Saturated Canary Spring card

Hi crafty friends, today I've created a card with a gorgeous Saturated Canary image, this is the first time I have coloured her and it was such fun. I made her very large so I could fussy cut her out and make her the stand out of the card. This card is so sparkly in real life as the papers have sparkly butterflies and flowers all over it but I just couldn't get my camera to translate that onto the photo.

Chloe's Easel Birthday card


This is my third post for the day and I'm terribly sick with a cold so I'm amazed I'm finally uploading them to show you!

I made this card for my darling daughter's 13th Birthday so I thought I'd make it extra special, she loved it! I coloured the gorgeous Crafts & Me digi (artist is Hannah Lynn) with copics. I inked and glossed the chipboard (from Scrapmatts). I love using a pop of black. I have used pearls and the beautiful hot pink flower from Flourish with a Bling.
