Lovely Beautiful Darling card (Lacy Sunshine image)

Hey everyone,

I know I've bombarded my followers with cards this weekend, I hope you've loved seeing them as much as I have loved creating them!

Here's my second last card to show you and I have used a sweet little image from Lacy Sunshine. I have also used a beautiful flower and rhinestones from Flourish with a Bling. The rhinestones were silver but I coloured them with one of the copic marker colours I used to colour the girl so that they'd match (you can do this with rhinestones and pearls).


I am entering this card into the following challenges:

A Gem of a Challenge - Anniversary
Artistic Inspirations - For the kids/anything goes
Bunny Zoe - Hearts/love
Crafty Sentiments - Love
Deep Ocean - Just for a girl
Just Inspirational - Hearts and ribbon
Lacy Sunshine - Spring colours (using a LS image)
Southern Girls - Swinging in the breeze (pennants, banners)

I hope you're enjoying the weekend,

Thinking of you card (Sarah Kay image)

Hi everyone,

This is my third card to show for the day and it's a little garden scene. I stuck her down before thinking she would have been better with the little flies and extra white bits cut out more but once it's glued down there's no going back is there lol so I've moved on. 

I think she's so sweet, the image is a Sarah Kay one and I have used this image many times before, I even have her coloured up ready for another card at some stage. She reminds me of this time of year (well, USA's time of year lol, we're coming up to Autumn here in Australia). I love the challenges during Feb, March and April, first love/Valentine's Day, then Spring and Easter, such beautiful fresh and happy cards to be made. That's a hint I have a lot of crafting in me right now hehe, love it!!
