Welcome to Motherhood Card (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty friends,

I created this card for my cousin's daughter who is about to have a baby soon and I thought this Saturated Canary image was perfect for a baby shower. I embellished my card with papers and stickers from a Bo Bunny kit for this card and coloured her with Copics.

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.

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.
