Recent Cards



This card was made for a dear friend who was 90 years young,
I stamped the lady with white stazon onto parchment paper then embossed the white from the back with my embossing tools, and painted the peacock lady with twinkling h2o's being careful not to get the paper to wet so it did not buckle, the 90, Happy Birthday and peacock was stamped with a brilliance pad.
I then attached the parchment to my peacock backing paper from the peacock summer party cd with tourquoise brads and attached to card adding a bow and small crystal.







This is the card I made for my mother in law.
This was my very first attempt with stampboard. I first painted the stampboard with tinkerbell inks, then stamped part of the poppy stamp onto it, using my scratch knife I highlighted part of the poppy, then embossed with amazing glaze to give a tile effect.
I mounted card painted with the same colour tinkebell inks onto some black card, them finished by attaching the stampboard which had been mounted onto black and gold card.

To finish off I used the tinkerbell inks on a small piece of card mounted onto black and stamped Mum onto it, then used brilliance ink pad to stamp the Happy birthay, and finished the card with a ribbon to match the colour's.
