Autumn Girl Card (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

This is my 5th and final card to show for tonight. I created this card today although I had coloured the gorgeous Saturated Canary image up a couple of weeks ago. I then decided to get a bit artsy with the background of the image and so it is a mix blend of copic markers and distress inks. I also distress inked the background paper with some brown/reds.

 I love my new "dangly jewels" I bought at a recent craft show. The blingy flower and antique gold pearls are from Flourish with a Bling.

Sparkly blue Merry Christmas card

Hi Crafty Friends,

I went to a craft show the other week and they were showing how to create this winter scene and I fell in love with the stamp so had to buy it and the Kaleidoscope ink pad too hehe!! I was quite excited to find I could create the scene very close to how they did and it was easier than it looks! This is going to be my go-to Christmas card design for most of my friends and family this year so I'm not sure you'll see many Christmas cards from me this year.

Metal Birthday card for hubby

Hi Crafty Friends,

I'm back with my 2nd card of the night and this is a bit different to what I usually make. I couldn't find a good male digi that I hadn't already used for my hubby so I decided to make a non-image card. I did stamp the sentiment and embossed it silver. I think the rest of the card is self-explanatory hehe. Always feel free to email me or leave a comment asking questions if you ever have any.

My Pink & Red Witch card (Crafts & Me/Hannah Lynn image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I can't believe it's been almost a month since I last posted, that has not happened in over 3 years!! I don't know where the time is going at the moment, I have made a few cards and I am going to post them all tonight (5 in total). I am not keeping up with all the challenge blogs at the moment so at least it is quicker to post on my blog :)

I hope you all had a spooky but wonderful Halloween if you celebrate it. It is getting so much more popular here in my little corner of the world (Melbourne, Australia) that we ran out of chocs within about 30 minutes!! 

Anyway, onto my card and I love using this gorgeous image from Hannah Lynn (can be found at Crafts and Me). I have created 4 cards now with her so I've added my previous cards below. This is the first time I have used non-Halloween colours.
