Birthday Fairy card (Scrapper's Delights image)

Me again,

Last time tonight and this card was made using a gorgeous fairy from Scrapper's Delights. The lovely fence and pearls are from Flourish with a Bling and  I think the clock chipboard is from Scrapmatts. I glittered the clock which has come out really beautifully in real life. I wound the flowers around it.

Close up of the sparkles:

Birthday Princess card (The East Wind image)

Hi everyone,

Isn't this a gorgeous image from The East Wind? She is perfect for a girly teenager's card especially as she has earphones in just like my 14 year old daughter always has! I glitter embossed around the image and on the chipboard corner and tags as well as her top, skirt and flowers in her hair. Yes, I went crazy with glitter on this card hehe. 

The pink flower is a big secret and not available until next month but we'll call this a sneak preview hehe. It's going to come in a lot of beautiful colours and they are exclusive to my company, Flourish with a Bling. We have a huge sale on at the moment, see below for details.

I am a guest designer at Ladybug Crafts Ink's final challenge (Ladybug Crafts Ink image)

Hi everyone,

This card is dedicated to Kerry at Ladybug Crafts Ink for a few reasons. Kerry is the owner of LCI and this is her final challenge as she is closing the doors on her online store and challenge blog :(. I will miss her terribly as she is such a wonderful lady who I have been in contact with since I first started my blog a few years ago. This is one of her gorgeous digi images and she has a huge sale on for this last month - cling stamps are just $1 each and 30% off everything else (except crystals). 

The challenge (which you can find HERE) is to use one of your favourite images and it can be from any stamp company, I hope you'll join in to make this last challenge a huge one for Kerry.

I have also used a gorgeous burgundy Jasmine laser flourish from my company Flourish with a Bling who are also having a huge sale - $2 storewide (most items are usually RRP $5!!) so more than 50% off most of our products!
