This is one of two cards that I made for my Mum to give to my stepdad. It's designed on the computer using Microsoft publisher. I then printed off two and cut out the posters and pictures and mounted them on with foam squares to raise them a bit. It was a quick, simple one. I must say I do find men's ones harder to do!
This is a card I've done and our daughter's already taken it to give to her brother! Nice, bright, jolly colours and a few wobbly bits on it too .. what fun! Cards like this put a smile on my face.
Happy Days.
This is a scan of a little watercolour pic I painted. It's printed on textured card, torn out, slightly edged with a gold pen and mounted with sticky pads onto torn mulberry paper .. hmmh! I seem to be going through a torn paper phase! Note to self: Put new blade on scalpel!
Happy Friday
Meet Smudge .. this is the cat we haven't got! You see we don't own a cat, but Smudge seems to think we do .. she spends more time here than at her house three doors away. Now, I love her (or him, we don't know, she has way too much fur to find out!) but, she can be a pain when I want to type and she wants attention .. because she walks back and forth across my keyboard! I know my spelling is terrible sometimes and she doesn't help! Anyway as you can see she's settled for the office chair which is next to me, where she can look up and 'chat' to me when she feels like it! Now I can do some work!
Here's a card I liked till someone said it looked like a brain!!!!! Thanks!!!!!
I love all the bits hanging down and I've used some interesting background papers ... Firstly a purple chocolate box topper, then some flower wrapping then mulberry paper and then some memory foam ... a few sprinkles of beads, a nice handbag and here's the finished card .. the purple brain! Ho hum!
Happy days!
Well this one has many brass embellishments on. I like this, though my Mum says it's too busy. There's little painted squares which the embellishments are sewn onto then that's mounted on some vellum. I like the way they swing.
This card I like because the cherub swings about. Once again I've used a watercolour washed back ground, sewn on some mini beads and loose pearls and added a hanging drop at the bottom. I love the way this card looks and feels. I'm very happy with this one.
This one I really like. Using odds and ends, little beads, torn mulberry paper and a little gold embellishment I had. The background is a watercolour wash I did. A fab card all round.
Well, here I am sitting at my keyboard tippy tapping my first blog post (if that's the lingo?!)
I love designing cards ... I can't help it .. I get a real buzz from creating something fab on a white card blank.
I've been doing this ever since I made my wedding invitations 6 years (my goodness is it really that many years!) ago.
Since then I've created well over 1300 cards!
I'll post some pictures on here of my cards ... when I've worked out how to.
Till then .....
Happy days!
