An orange summer garden card (Magnolia image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I am having a terrible time trying to take nice, natural photos of my cards at the moment as it's winter here in Australia and not a sun ray in sight! So making the best of it for now and may take a better photo when and if the sun comes out tomorrow (I sound like Orphan Annie don't I haha).

I used a lovely Magnolia image for this card and a Lawn Fawn sun die which is one of my faves. This card is a really easy shape to create but I like how it looks. Keep the fold at the top then evenly cut both sides on an angle to make the triangle leaving enough gap at the top so the card still has a steady fold. It stays up nicely still too.

Little Girl on bicycle Birthday Card (Magnolia image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I hope you're all well.

I had seen some Youtube videos on colouring sky with clouds and decided to give it a try. I quite often create my own sky but mostly by using my chalks and a homemade cloud template. I was quite pleased with how it turned out for my first try. The image is from Magnolia and the toadstools and pearl flourish are from Flourish with a Bling. The pearl flourish was white and I coloured them with my copics to match her dress.

I have used her before so I'll add the pictures below, I always like to see how different the cards end up if I've used the image more than once and also if my colouring has improved. I try to usually create with different images every card as I really do have so many, I even have a digi folder titled "not yet used" and I have a fair few in there but I'm a crazy cardmaker so I have used hundreds already hehe.

Shabby Chic Birthday Girl (Magnolia Ink image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's been a while since I've created with a Magnolia stamp as I usually tend to go for my digi images now but I thought I'd try using distress inks rather than my Copics. I think I'm a little better with my copics but I had a lot of fun trying this technique and I may try to do some more in the future especially seeing as I bought a million distress inks when I decided to give it a try haha!! I added the little flowers in her hair.
