Fashion in purple

This is a commissioned A5 card made this week for a granddaughter, using supplies from Kanban, using my favourite crafting colour, purple, with silver. I was asked to include some shoes and anything fashionable. The card blank is a lovely deep purple.

Celebration

They say that the camera doesn't lie, but how come then that the 3D decoupaged Anna Griffin celebration looks crooked ... it's not!!

I inked the Tim Holtz stamp with memento grape jelly on to the piece of pink paper that has a faint pattern on it (difficult to see here) and then on to the card blank. Not sure where the little clock came from. This card could be used for any kind of celebration.

A fairy happy birthday

I'm later coming on here today because I was making two commissioned cards this morning. So I decided to show one of them now.

This card uses paper and the lovely glittered fairy image and flowers from a flower fairy kit from a while ago. I added the Happy Birthday from Dovecraft, the letter tiles from The Works and the glittered number 2.

I took the photo at an angle to try to show the glitter and the foiling - the card is a lot brighter irl, particularly the fairy and flowers.

On the back (sadly, the gold foiling doesn't show up):
