The fab four

For this commissioned card made some time ago I was asked to include the Beatles and a postcard picture of somewhere on the Costa del Sol. The background paper was from Kanban, with an offcut band of paper between two pieces of washi tape.

Happy birthday again and again

These are five cards that were made a while ago using various cardstock offcuts, card blanks and the die cut toppers and other bits and pieces ... I'd had them for so long that I can't remember where they came from.

Music easel card

This was a commissioned card made some time ago for a young lady who  is very musical. I put together the digital elements and printed. I used Tim Holtz music washi tape and a piece of Kanban best wishes card, as well as the addition of flowers and setiment, using the largest flower as the 'stopper'.

 A commissioned A5 card some time ago for a daughter who is very musical and teaches children to play recorder.
