Birthday Girl with lolly bag and kitty (Conie Fong image)

Hi crafty friends,

I've been watching Youtube videos again lol and so I was inspired to create my own background from scratch! Now I'm not a drawer at all so this was very difficult to do but, apart from a big mistake (can you pick it? I'll tell you in a minute) I was happy with how it turned out. The tree is surprisingly easier to create, the rest took a lot more thought. My mistake was when I created the fence I coloured all the vertical pieces without giving consideration to the horizontal pieces that would be in front of the slats. So I had to make the horizontal pieces darker to try and hide what I'd done. I didn't succeed very well but have definitely learned for next time. Probably would be a good idea to draw the background in with a grey-lead pencil first doh! This adorable image with her cat comes from Conie Fong. Thank you so much for coming to check out my card, I really appreciate all of you!

Big hugs from a fairy (Di's Digis image)

Hi crafty friends,

Here's another gorgeous digi image I printed out ages ago and have only just got around to colouring and creating with. You can find this lovely fairy at Di's Digis. I used a lot of die cuts for this scene, mostly from Lawn Fawn and some fluffy clouds from Flourish with a Bling.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Aloha Fridays - in the garden

As you like it - single or multi-layer - I definitely find multi-layer easier to create, I always think something is missing if I try clean and simple. I love adding these die cut layers to create a scene.

Hi crafty friends,
