These Color Me flowers are so addictive.. I keep dipping into my daughter’s colour pencils box :) Oh! this is a Hero Arts only card!! I realised this only after pasting it here :) Almost one layered… but a lot of stuff going on here! Stamped HA Color Me Flowers in black Clear embossed it Coloured them Stamped HA Magical Background in orange and clear embossed.. so it looks as if there is a lot of masking going on for this to be one layered.. but actually not.. quite easy but lot of fun!! Learnt this tip on WWW.. try it! The added the stamped panel on good quality tracing paper.. I think this is what our counterparts in other countries call Vellum. If it is not, it still works for me :) Thanks for stopping by :) Cheers, JC

Here is a card I soo totally love. The Bee and the bee trail is hand drawn.   The bee’s wings are shaped to  resemble a heart and I’ve cut it up just so.. such that the wings are popped up. And the tiniest amount of glitter with a Sakura Stardust pen for added interest The edges distressed and the inside reads, what else but..   Card is inspired by the latest challenge on CraftyJC Challenge #14 – Valentine with non-traditional colors And also goes to ICRC15- Feel the Love + Photo Inspiration !!! The Cream + Black from the following grab Thanks for visiting. Cheers, JC
