Having practised round tea bag folding and completing a mandala I thought I'd create some designs of my own.
Each one of these cards is made using the tiles created in the dahlia fold but re- arranged to make different flowers. I think they look quite effective!
I made this card for my daughters second anniversary. (Its cotton) Its a prick n stitch design.
I created the pattern using a pricking tool and used a double thread throughout. The greeting and flowers were peel offs and the picture was apllied to a dark brown deckle edged mount.
Recently our youngest granddaughter Alice turned 1 so I wanted to make a card just for her.
I made a recess card and put all of the decoupage inside the aperture. I then punched out some daisies to decorate the surround. I tried to limit the colours so that the over all effect was subtle.
Today my eldest daughter Sam, is 36 and I think back to how different things were 36 years ago!
Using my favourite media (and because Sam always liked strawberries) I made this card specially for her. Hope she liked it and really enjoyed her day!
Someone gave me a pattern for a rocker card some time ago but this is the first time I've made one up.
The papers are from Hunky Dory. I fussy cut the design to separate the flowers and leaves. I rearranged then on the card then stuck half of the frame on the back. I added a few gems and a gold greeting.
I was pleased with the finished effect and couldn't stop playing with it!
I thought I'd do some cards that weren't on white card stock for a change.
I made these designs from bottle green card. I also die cut the corners from the same colour. Then I cut a circle and an oval in black ( one for each card) and applied the decoupage to each one. I mounted the toppers onto a bright colour to add a frame. I think it's nice to ring the changes now and again.
I recently made this card for a friend who's nephew has taken up golf.
