Pink flowers and butterflies


Another aperture card made some time ago, using one of those Kanban gold foiled card blanks and stamping the inside with one of my favourite sentiment stamps (Happy Birthday wish by Finestamps), inking with versamark and heat embossing with detail gold, then adding the lovely glittery and 'squishy' butterflies and flowers.

For two bowls players


A while ago I was asked to make two cards for bowls enthusiasts ... they could be much alike, but just a bit different. Once again I used the Personal impressions stamp, colouring a bit. The background is Hunkydory card and I just added the gems and sentiments.

The male room 141: birthday
Dream valley 230: add gems or pearls or both
Simon says Monday: summer memories

Birthday bowls


A card made a while ago for a bowls lover's birthday using Paper Nation background paper, a piece of offcut paper to mat the image which had been stamped with the Personal Impressions bowler and coloured with spectrum noir alcohol pens. This was raised up with 3D foam. Then the sentiment was added and some gems.

The Lord is my strength and my song


Before the pandemic I was asked to make some cards with scripture verses on - I usually have boxes of cards for sale at church, but, of course, sadly we haven't been meeting at church since lockdown, so my boxes of cards are sitting there waiting.

Quite a long while ago I bought a couple of packs of postcards with matching envelopes from TKMaxx, thinking that they would come in handy one day. So I used on of the cards on the white card blank and one of the envelope fronts to run through the printer with the scripture verse ...  and then wrote the reference by hand. The little burlap birds came from The Works.

For a rugby enthusiast


This card was commissioned a while ago to be sent to a son-in-law who loves rugby. The topper is from Hunkydory, the sentiment background is from Kanban and the paper with different elements is from my offcuts.
