My brother and sister-in-law live in London. When they came to visit last year, my s-i-l liked some of my mixed media artwork (which she hadn’t seen before), particularly the floral steampunk one I did at the class with Finnabair. So during their visit I got hold of a black and white photo from their […]
I knew there was another one with My Mother’s Dress stamp! This was from a family friend’s wedding in February.
A wedding card (using a favourite stamp) and a farewell card. Although this stamp, My Mother’s Dress, is not strictly a wedding one, I find it works well on wedding cards if I am designing for the bride. I used it a few years ago for my manager, although this time I was going for […]
I have not posted for a while, as I was extremely busy with work right up to the day I went to Europe (yay) for nearly a month. There was sightseeing involved of course, but the main purpose was to attend my brother’s wedding. He has lived in London for the past 10 years, and […]
I realised that although I had mentioned making a wedding card for a colleague, I had not actually put it up here. N was returning to Sri Lanka for a very colourful and vibrant wedding, and I wanted to reflect that in my card design. So here it is – brightly coloured and using one […]
This is for a family member, I posted it off last week so I hope it arrives soon. And because of the embellishments I actually put it in a padded envelope, so no need for a stamp on the card envelope. It was actually very difficult to come up with a concept and colour palette, […]
In February I attended a wedding that was held to coincide with Chinese New Year. I decided to go with the theme, and use some of my asian papers. I did a similar design for friends a number of years ago, but haven’t used it since (and that time I used my Luck Dragon stamp […]
So chatting with a male colleague on Monday afternoon, I found out he is getting married *this* Friday. As I drove home I mentally cast my mind over colour schemes and images that I had handy, and then spent about half an hour assembling materials before I started. This was an interesting challenge – I […]
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 […]
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 […]
