Stamp it, cut it, bake it, make it, paint it, stick it, sew and wear it. Snap it, sketch it, pin it, write it, play it, ply it, stop: re-write it. Try it, test it, learn it, link it, plan it, think it, pen and ink it. Share it, give it, show it, grow it, keep it, wrap it, pack and send it.

Card Season
I've just completed a rather large project - putting together a collection of handmade cards for my mother-in-law's birthday (which she was very happy with!). The challenge was always to design a card that looks good but is very simple to make - I was making three or five of each design, and wanted to work quickly. Here are the final cards I added to the collection.

Really lovely set of cards. The poppy one is gorgeous, did you colour it in? Glad your MIL liked them. I love the teapot one as well.
ReplyDeleteI really love the poppy one too :) I'd love to know how you did it.
ReplyDeleteooh thanks! The poppy one was an Artemio set, and I used different shades of green to give the depth. Then I stamped, powdered and heat embossed the red flowers - thankfully it was thick enough that the green stems didn't show through. Then another little stamp, powder and heat emboss for the black centre. x
