Birthday in Yellow


Birthday - Yellow

This card was made for an aunt who will be 92 next month and is partially sighted so I needed a very bright card.  I think it looks a bit dull on here though.

The Pink version


Birthday in Pink

This is the pink version in the batch of cards previously mentioned. The photo has emerged a bit on the dark side, IRL it is much brighter.

Thomas–Big Bunch of Flowers


Thomas-Big Bunch of Flowers

This is another LOTV stamp.  The flowers are all from WOC.  Unfortunately the light has cast a shadow on the Craftwork Cards sentiment and shown up the stems of the spray underneath.

Birthday Grunge–or is it?


Birthday - Grungy

The second card in the batch is an attempt at a grungy card but the sentiment is much too dark in this picture.  In fact, I think the whole photo is too dark but it was a dull day in my defence.

Birthday in Green


Birthday in Green

This is the green example of a batch of cards I am making for our local hospice charity to sell.  They are all similar but different colourways.  I think this one is my favourite though.

Another Anniversary Card


Anniversary_example

A variation on my previous anniversary card – not sure if the flower works on the front.  I think I should have used a 3-D one but I have carried it over to the insert.
Anniversary_Insert

I think the flower works better on the inside but the addition of a shape to write on would look better so will add one.

Ellie the Elephant


Ellie

This was a quick card.  I am not totally happy with the way Ellie turned out but I liked the flower.  Ellie is a Stamposaurus clear stamp.

Just Chill!


Just Chill!

This is one of Joanna Sheen’s House Mouse summer designs Chill Out  on a card I made for my Son’s birthday.

Wedding Anniversary


Anniversary

I was pleased with this card although in the picture the edges of the card and the surface of the sentiment look dirty.  In reality I had gone over them with iridescent medium so they shone when they caught the light.

Clean & Simple


Clean & Simple

I made this card for a Less is More challenge but in the end decided that it had too much on it.

New Home

New Home

I always dreamed of living in a cottage like this when I was young.
The wonky fairy is back again, that reminds me I must find some board!  Yes, I know it is another peel-off but needs must and all that!
Heralding the beginning of the end of summer – our Swifts have left the area so no more “screaming” until next year.  I like it when they arrive but not when they leave.  However, we still have our House Martins, they don’t usually go to Africa until September/October and then it really will be the end of Summer!

Lazy Afternoon

Lazy Afternoon

This birthday card was made for my old boss – he is now retired but was an extremely busy, eminent surgeon. I wasn’t ultra-happy about the way the background turned out but unfortunately did not have time to re-stamp and re-colour. The stamp and sentiment are from LOTV natch.  The background papers are digital and from Donna at Bearly Mine Designs.  I have a number of these gorgeous designs but cannot remember which set these are from as I printed a number of them off at the time, sorry!

Teddy–Bouquet

Teddy - Bouquet

Another LOTV stamp today, I said they were my favourites!  The wonkiness has reappeared in all it’s glory though, I must find something more stable for the easel to stand on.
