Big hugs from a fairy (Di's Digis image)

Hi crafty friends,

Here's another gorgeous digi image I printed out ages ago and have only just got around to colouring and creating with. You can find this lovely fairy at Di's Digis. I used a lot of die cuts for this scene, mostly from Lawn Fawn and some fluffy clouds from Flourish with a Bling.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Aloha Fridays - in the garden

As you like it - single or multi-layer - I definitely find multi-layer easier to create, I always think something is missing if I try clean and simple. I love adding these die cut layers to create a scene.

Girly 1st Birthday card (LOTV image)

Hi crafty friends,

My friend's sweet granddaughter just turned 1 year old so I asked her if she'd like me to make a card for her to give. I made an extra large card and played around with adding the little bears (from Lili of the Valley) and the balloon sentiment. I then created the background including the tree which I'm a bit proud of as I've never drawn a tree like this before. I accidentally got a couple of Copic marker dots on the background so I decided to add more and make it confetti, turned out ok and I don't think they'd realise it was a mistake now hehe.
