This was a card I made last month for a girlfriend and my entry into the competition.

This is the one that took 7 goes to get the border perforations right.  Lack of concentration me thinks.The gold wording hasn't scanned well and says
Wishing you Happiness.

I took the card to bits and replaced the background and redid the suntool work as I  wasn't happy with either.  I think the other blue deadened it.

Trial run for a 90th Birthday card needed for May. I tried doing the flowers without an outline but I prefer them with one.  Also need  a better frame. And the butterfly looks sick.

This one is just stamping on to white hammered card and then watercolours.



JS CD Cardmaker's Year for the image and background paper.



Stamped and painted images and some fun ribbon I have had for ages and wanted to use somewhere.

A new stamp this year bought at a show.  I thought it could do for all sorts of occasions.  I hate buying stamps that will only do for one thing.  I used Art pens instead of watercolour paints this time.  Used with water and a brush but just a softer range of colours.  Background is from JS Cardmaker's Year CD.

Another new stamp this year from a sheet of clear ones.  I never plan my cards in advance - they just sort of happen once I have a topper or some such.
I wasn't quite sure what has happened here but after I had painted the rabbit and her bonnet  somehow little ones and pink and blue seemed to shout at me  - so here we are.  Perhaps a card to go with an egg.!

Easter Card from Ooh-La-La Kiddiwinks CD.
I made the background by weaving strips of Robert Addams gingham backing papers.  Just love those ducks.

Pattern from a new parchment book purchased recently.  I am a bit disappointed as I used the specific colours suggested but seems a lot
darker than the picture in the book.  I think I would like to do this again but with my own colour choice - and a better black ink border.

This is the card I made for Joyce.  I enjoyed every moment of making a special card for a special lady for her special day.

I have just finished making this topper for a card for a friend who will be 90 in May.  She was a contemporary of my late Mother and I hadn't seen her until recently for at least 30 years.  I will now try to find a suitable card to mount it on.
