Gamer Boy Birthday card (Kenny K image)

Hi everyone,

I hope you're having a great weekend, lovely to see a little bit of sunshine here in Australia, hoping there's more to come as we start heading towards Spring (1st Sept), yay!!!

This image from Kenny K was perfect for my son's Birthday card, he is obsessed with Minecraft, anyone else have this problem with their kidlets? I just don't understand the fascination with it but he loves it. 

My papers for this card are from Echo Park, I think the range was called "about a boy".

Birthday Parade card (Saturated Canary image)

Hi everyone,

My last card to post this evening before stretching out on the couch to watch a couple of my favourite shows, can't wait hehe!

This clean and simple style card didn't need too much as the image is so intricate and detailed, I didn't want my card to overshadow that so I just wanted to add lots of colour to the whole card. The oh-so-adorable image is from the one and only Saturated Canary.

Celebrate card (The Stamping Chef image)

Hi everyone,

Here is my last card for today, hope you've enjoyed seeing all 3 of them. I have to make a couple of male cards this weekend so they may be next on my blog.

This card was created using a sassy girl from The Stamping Chef. I love how her hair flows, it's really easy to colour. For a change I went around her with a mustard coloured copic rather than my usual blues. 

I have used a Jasmine puffy flourish (orange) and Antique Brown rhinestones from my company, Flourish with a Bling, who are having a 50% off sale this month, see below for more details or click on our business name to be taken to the website.
