With deepest sympathy at this difficult time


This is a commissioned  sympathy card that I was asked to make a while ago. The background was created on lilac paper randomly stamping one of my favourite Penny Black stamps called sparklers inked with memento grape jelly. I also stamped with the Penny Black butterfly edge stamp, also inked with the grape jelly. The panel with the lilies was upcycled from an old card, the ribbon with tiny silver studs was from Hobbycraft. I added the sentiment circle and the butterflies with 3D wings from Docrafts.

Colours are for Color my heart 353:


and The rainbow card challenge 8: passion for purple (my favourite crafting colour)

Happy birthday daughter-in-law


This is a commissioned card for a friend to give to her daughter-in-law. I used backing card and elements from Kanban, cutting the easel, mat and side floral piece using a Die'sire create-a-card floral easel set from Crafter's Companion. The floral piece was cut from a pearlescent card. I added lace and ribbon to the base with the sentiments to act as a stopper.

Unfortunately, the photos don't show the lovely copper foiling on the butterflies - much better irl.
