Hi Crafty Friends,

Thank you so much for dropping by to see my card, I have used a gorgeous Noah's Ark style image from Di's Digis. I tried my hand at masking on this card, I printed the image out twice, once on the colour blending paper and once on a normal sheet of paper for cutting out. I then lightly stuck the thin paper image over the top of my freshly coloured in image and using my homemade cloud template lightly brushed ink to make the clouds. I coloured the water and then added some texture paste for the sea foam.

Shell Collecting Girl Card (Cute As A Button image)

This card is for sale:     $8 AUS       $6 US     5 EUR      4 GBP

(see bottom of post for how to buy and postage info)

Hi Crafty Friends,

How lovely is this image from Cute as a Button? I have distressed and inked the edges of most of the papers and embossed the bluey/lilac paper with one of my embossing folders that has just been sitting around collecting dust, not good when I just "HAD" to have it so badly 6 months ago! Do you also do that, buy something and then not use it?

 I have used a combo of pearls and the lilac flower are all from Flourish with a Bling.

Hi Crafty Friends,

Blue Rose Birthday Card (Bugaboo Stamps image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I made this card for my lovely Nan who lives in England and is 92 years old this Birthday. Her favourite colours are pink and blue so I printed this flowery image in blue and found papers to match.

Walking on Sunshine Card (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I hope you're all enjoying the start of your weekend.

I thought I would try something new for me which is printing the image straight onto my card front. I have seen others do it before and it looks great but I'm not quite so thrilled with mine. The photo shows the card looking very wonky but it isn't. I couldn't leave the background white so I inked yellow around the card. The image is from Saturated Canary.

No Lines Little Girl Card (Ppinky Dolls image)

This card is for sale:   $8 AUS       $6 US     5 EUR      4 GBP

(see bottom of post for how to buy and postage info)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have been creating up a storm recently, it feels so great to have a bit of extra time to craft again. 

This is the first time I have coloured up a Ppinky Dolls image and I must admit I was a little worried as I'm a little heavy-handed with my Copics sometimes and these images require more of a delicate touch so I am very proud of my restraint hehe. I used an embossing folder that I just received as a bonus with a magazine and I think it has to be one of my favourites, I love it! I have used 2 lovely flowers from Flourish with a Bling.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Bunny Zoe - Summer breeze

Dream Valley - Embossing

Incy Wincy Designs - Summer lovin'
