Colour stripes

I have ordered this paper time and time again. Originally it was from a seaside range but I find it works really well with silhouette stamps. What do you think?
These stamps are from another set made by Hobby Art. They are scrummy x

Shirt and tie

I've never made a shirt and tie card but I see all sorts of variations of them on Pinterest so I though it was about time I had a go.
What attracted me to this one is that the tie is made using simple origami.
With a bit of refinement, these would make great thank you cards for groomsmen. X

You're the greatest

This glasses paper has been sitting in my cupboard for ages waiting for me to make a scrapbook page  but the other day I suddenly realised that it would also look great on a mans card.

I think it turned out ok.
Another card tomorrow x

Special birthday

Made in class a few weeks ago, this card can be adapted for any special birthday.
The flowers were coloured to match or compliment the background papers.
This would also make a great anniversary card. X

Princess

The paper I used for this background was lovely but I thought it needed something so out came the homemade texture paste , stencil and my chalk paints and voila, instant wording. It made to perfect background for this old photo of my niece who is getting married this year. (Goodness, hasn't time flown).

And the detail










Loved making this one, especially making the flowers. I am learning all the time. X
