Stamp Fairy bear card

Hi and welcome to or welcome back to my blog.

I love Stamp Fairy images and this one is no exception, there are so many fantastic artists' images to choose from isn't there, I have got quite a stash now so I hardly ever use the same image twice hehe! Digital images are so much easier to store than rubber so I must admit they're my favourite although I do have a stash of rubber stamps too lol. 

I have created a centre step card here and used my balloon punch for the first time. This is navy and not black but for some reason I can never get a photo to look navy!

Now for something completely different to that I have created this card using a Hannah Lynn image which you can purchase at Crafts & Me. I love these digis so much, thank goodness for fantastic artists like Hannah Lynn who create digi images for us to colour. 

I have used 3 black leaves from Flourish with a Bling, they come on a vine (called Jack vine), they are so easy to cut off to use with flowers, they're gorgeously glossy! I coloured her with copics.

Birthday skunk card

Hi there,

How cute is this little guy (and the papers) from Docrafts, he is so sweet with that huge flower in his hand. I added some bling to the flower centre. The beautiful pink pearl flourish and glossy green leaves are from Flourish with a Bling. I printed the sentiment and doodled around it before mounting it on matching papers.

You've put a spell on me card

Me again, hopefully you've just checked out my last card, I'm uploading them both together. I love this witchy image from Stitchy Bear stamps and I've combined the scene with a cute little potion shelf from Meljens. I love to always give a shout out to the artist/store that I get my images from and link their names to their stores so it's very easy for you to go check them out. 

I put some glitter in a little bottle which is supposed to look a little like it's fallen off the shelf hehe. I glittered around the edges of the "scene" too, haven't used real glitter like this in a while.
