Classical Butterfly

I made this very unusual card using an exquisitely beautiful image of a Butterfly I purchased from a craft website weeks ao! I really LOVED working with this image and enjoyed putting together this card using this lovely classical B & W paper which works just perfectly with it, wrapping paper bought from a shop! I used a very interestin ribbon with beaded tassles on it and some lace too then finished off with stitching on white beads and punched out diasies reliefed. xx

Blueberyy Hill

These are a couple of my most recent card makes! I have been inspred for a while to try out painting my stamped images and, have to say doing so has been a therapeutic joy! To be able to paint again is a real joy and a big passion of mine, so to be able to paint in my favourite medium, WC, I have been really excited to be painting again! I can not do without my Rembrandt WC paints either, best paints ever to have and use for their vibrancy and quality too and the price well, you can not beat it! We sell them on our website www.trinity4arts.co.uk! check it out, if you get a spare 5 mis or 10, 15 or more.....! I used my new Bluebery Hill papers for these two cards and did a lot of stitching too! Thank you very much for looking! The two images were provided by the lovely Charlotte (Craftycharl) over on te CB Forum!

Series of Fairy Cards

I am in the middle of handcrafting a series of Fairy cards for a very special occasion. Instead of showing you them all individually so far, I am just posting my first card that I made for the series to give an idea of them as, they are all done in the same way and similar layout! Once they are all done, I shall post a pic of them all together! All sequins, beads and flowers are hand stitched on on top of the ribons also!

Pyramid Decoupage

This is a birthday card that I made for my Auntie using beautiful floral paper given to me in a RAK by Karen (Copse) over on the CB fprum! I stitched on all the sequins and beads and used a pyramid decoupage design!

Bunny with Bonnet

Easter! Ohhh.....the though of chocolate makes me hungry and even more so when Easter springs! I am ever so late at starting my easter cards but I just had to make them this year, afterall I did buy this Cute Bonnet Bunny Stamp from the Glitter Pot recently for this reason! So, the other week I started stamping out the image several times and the other night I just started to watercolour them in using my Rembrandt WC paints, only paints I ever use for the quality of colour, so rich and vibrant! These are Dutch paints and what we sell on our website!
I really enjoyed making this EAster card where I ave sticky fixed it onto patterned paper and used a satin pink ribbon & I stitched on flat cirlce sequins with green beads to help bring out the image and balance it all off! Thanks for looking!

Fairy Series

I have been busy creating a series of Fairy cards for many special people recently and, these are being made for something special! I have basically taken images of Fairies and sticky fixing to patterned papers and mounting on top of more patterned papers and used ribbons to frame around the fairy image. Then I have stitched on sequins and beads to add some dazzle and shimmer to the whole design and, have used punched out daisy flowers and on one I have usd a fabric flower, something I do not normally use! I am still working on this series of fairy cards and can not wait to see them all out as a collection!
