Thank you from the team card (All Dressed Up image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

A lady I know requested a thank you card from her son's soccer team to a kind man who donated some money to their club. I thought this was the perfect image (from All Dressed Up) and she loved it! It's always a bit daunting to make a card that's been requested rather than create whatever you feel like, do you get like that? I always worry it might not be what they expect.



I am entering this card into the following challenges:

All Dressed Up - anything goes
Copic Marker Norge - rough and tough
Creatalicious -  anything goes with optional twist: Halloween
Dream Valley - one for the boys
Inspiration Destination - anything goes 
Just keep on creating - anything goes 
Not Just Cards - anything goes 
Ribbon Girl - any image
Stempelsonne (Stamp Sun) - anything goes

Have a great day, I hope the sun is shining where you are just like it is here :)

Happy 21st Birthday Tahlia (Hannah Lynn/Crafts & Me image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

My girlfriend's gorgeous daughter is turning 21 in a couple of weeks and it's a masquerade party. I found out she's wearing white and gold (the 2 hardest colours to try and colour haha!) so when I saw this new image from Hannah Lynn (find it at Crafts and Me) I just had to buy it and try my best at colouring it to match my friend's daughter. Hopefully you see the image wearing white and gold rather than grey and yellow hehe. I then coloured the background with my black Copic marker. I also used a lot of dies on this card and gold heat embossed on the sentiment/tags. I have a close up below, click on it for extra enlargement.
