More mushrooms.

 I created this card to share with a friend who wanted to use this image.

It's a long time since I last made a simular card and I really enjoyed it. The old ones are definately the best and no gimmicks!

Toadstools

 I'm not a lover of quilling myself (although I've seen some lovely examples by other people) 

Occasionally though I want to us a 12 x 12 paper for some. I pass it through a shredder and use it for a project. This is how I made these toadstools.  The technique is a form of 3d quilling.

Special anniversary

 For anyone to stay married for 50 years nowadays is a real achievement so I wanted to make a special card for someone I know who has.

I pricked out the pattern first then coloured it before doing the stitching. I added a few gems and peel offs to complete. Hope they'll like it!

Say it with flowers!

 I wanted to try a concept card so I collected 3 papers together from a paper pack. I arranged them onto my card blank and added a decoupage topper. I also turned some of the flowers into 3d images. 

Although it's quite busy I was pleased with the finished result!

Dhalia fold cards

 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!

Second anniversary

 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. 

Alice is 1!

 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.
