Bambi card







































Bambi and friends were decoupaged. The white card was decorated
using a stamp of a branch and stamped round to enclose Bambi.
The 'grass' is made of several layers of snippedgreen quilling paper.
Simple but effective

Alan's Mum's card




















Done with the bookatrix. Had to be a special card for an 83rd birthday!

Border Collie Card




























A very simple Kanban card. I LOVE this card as
the image very closely resembles a Border Collie
that was a family pet.

The Great Outdoors



A commercial decoupage was placed on a scene of the Scottish Highlands.
The card was finished off with matching backing paper and a matching badge

The New Irish Baby Card

This was done in decoupage and as befits an Irish baby a lot of green teddies in the
backing paper. I used 'gemstones' to highlight the stars

A few more teddies with an embossed gold-lined inside and
the insert was printed on the computer. I then used a border
punch to decorate the edges and double-sided tape to stick
it into place

champagne card


























This card when closed the champagne bottle slid
onto the front of the card

Cliff's Card



This was a photo of the large oak tree outside the house. Cliff, who is a
tree surgeon is seen here hanging upside down from the tree!The photo is
decoupaged and a gold edging with birthday greetings on the side

Angel Birthday Card





































This trifold card was tied with ribbon. You can see the angel just peeking out.
On the right-hand side I made a medallion from shrink plastic, glazed it with gold
enamel powder and before it cooled added a metal angel charm.
A hole was made into the medallion before I shrunk it. I attached it to the card
 with some shaped wire and a ribbon.

Inside Angel Card




















I was asked to make this card for a lady who is a very strong believer
in angels.The decoupage was mounted on paper taken from a card
 for every day of the year cd, very apt paper for this card!

The Angel originally had Christmas goodies in her basket but
I covered these with Flower soft and made it look like she was holding
a basket of flowers. I intentionally put no stickerson the decoupage so
that the lady I made this for could frame it, which she did.

Dolphin card







































The decoupaged dolphins were layered on metallic paper on top of the blue
shiny card. Silver edging and corners were added and the greeting and
name pad were raised with 3d foam

Inside Horse Card



















The backing horsey paper complimented the theme of the decoupage.
A typed insert was added with tiny little silver horseshoes and a bottle
and 2 glasses added on 3d foam and coloured in added to the card

Horse Card




































This was a very pleasant card to make. The horse scene is in decoupage.

The backing paper was from a cd giving you a paper for every day of the year
to match the person's birthday.
I framed the decoupage, the ribbon had her name in silver letters stuck on as
well as the flower. I also layered the card in matching paper
