Chase Your Dreams navy card (Bugaboo image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I had a challenge for a magazine of creating 7 cards with one 30x30cm sheet of patterned paper. So you may recognise this navy and teal paper in a few previous posts already. They are all very different cards so I was happy with my creations and it was less tricky than I expected. I printed out the Bugaboo sentiment in a navy blue to match the paper.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

A Gem of a Challenge - 3 x B items - blue, butterflies, branches, bling

Catch the Bug - anything goes (Bugaboo image used) 

Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper - anything goes with patterned paper 

Creatalicious - anything goes with optional twist: use lots of green 

Creative Moments - anything goes with optional twist: winter blues  

Daisy Chain Challenges - make it feminine

Dream Valley - lots of layers 

Little Miss Muffet - anything goes (Bugaboo image)

Ribbon Girl -  March any card challenge

Word Art Wednesday - anything goes   

Thank you so much for dropping by and extra special thanks to my lovely followers and visitors that leave some beautiful comments for me, they warm my heart.

Hi Crafty Friends,

Here's my first of a few cards tonight and I created this one with an image from Bugaboo. I love how easy their images are to colour. I love the thick black lines, much easier not to colour out of the lines so much hehe and I love the overall look that it gives too to clean, simple style cards.

A Gem of a Challenge - 3 x B items - boy, blue jeans, bright, bling

Catch the Bug - anything goes (Bugaboo image)

Lilac & green Spring card (Crafts & Me/Hannah Lynn image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Oh how I love a Hannah Lynn image! Aren't they divine? You can find them at Crafts and Me. I coloured her with my Copics and then coloured a grey background which looked terrible, way too dark as I'd already used darker colours so I fussy cut her out and added lots of white to my card as it's supposed to be a Springtime card. I used greens for her hair (YG91-99 plus YG03).

Checkered Spring coloured fairy card (Lacy Sunshine image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have gone crazy creating this week, my mojo is back this year and I'm so happy about that! At the end of last year I seemed to have a bit of trouble but I have some lovely cards still yet to post, I will post them in the coming days I'm sure. 

I love this beautiful fairy from Lacy Sunshine, isn't she so sweet? I cropped her a little as sometimes I like the faces and hair to be larger, half because it's easier to colour larger images and also because I like the look of the bigger images. I had added the lace and ribbon then realised I wanted to pop her underneath but she didn't quite fit! I decided I loved the look of the image peeking from the top of the card anyway so sometimes it's a happy accident isn't it? 

I used some gorgeous green leaves from our Flourish with a Bling store, make sure to follow our blog as we only need 7 more followers until we give away a beautiful bling pack (worldwide).

The Artist should dream big (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

My last card of the night and it's a totally girly one! I coloured up a gorgeous image from Saturated Canary who have now sadly closed. I fussy cut the banners from a patterned paper. I used an old sentiment rub-on and then doodled the rest of the bits on her poster.

I hope you've enjoyed seeing my cards tonight, thanks so much for dropping by XOX
