My Daughter Chloe's 15th Birthday card (Aurora Wings image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

My last card of the night to post, phew! I created this centre step card for my daughter's 15th Birthday which is about to happen tomorrow. I used a beautiful image from Aurora Wings and coloured it up with my Copics. I used a white paint pen to give her eyes a little "glimmer". I added some Chloe pearl flourishes that were actually named after my daughter as I designed them for my company, Flourish with a Bling (click on the name and it will take you to our store - little secret for my followers, we have a 50% off sale happening throughout April). I love how the card turned out, I hope she does too.

Red & Orange Birthday Girl (Little Miss Muffet image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Here I am again with another card I created today although I coloured the image a couple of weeks ago. I do like to sometimes sit and colour while watching listening to the TV and then other times I love to create cards with the finished images. 

This gorgeous girl is from Little Miss Muffet. I am totally loving their images at the moment and have another coloured up ready to go, she actually matches this one so I was very tempted to add them onto one card. The beautiful papers are from Bo Bunny, my favourite paper creators.

Hedgehogs in the Sky Birthday card (Di's Digis image)

Hi Crafty friends,

Hope you're all doing well. I'm getting ready to go on a cruise along the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, Australia shortly so haven't had a lot of time for crafting. I say that but I still managed to get a few done today so I have a few to show you still hehe.

As I am going to be away for Di's Digis next challenge I thought I'd post my card early. I can't tell you what the theme is but a little hint is that my card fits the theme hehe. Could be anything really couldn't it? Can you guess? The gorgeous little hedgehogs are from Di's Digis, they are one image but I fussy cut them separately so really you get 2 images for the price of 1 with this set! I'm still loving my new Lawn Fawn cloud die set and the sun is from Flourish with a Bling.
