Blue Haired Girl (Crafts & Me/Hannah Lynn image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

My last card tonight and I think this blue-haired girl is such a stunner. I didn't think I was going to find any papers to match her as the blue is so bright but I was lucky enough to find a piece in my scraps box, my lucky day it would seem hehe. I doodled with my white paint pen some "stitching" and I have used some gorgeous FWAB products - Blue Chloe Flourish and light blue Maddison flower. The image can be found at Crafts and Me under Hannah Lynn images.

Flourish with a Bling is selling all their products for $2 each this month, that's more than half off most products!! I hope you'll check out our website as we have our own unique products and we post worldwide.

Lilac & Blue Birthday card

Hi crafty friends,

I know what you're thinking, is this a Lucy card, it certainly doesn't look like one hehe! You are not seeing things, I do realise there is no coloured cutie on my card, I created this for my Stepmum and I thought she'd appreciate this better. The Birthday sentiment is a stamp and I used a stencil as a mask and sprayed to make the background. I have used a gorgeous Maddison lilac flower from Flourish with a Bling who are having a huge sale, please see below for links and details. 

I have some of my usual style cards coming straight after this post :)

Black & pink Birthday Girl (Crafts & Me/Hannah Lynn image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Take a look at the mess I made of this image! I was blissfully colouring her hair in black and greys then took my hand away to see I had smeared black copic ink all over her pretty face! I sat dumbfounded for a couple of minutes wondering if I should throw the whole thing away but then decided this was a test of my craftiness hehe. 

So I printed her out exactly the same size, coloured just her face then fussy cut the original image and glued her "hair" carefully onto the new image and voila, good as new!! Instead of keeping this my "dirty" little secret (pardon the pun haha), I decided to share with you all so that if it ever happens to you, you know all is not lost.

Now onto my card and this stunning image comes from Crafts and Me, the artist is Hannah Lynn. These papers are from Bo Bunny, my favourite paper company.

Here's another card I have created with this image:

Elegant lady card (A Day for Daisies image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Isn't this a beautiful image, she was so much fun to colour as she's so elegant! A Day for Daisies is where you can find her and a couple more similar to this image. I thought I would add some chipboard hanging "jewels" and keep the card fairly simple but elegant like her.
