Some time ago I was asked to make a card for a son-in-law who is involved in amateur dramatics and was taking part in Arcadia, the play by Tom Stoppard. It features a tortoise, so I cut out a printed digi of one, raising it up with 3D foam so that it acted as a stopper for the easel card. This was another 'theatre' card using some flocked/velvet self adhesive paper to print the curtain and then fussy cut it out - I found a picture from the play that I inserted behind the curtain to look like a scene in the play. I can't remember where the paper came from - I also used strips of washi tape and added the books.

Last week I was commissioned to make a card for a teenager who is into all things techie. I created a word cloud (free website to help) putting in lots of words to do with computers. When these were printed I quickly put clear detail powder and heat embossed. This was then put into a frame die cut from a large sizzex die from long ago. The background is Hunkydory adorable scoreable. I then added the name and the Happy Birthday raised up with 3D foam.
