Hi Crafty Friends,

Here's my first of a few cards tonight and I created this one with an image from Bugaboo. I love how easy their images are to colour. I love the thick black lines, much easier not to colour out of the lines so much hehe and I love the overall look that it gives too to clean, simple style cards.

Lilac & green Spring card (Crafts & Me/Hannah Lynn image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Oh how I love a Hannah Lynn image! Aren't they divine? You can find them at Crafts and Me. I coloured her with my Copics and then coloured a grey background which looked terrible, way too dark as I'd already used darker colours so I fussy cut her out and added lots of white to my card as it's supposed to be a Springtime card. I used greens for her hair (YG91-99 plus YG03).

Checkered Spring coloured fairy card (Lacy Sunshine image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have gone crazy creating this week, my mojo is back this year and I'm so happy about that! At the end of last year I seemed to have a bit of trouble but I have some lovely cards still yet to post, I will post them in the coming days I'm sure. 

I love this beautiful fairy from Lacy Sunshine, isn't she so sweet? I cropped her a little as sometimes I like the faces and hair to be larger, half because it's easier to colour larger images and also because I like the look of the bigger images. I had added the lace and ribbon then realised I wanted to pop her underneath but she didn't quite fit! I decided I loved the look of the image peeking from the top of the card anyway so sometimes it's a happy accident isn't it? 

I used some gorgeous green leaves from our Flourish with a Bling store, make sure to follow our blog as we only need 7 more followers until we give away a beautiful bling pack (worldwide).

The Artist should dream big (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

My last card of the night and it's a totally girly one! I coloured up a gorgeous image from Saturated Canary who have now sadly closed. I fussy cut the banners from a patterned paper. I used an old sentiment rub-on and then doodled the rest of the bits on her poster.

Green and Blue Birthday Boy card (Digital Delights image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I hope you're all well this week. 

I have 3 cards to show tonight, all of them completely different styles to each other. 

I don't often create little boy cards but I do try to add one to my stash every now and then. You can find this sweet little boy at Digital Delights. I used some really really old rub ons, amazed they still work! Then I doodled some extra bits with white and black pens, hopefully you can't tell which is rub-ons and which is doodled hehe.
