Have a great day

Happy birthday - have a great day. Another card made with two unknown toppers, very like the previous card, with the Happy Birthday sentiment and also Have a great day, with a few fabric little flowers with gems, all mounted on to a ready patterned Card blank. Definitely another one for a gardener.

Happy birthday

Background paper for this card is from 12 x 12 Tim Holtz idea-ology paper stash vintage shabby ... I love it, but rarely use it. I've got now idea where the topper squares and sentiment panel came from. The flower is from a larger Papermania flower with pieces cut off the pels and a small fabric flower added to the centre and another at the bottom of the card.

In the garden

A commissioned card some time ago for a keen gardener ... with elements needed for gardening, but the deckchair, wine etc for some time in between. The topper in the bottom left hand corner was decoupaged.

Happy birthday to a lovely granddaughter

For this commissioned card I played with inks, using a Hunkydory prism inkpad all over the scalloped edged A5 tent style card blank, blotting in placed to reveal white bits. I stamped the Tim Holtz paisley stamp inked with memento grape jelly,a couple of times to get a long enough piece, cut the sides and rounded the corners, matting on to purple mirror card, wrapping a glittered ribbon around. The embossed square was created using an embossing folder that also created the mat for the printed greeting. A Hobbycraft flower was added - white brushed with memento grape jelly.

Thanks for your help

A commissioned card some time ago for a friend to take to her Chiropractor who was moving on. I created in word clouds with a free online help and got the silhouette clip arts free online too, putting the whole thing together digitally, adding the sentiments and then printing and mounting on to a black card blank.

You passed

A card made a while ago for someone who had just passed their test. Sadly, I can't remember where the digital image came from, but I love it. The pieces top and bottom are Hunkydory offcuts and the side pieces of corrugated card were taken from some packaging.
