Spring Flowers

So it's May already and here in Australia we are looking at the gradual decline into winter. So when I am faced with the oncoming cold I want to reach for the bright colours, flowers and butterflies to remind me that winter will end eventually.
With this in mind here is my latest creation for my sister's birthday.

Yes You Can

It seems that I have the rare occurrence of having some free time on my hands today so I thought I would post another card for you.

A friend of mine is having a hard time of late with sickness and other things in her life so I thought this card might brighten her day.

HOB, Kraftin Kimmie Suzie Can Can, Copics, Kaisercraft Elegance

Card Tip:

When edging the layers on your card with ink, always start by sponging the colour from the back to the front of the piece. This will give a subtle amount of colour, and you can always add more colour if you need to.
