Welcome

I am new to blogging but have been making cards for a couple of years now. I thought it was time to share some of my cards with you all.

Here are some of my most recent makes.

 

A sympathy card for a friend who recently lost a very dear member of her family. The card was sent on behalf of a group of ladies who wanted to pass on their thoughts. The Flower fairy topper was from the Flower fairy edition of LMC (Lets make cards) kit. I used pearlised card in two shades of green and a cream & Green Organza ribbon purchased from a local craft shop and the pink gems were from my stash.

  

This card was made by request for a friend who has a wedding coming up. The colour theme was inspired by the invite which was chocolate brown and cream. The base card is pearlised warm cream accented with chocolate brown and gold organza ribbon. The bouquet is cream paper roses with gold leaves and more organza ribbon, the champagne bottle is made from pearlised gold card. The card is finished off with gold peel offs. There is a handmade box to complement the card in matching pearlised warm cream and topped off with organza ribbon.

  

 Another wedding card, made for a collegue who married In July. Base card is hammered cream card from Papermill, with a silver paper mat and pearlised lilac card from Crafters Companion paper/card pack. The image is from a free clipart site on the net(sorry can't remember the site's name to acknowledge) with the cans being "held onto" the car with strings of mini pearls. Heart shaped gems from stash. This also had a box to complement the card made from same hammered card and finished off with white satin ribbon and bow.
