Raspberry Brick House card (Zuri Artsy Craftsy)

Friends are the essence of Life (Bugaboo sentiment)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I made this card using a hot pink Elise flower from my company, Flourish with a Bling. This flower comes in a range of beautiful colours. 

The shape for this card was really easy to make, keeping the bottom part at 15cm and the top at 5cm just so the back of the card is still attached. It does stand up easily (only will be an issue on really shiny surfaces). 

The lovely sentiment is from Bugaboo. I doodled around the sentiment with a Sharpie pen.

This card was in Australian magazine, Love Cardmaking issue 10 along with 5 more of my cards (I've just posted one, will show the rest on my blog in the near future). 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

The Crazy Challenge - black is back

Creatalicious - anything goes

Creative Inspirations - fab flowers

Deep Ocean - anything new - new shaped card for me

Digi Choosday - anything goes

The Little Purple Mermaid (Lacy Sunshine image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Isn't this a beautiful little mermaid from Lacy Sunshine? She was so sweet to colour and I created the sky background using a few copics - greys and blues. I have had rub-ons for so many years and not used them in so long I decided to see if they still worked hehe so the white parts on the background paper are actually all white rub-ons, I quite like how it turned out, gave more interest to the background paper I think. The silver frame was a cheap pack of them in a dollar type store, I just added my sentiment instead of a photo.
