Beach Babies Birthday Card

I just had to have these adorable babies to colour in, I just love those chubby legs and it’s a beach scene that brings back fond childhood memories! It’s always fun to go to the beach and you’re never too old to play in the sand! I used embossing on my light blue cardstock and dry embossed waves…this is hard to see , colour blue and die cuts for my sentiment. I used a woven wool to look like seaweed and strung thru some cute beach style beads to add to the beach theme!

Ladybugs Birthday Card

This week I have used an image from Bugaboo Stamps and I’ve had my eye on this image for ages and couldn’t wait to start colouring it in ! It’s called Scene it-Ladybugs. There is something about the colour of a ladybug that is delightful and just so very cute! I added Glossy Accents to add some shine to my ladybugs,flower centers and butterflies. I used Sizzix Buttons #5 and die cut my buttons so they exactly match my card! I added a hit of blue to my colouring to create a sunny spring day! As you can see I made an easel card, because this year I decided to try to do more with construction style cards and projects in an effort to expand my horizons. I used hot pink knitting wool, tied off on my buttons to add some texture to my card and spotted designer paper to accentuate my lady bugs spots!
