Happy Summer Birthday Card (Tiddly Inks image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I love this sweet image from Tiddly Inks. I've coloured her up before so I'll add my previous card so you can see 2 cards with the same image. Both times I added some palm trees behind her, different ones you'll notice.

Skiing by to say Hello (Little Miss Muffet image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I made this background with a circle die, cloud stencil, double sided tape and glitter! I first created the sun with distress oxide inks then covered that up and stenciled some clouds on. I have a wide double sided tape so I added that for the ground and then added glitter to it and it seems to have stayed well :)

I added some pearls to look like snow falling and the adorable bear comes from Little Miss Muffet (no link like I usually do because I couldn't find their old store). If anyone knows a link I'd love a copy of it.

With Love Bear with flowers (Polkadoodles image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I made this pink background with a stencil, texture paste, distress oxide ink and glitter - mixed all the latter items together to form the paste and this is how it turned out, it's very sparkly in real life. 

The oh-so-cute bear comes from Polkadoodles, he's part of a sweet stamp set.

Beachy and Amazing card (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

The Paper Shelter has so many gorgeous images and when you purchase them they come in black & white and colour along with backgrounds too. I decided to create 3 cards today with The Paper Shelter images but using different backgrounds to the ones they come with. 

I'm not sure if anyone has tried this technique of adding an image to a background digitally but you just use the PNG image (not JPEG) so that you can add it in front of the background. I used a pre-coloured image for this card.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Crafty Catz - anything goes with optional twist: heroes and villains

Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper -  anything goes with patterned paper

Creative Inspirations - anything goes  

Creative Playground (Imagine That) - anything goes

The Paper Shelter - Holiday time 

Polkadoodles - anything goes wk 28
