I have been meaning to put this up for ages, it is from my friend YY’s birthday. It is also the inspiration for the card that I made for my friend Emma’s daughter, although in that case I made it more suitable for a child. However this is the one I made first, and YY […]
Made this for a friend who likes the Wizard of Oz (and doggies!). I got to use my Graphic 45 stamps and papers that I bought for my birthday last year (my present to myself, yay!), that have been sitting there temptingly for some time. But I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with […]
We have a contractor at work who is getting married on Saturday, registry office as her ‘real’ wedding will be in Europe next year wit her family. We are going to have a morning tea for her on Friday, and I made this card for the team to sign. I was playing with sepia, blue […]
As I mentioned last year, I had some lovely artwork made by the daughters of a friend, which I now have on display on my wall at home. Recently one of these little girls has been very sick (the 2 year old), and so I decided to make her a card. And to avoid jealousy […]
One of my colleagues is getting married on Wednesday. I made this for our team to give her at an afternoon tea we threw her last week. Given how many wedding cards I seem to do at work, I wanted to do something different. I know the colour the bridesmaids are wearing (it came up […]
I made this when I was playing around with vintage photo distress ink before Christmas (when I was waiting for my order of stamps to arrive). Base white card edged with vintage photo ink, then stamped with script stamp. Gears stamped in top and bottom corners. On a separate piece of card, colour sponged lightly […]
I made this when I was messing around trying to come up with an alternate design to replace my Christmas cards. I wondered if I could use it as a New Year’s card design, but in the end felt that it didn’t work for me that way. However I do really like the images and […]
This was for D’s birthday. A piece of Graphic 45 ‘Race for Time’ paper that has been crumped and swiped with distress ink, then flattened again. Edges have been distressed with a distressing tool then swiped with distress ink. Mounted on white textured card which has been distressed with ink. Sponged aged mahogony distress ink […]
It has been a while since I posted here, my christmas cards didn’t happen. I had a design all worked out, and then the stamps I ordered to make it didn’t arrive in time. I played around to see if I could modify them as New Years cards but alas I could not. So that […]
A very dear family friend, one I considered an honourary aunt while growing up, received a very special honour last week. Valda became the third ever Australian to receive the Papal honour of the Benemerenti Medal. Originally awarded to military recipients, first issued in 1831 under Pope Pius VI, since 1925 it has also been […]
