Blue Bay Sunday

Hi everyone.  I have had a relaxing day with a Kaisercraft pad and collectables.  I have used the Blue Bay range to create some simple cards.  I love the rustic look of this range and had fun making these.

I have pretty much used just the paper pad and collectables to pull these together.  I have also used a few circle punches and dies.  A bit of ribbon and bling and there you go!  I pulled up some trusty card sketches from Pinterest to give me some inspiration. 

These will be available shortly on my facebook page to purchase if you like.

For The Bride

I have been doing my Copic colouring class over at Kit and Clowder and I am practicing hair like a mad woman!  I wanted to practice on this image from La La Land and it seemed a shame not to finish her off.  I had this banner piece and rosette left over from another project sitting on my desk so I decided to go with what I had and made an easel card.
