paper Crafting Journey have a new challenge on, easiest one ever - Anything Goes! Digital Delights are the sponsors this fortnight so make sure to join in if you get a chance.

I have created a tag which looks so much better in real life as the white and black cardstock are sparkly and it was getting dark while taking the photo (and the glue hadn't dried but had to leave for the party so no time to re-photograph before giving to the recipient). I used a Hannah Lynn image from Crafts & Me, they are some of the sweetest images going around especially for teenage cards and tags.
