50th Wedding Anniversary card for my in-laws

Hi crafty friends,

I hope you all had a great Easter if you celebrate the holiday.

My in-laws just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary so I made this card for them. We recently bought a new letterbox which came with lots of large black numbers to put on the front, as soon as I saw these black stickers I thought they'd be perfect for cards so I added them to my stash.

Celebrating Chloe passing her driving test card (Saturated Canary image)

Hi crafty friends,

This is my last card for today, I hope you've enjoyed seeing all the different cards I've been creating recently.

I made this card ready for my daughter Chloe who's going for her driver's licence tomorrow, fingers crossed she gets it as she just bought a car last week so it's sitting here ready to be driven. It'll be so much easier for me and hubby too, she works part-time at Subway in the evenings and we normally pick her up, the weather is just starting to cool down so it's perfect timing!

The girl is from Saturated Canary, sadly it's no longer available but if you like Krista's images you can find some at Make it Crafty.

Hi crafty friends,

Happy Easter for this weekend everyone! This card's dedicated to all my lovely followers.

I dotted white Nuvo drops onto one set of background dots then while it was still wet I added purple glitter.

This is my first attempt at a slider card. I was inspired after watching many Youtube videos where they create these gorgeous little scenes with little critters being able to move across the card.

A little dog celebrates Easter card (Pink Gem Designs image)

Hi crafty friends,

I have a few cards to post today, I hope you enjoy seeing what I've created for Easter and numerous other occasions.

I'm not usually one for clean and simple cards, I absolutely love other crafters' CAS cards but I have trouble as I always want to add more hehe.

I coloured up a gorgeous pup from Pink Gem Designs. I did some masking for this card and then blended some distress oxide inks for the background and inked up the chipboard easter eggs with the same inks. I've made a card with this image before so I always like to add them below to show how different they can be on different cards.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

A Gem of a Challenge -  Easter time (Pink Gem Designs image)

Copic Marker Norge - moodboard - inspired by the eggs 

C.R.A.F.T. -  spring/Easter

Creatalicious - anything goes with optional: Birthday  

Creative Inspirations -  any occasion 

Cutie Pie - Spring cuties

Deep Ocean - Easter / Spring 

Incy Wincy Designs - No more than 3 colours (excl B&W) - red, orange, brown

Have a great day,
