An orange summer garden card (Magnolia image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I am having a terrible time trying to take nice, natural photos of my cards at the moment as it's winter here in Australia and not a sun ray in sight! So making the best of it for now and may take a better photo when and if the sun comes out tomorrow (I sound like Orphan Annie don't I haha).

I used a lovely Magnolia image for this card and a Lawn Fawn sun die which is one of my faves. This card is a really easy shape to create but I like how it looks. Keep the fold at the top then evenly cut both sides on an angle to make the triangle leaving enough gap at the top so the card still has a steady fold. It stays up nicely still too.

Having a drink for your Birthday (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

You can really tell it's winter here in Oz by the horrible colours my cards are turning out in photos urghhhh lol!! I cannot get a sunny day to take a nice natural photo at all, I'm sure I have a few of you nodding your head having the same issues on miserable weather days.

Anyway, enough grumbling hehe, my card is a Saturated Canary image with pastel colours. I bought a new large flower shaped die at the last craft show, this is the first time I've used it. I added some Liquid Pearls to outline it and add some dots too. I added a little pink bling heart to her hair bow.

A card for a Princess (Julia Spiri image)

A fish for you (Dr Digi image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Oh I loved colouring this guy. My lightest green Copic ran out half way through but I still think he turned out pretty good. I decided to keep the card very clean and simple after I mounted the image onto green cardstock and liked it just as is. So I only added a sentiment and fish charm to finish it off. You can find this great fisherman at Dr Digi's.
