Card for a friend

This is a card that I have made for a friend recently. It took some time and effort to work out. I found the shaped cards a little difficult at first but got there in the end. I used Craft Creations Oriental CD, My Craft Studio to make backing papers, I did some stamping and colouring in, I used Nancy Watts' pop-out template for inside and I even put a tassel on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Card for Ursula

I collect Keel Dogs and have a growing collection. A friend bought me one to cheer me up so I made her a special card to say thank you. I used Michelle Marsden's Triple Treasure CD to make a duo image of some pansies to go on the card, used Nancy Watt's pop-out template for the inside and did some stamping and chalking inside.

Joanna Sheen Card Swap

This months' swap was chosen for us as a group as a whole. It was up to our card swap partner to choose. I chose oriental but my card swap partner chose holidays for me to do. I had a mental block at first but then I used some pictures that my son had taken whilst on holiday in Spain, used a decoupage image from Michelle Marsden's Triple CD, used My Craft Studio to make backing papers/borders and also used a pop-up template for inside that Nancy Watt had demonstrated on Ideal World.

Card for cousin

It was my cousin's birthday this week so I thought I'd make him a special card. He lives in Dublin, is a metal worker and is MADDDDDDDDDDDDD about music so I managed to group everything together on one card using some pictures, Card Toonz CD and some wire.

Commissioned Card for someone into gardening etc

I was asked for a card for a daughter-in-law who is into gardening. I used various papers and decided to use a Wraptures sent I was given. I regretted using glitters as soon as I started as I got soooooooooooo messy and I DON'T LIKE getting messy. I should have stuck to Sakura pens me thinks!!!!
