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.

Made this simple card some time ago which the Beauty panel over the paper with swirls that finished off the letter y. It was ten matted on to the deep pink paper and the blue behind that. It's simple, but I like the beauty of it.

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.
