It's a Harry Potter Birthday card (Bugaboo image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I know, I know, if you've just come from my last cards you'll see this is my second wizard boy card which isn't usually my style but Cupcake Inspirations blog has a witches and wizards challenge and I thought I'd finally colour up these 2 gorgeous little wizards that I have in my stash. This was a relatively easy card to make, randomly cutting papers on a slant to add to the background and then adding some thin green cardstock to give some extra colour to the background. The cute digi comes from Bugaboo, I added some polka dots to his outfit and punched out some stars.

Have a Magical Day (Little Miss Muffet image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Aww, isn't this little magician just so sweet? I turned my card into a triangular type shape by just shaving about 3cm off each top side, it's very easy but I like how this shape turns out for something a bit different. I added some Glossy Accents to the magic ball he's holding and the stars but it's hard to tell in the photo. You can find this sweet boy at Little Miss Muffet. The sentiment is from one of Lawn Fawn's fairy stamp sets.

Birthday Ostrich with balloons card

Hi Crafty Friends,

Here's another free colouring book online image that I've had printed in my stash for the longest time and he's rather quite cute isn't he, I don't know why it's taken me so long to colour him. I think sometimes when they're only outlines they aren't as adorable as once they are coloured. I layered the background with lots of die cuts to create fields and a cloudy sky.
