Painter Teddy Birthday card (Di's Digis image)

Hi everyone,

How easy it to create masculine cards when we are blessed to have such gorgeous images like these to play with? Di's Digis latest challenge is "Make it Masculine" and I knew instantly this was the little guy I wanted to use for it. I just bought my paint brush die cuts at a craft show last weekend so what perfect timing! I used some copper brads and a wooden rectangle for the sentiment (the sentiment itself is a font I have on the computer, they are free) I used some liquid pearls for the "paint" and pewter pearls from Flourish with a Bling who are having a 50% off sale (see below).

With Love, Moon and Stars card (Art By Miran image)

Hi everyone,

I'm back with my second card that is one of my favourites I created in 2014, isn't this image beautiful from Art by Miran? I thought I'd use one of my larger, fancier die cuts this time to create a card shape and I like how it's turned out. I glittered all the stars in the image and added gold glitter to the brown glass bottle, I love these little bottles. The pearls and black leaves come from Flourish with a Bling who are having a 50% off sale (see below for details).

Clean and Simple Birthday Girl card (Scrapper's Delight image)

Hi everyone,

Here's my last card for tonight, I'm making up for not posting any all week! I love these images from Scrapper's Delights, I have a few similar ones and if you've been following my blog for a while you will have seen a couple more of them over the last few months. I decided on another clean and simple style which is unusual for me but sometimes the image just begs to be shown off hehe. I used a clear glitter pen over her copic markered dress but it's very difficult to see in the photo.
