Hello crafters, 

I hope you are all keeping well in this cold, damp weather that we are having, especially in Ireland. 

Below I have a few cards that I made over the last few days, they are suitable for any occasion. 

I hope you will enjoy looking at them & maybe get some inspiration... 

I cut all the paper I was using to the size of the cards, I then inked around all the edges to give an aged look. I used foam tape to give height to some of the pictures, this allows you to put lace or other elements underneath. I added some stamping in random places to create interest & texture. 

I then used cheesecloth & sisel underneath the flowers to create a 3D effect, you can then attach the bow & string. I finished off using glass beads, glitter glass, & glitter to further enchance the look of the cards. 

Thank you for stopping by 😄

Journal page 

Journal Page 

Starting with a layer of gesso I then used modelling paste 

with a stencil to create texture. I followed this with some stamping

using archival ink, the stamping adds interest to the page. 

I had a vintage photo of a lady which I layered using cheesecloth 

and sisel to create height on the page. A selection of sprays from 

lindys were used for the colour on the background. 

Vintage Card For a Man 

I used Black gesso first and then used texture paste with a stencil

to create texture. Prima metal cogs, frame and other embellishments 

finish off the card. Beads and waxed give that vintage look. 

Pretty in Pink

A selection of cards with a shabby chic theme. 

I used lace to create layers and lots of flowers, 

Old paper, twine and ribbon..
