3 Aussie Flowers

Hello :)

I'm here with three Aussie flower cards. I was having a bit of a crafting slump then Zoe from Make it Crafty showed us (the design team) the new Australian Flora images and I just new I had to get busy colouring them because they are so beautiful and being an Aussie gal they are close to my heart. Best medicine I could have asked for, crafting slump gone :)
