Orange and Green Fairy card (Polkadoodles image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

This is my 2nd last card of the evening and it's a little more my style than the previous ones. Very girly and hopefully you think it has a lot to look at. This beautiful fairy is from Polkadoodles, isn't she divine? I used a lot of die cuts on this card, a technique I often forget to use even though my Spellbinders machine is on my craft table! I did some watercolouring again around the image. My next card is very girly too, I hope you'll stick around to see it.

Birthday Skater Boy (Jellypark image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have a couple of boy cards to show but I have a few girly ones coming shortly too. I do like to occasionally create boys cards especially as I have an 11 year old son who sometimes needs cards for his friends. 

Unfortunately I got this from the online digi store Jellypark who are no longer around, very sad as they had some lovely images and this is one I have used before (photos below). I don't look at my previous cards when using the same image and I like to see how different they look when I add it to my post like this but for the first time ever it is very similar with the same cloud and fence! The cloud and fence are from my company, Flourish with a Bling.




I am entering this card into the following challenges:

A Gem of a Challenge - Boys Birthday
The Crafty Addicts - Anything goes/cards for a male
Kraftin' Kimmie's Blog - Card for a guy
Simon Says Stamp (Wed) - Touchy feely (fence & cloud are textured)
