Circular Hello Girl card (Little Miss Muffet image)

Hi crafty friends,

I have had this gorgeous Little Miss Muffet image coloured up for a while now and I'd accidentally printed her really small. I also didn't leave a huge amount of space around her when I printed her up with other images so I wasn't quite sure how to make her look bigger than she is. Building die cut circles around her and a big sentiment I think has helped and I'm really happy with how it turned out. Next time she'll be a lot bigger hehe. I only used white and black cardstock for this, I used my distress oxide inks to make the blended colours (I think I used Candied Apple and Worn Lipstick).

My company, Flourish with a Bling is closing it's doors and so for the next few weeks we're having a closing down sale and Every product is just $2 during this time. I hope you'll check out our website as we have our own unique beautiful products and we post worldwide.

A teen boy's Birthday card (Bugaboo image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I've had this piece of Bo Bunny paper forever, I'm trying to work through some of my mountain of patterned papers (I know I'm not alone here, are we all paper hoarders hehe?) 

I used a gorgeous teen boy image from Bugaboo, I just love how relaxed and cool he is.
