Especially for my son ...


... not my son, but commissioned to make this card a while ago - I was asked to include something to indicate his love of music, particularly guitar, his love of gardening, hence the wheelbarrow and the fact that he supports Chelsea football club, hence the little strip. The background sentiment paper was from Kanban, matted on to grey and white dotted card by Hunkydory. The sentiment banner was also from Kanban.

Sending special wishes


Another CAS card, using Kanban supplies, this time with the middle raised up a bit more than the previous card, with the jewels added. I took the slanted picture to try to show the rose gold foiling.

For a special friend


I made this to give to a friend a couple of weeks ago, using papers from the DCWV Mariposa stack, the lovely flower and butterfly borders from Papermania - taking pieces of the left overs and sticking individually, with the Friend sentiment from Kanban and the Dovecraft Birthday sentiment.
