I Miss You card (Saturated Canary image)

Hi everyone,

Here's my second (and last) card today, this one is using a gorgeous image from Saturated Canary. I fussy cut her and the flowers/ground out to add her to this beautiful patterned paper. I was really pleased with how it came out until my sister pointed out there is an upside down bird on the papers which made him look like he'd died, oh dear. So if you see the card below that's how it looked so I had to add some butterflies over him hehe. I also decided to change the sentiment as I used dimensional magic on the other one and the writing ended up a bit blurred from it.

I have also used pearls from my company, Flourish with a Bling. We are having a fantastic sale this month - 50% off!! This includes everything except the value packs so I hope you'll go check out our website (click here) and see if you can't live without some of our gorgeous products hehe.

10th Birthday card (LOTV image)

Hi everyone,

I'm back with my second card of the night and this one is using a gorgeous topper from Lili of the Valley, isn't he so sweet?

I'm a Guest Designer at Elisabeth Bell's World (Elisabeth Bell image)

Hi everyone,

I am very honoured to be a guest designer at Elisabeth Bell's World this month. Their challenge is "Lots of flowers" so I have used some floral paper as well as flower embellishments and flowers in the little scene of the gorgeous image. This sweet girl is called Merry Weather and I have been admiring cards created with her for a long time. I printed her out a couple of times so I could fussy cut and paper piece most of her, the only original pieces of the image are the scenery and her back foot! You can take a closer look on the photo below. I used a homemade cloud template and blue chalk for the cloudy sky.
