I'm Batty over you card for my husband (Crafts & Me/Hannah Lynn image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have some exciting news - I've started up a new blog for my embellishments company, I hope you'll come follow the new blog at Flourish with a Bling blog.

I made this card for my darling husband for Valentine's Day, I hope he loves it. It's supposed to be me haha (I personally wouldn't cuddle a bat, I have a little more weight than this but otherwise spitting image haha, blue eyes, brown hair, it's all about how you see yourself isn't it!?!) 

This was my first time creating a nighttime background with full moon and clouds with Copic markers, it took a while and I got very worried I'd ruined the picture for a bit and it finally came together okay so I would try it again some time, practice, practice...

You can find this utterly gorgeous image at Crafts and Me under Hannah Lynn's images.

The Love Musician (Milk Coffee image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

One of my favourite times of the year to create cards is now, I love creating Valentine's Day, Easter and Spring cards (although it's soon Autumn here in Oz, I go by the challenge themes so Spring it is hehe). 

I wanted to practise colouring clothing folds so I printed this gorgeous image out as it has loads of folds in the dress! I probably chose a tricky colour being black but I feel you can see where the folds are supposed to be so overall I feel I'm getting a bit better each time. 

I'm unsure if this background qualifies for red and/or pink, what do you think? If I look for it to be red it is and if I look for it to be pink it is, it's kind of a raspberry colour.
