Lilac Happy Birthday Girl Card (Make It Crafty image)

Hi everyone,

Me again, this time with a card using a Make it Crafty digi image. I tried to be much lighter handed with my colouring this time, hoping to get some creases and folds in her clothing.

I used a couple of gorgeous flowers from Flourish with a Bling.

Sassy Beach Girl Scenery Card (Jade Dragonne image)

Hi everyone,

Hope you've all had a great week. I have had a busy couple of days creating, lucky me so I have many cards to blog over the next week so if I'm short and sweet it's because I'm so time poor hehe.

I coloured and fussy cut this gorgeous Jade Dragonne image out and ripped some gold glitter paper to make some "sand dunes". The sand is a little higher than I would have liked in the end but it was too late once I realised as the glue had well and truly stuck! I have added a sun from Flourish with a Bling's Up in the Sky set which also comes with clouds and rain/water drops.
