Birthday greetings


A birthday card made some time ago using an unknown piece of background paper and a couple of doilies and the felt flowers at the corners from The Works. I just love these colours. The little peacock sticker was off an unknown sheet I'd had for some time.

Love birds


An anniversary card made a while ago with Craft Creations lovely background (much better irl) and a Kanban frame into which I added the love birds (sadly, I can't remember where I got that digi from  - perhaps someone can tell me?) The Happy Anniversary is a rub on

Coming up roses


A card made recently for a friend, using a piece of Hunkydory card for the background and adding other bits, including the paper roses (it didn't have to be posted, so they wouldn't get squashed). The little buckle with the ribbon had been in my stash for some time ... not a clue where it came from. With the addition of the sentiments and butterflies the card was finished.

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.

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.

My thoughts are with you


A CAS card made a while ago to let someone know I was thinking of them. Background paper was from Kanban, with the addition of the lovely felt ladybird and the embroidered bee and, of  course, the sentiment mounted on a scrap of Hunkydory card.

The Cavendish ladies


This was a commissioned card some time ago for a 90 year old sister-in-law. It's an 8 x 8 card with an unknown piece of background paper. I used two of the Cavendish ladies set of stamps by Kanban, inked with memento tuxedo black and coloured with Spectrum noir pens, adding glitter to the cuffs of the lady on the left. I added lots of flowers and the sentiment ovals.
