A Quote from Gail...

Gail left this great little poem in the comments section of the last post I made to go along with the tissue / pocket cards. Thank you Gail, I'm going to add the quote on the inside of my cards!!

A Few Cards

I made each of these cards with inspiration from my online card group, Cardcamp. These two tissue cards are based on a great card by one of the lovely card artists over there, Deloris. I just loved the idea of a placing a tissue on a Get Well card... why haven't I ever thought of that before??

This card was made for our weekly Case Card challenge. I painted the ferns with distress inks, scanned and printed a couple of them, then layered little squares on top of a complete image.

Textured Card

I'm very excited about an upcoming Shoe Box swap taking place at my cardmaking group. For those who have never been involved in one, a Shoe Box swap is basically where participants come up with a card design, put together kits, place everything in a box and then the boxes are handed around the table for each participant to make one of what's inside. Anyway, I'm doing this white on white card using lots of different textures and a stamped sentiment (I think it's a Stamping Up one). The pearls and the ribbon appear a little yellow in the pictures, but I think it's my lack of photography skills that caused it!

Pirate Girl

As you can see, I have posted two images of the pirate girl. The first one is my original hand-drawing that is scanned and uploaded, which is what I normally post. The second image has been retraced in a drawing program before being uploaded. I'm really interested to know what you all think about the difference between the two... which is easier to use, etc.

I've been feeling a wee touch piratey lately so decided to design some new images for you to use. I hope you'll find this latest series of designs useful for kid's cards, invitations and other swashbuckling projects.

Christmas Lantern

This is the image I used for the cards in my previous post, which I coloured with distress inks and a water brush. I added a nice glow around the outside of the lantern glass with some yellow ink that fades out softly giving the appearance of a slow burning flame.

Christmas Lantern Cards

Each month I make five Christmas cards to avoid the last minute rush in December. I generally play along with the challenge over at Christmas Cards All Year Round, which helps to keep me inspired with fun ideas and lots of great sample cards. This month I made five cards using this image of a Christmas lantern nestled among pretty flowers and holly branches.
