Horses and dogs

This is a commissioned card made today for a friend to send to someone who loves horses and dogs for her 70th birthday.

I used a piece of Hunkydory spotted card to make the A5 card blank. The papers were from PDA card and craft (long ago - bought lots and love using them). I printed the greeting only to a piece of Hunkydory card, shades of beige, quickly pouring on gold detail embossing powder and heating before die cutting and embossing using a todo label die, with the next size up to put behind it.

I added two bands of white with black and gold spots, the Jolee felt dog and glittered paw prints and the little dog's head.


I stamped the greeting inked with versafine black onyx and embossed with detail gold for the inside of the card, die cutting and embossing with a larger todo label die, matting this on to the insert. It's a shame that the photo doesn't show how golden it is irl.

This is for:

Another hallowe'en birthday

As I said in the previous post I don't 'do' hallowe'en, but I occasionally get asked to make a card to do with that holiday and this was commissioned for a grandson - yes, the twin of the granddaugher whose card was shown before this. The background was created with an embossing folder brushed with ink. The skulls came from Poundland and other bits and pieces are from sticker sheets I bought from Amazon.

Hallowe'en birthday

I don't 'do' hallowe'en, but I occasionally get asked to make a card to do with that holiday and this was commissioned for a granddaughter whose birthday is hallowe'en (she is a twin, so watch this space for another card). The background paper is Paper Boutique wickedly wonderful pack. The middle piece is a choker, bought last year in Poundland and here wrapped around a piece of card so that it can be taken off to be worn. The other bits and pieces are from sticker sheets I bought from Amazon.
