This is my most recent card made! I have used an image from the Diary of An Edwardian lady booklet as my basis and main focus here. Don't you just love these images of flowers, all so very delicate and pretty and very feminine too! This is why I have called it "Delicacy"! I sticky fixed to all hte papers used in the card and on each corner have stitched on square transparent buttons for interest and texture. On the 4th corner I added on a fabric flower for interest and unusuality! Keeps the subtley of the whole card together! I have used matting here, first time used, and thoroughly enjoyed using this craft technique (layers of papers added onto each other flat). This form of techinque was inspired from my dear friend Sarah Louise (tiggertastic over at CB forum) and used some Basic Grey papers and Regency paper too, given to me by Irene (Witchqueen over at CB Forum) topped on top of the base paper paisley patterned! Finished off with another couple of buttons and pearls and bicone beads adding more texture! TFL xx
I am a keen and passionate cardmaker, living in the Magical Kingdom of Fife where dreams really do come true! I started cardmaking over 4 years ago whilst studying my degree in Textile Design. We were doing a cardmaking assignment and it all stemmed from there. I have used my design & colour skills from college into my cardmaking and create "individual unique" one off handcrafted cards for family, friends, wedding couples and for selling in a small gift shop! I love to use beads, sequins, ribbons, patterned papers, wires, Amy Butler Fabrics and scrapbooking papers and other fabrics. Techniques in cardmaking that I am obsessed with are: stitching, sewing, decoupage, embossing and triple embossing, stamping and using punches. I am wanting to try my hand at Iris Folding and start making little embellished items for the home and to give as gifts for birthdays and xmas presents. I have just not long ventured into making bookmarks and am so pleased that I am going to start giving as gifts to Bookworms! I also create mixed media craft works onto canvasses which are loved and appeciated by the receivers.
