Birka loves pink. And it was Birka’s birthday. So the Happy Crafty Friends had a pink blog hop for her and invited everyone to make a pink birthday card.

Quackers
These ducks are quite ridiculous. But such fun to colour, and those big eyes just begged to have a layer of glossy accents over them.
Easter: Chocolate dragon
I’m not really doing Easter cards this year, but I had to make one for my mum. I like colouring bunnies, but it is nice to do something a bit different — a little unexpected — so I had a think and came up with a non-traditional chocolate dragon in an Easter egg.
