Tartan 25th Anniversary ...

... requested ... along with a Westie dog, and some heather!!! So I made this using the Glitter Girls Tall Stories and Open Hearts Board. Finished off with a ribbon and some peel-offs. The circles were made using Wizard circle dies. Also made a silver box with acetate hearts cut out ... peel-offs, gems and a ribbon to finish it off!

A5 Oriental "Thank You" ...

... made again using the Cup Cake Crafting Oriental CD ... but this time, it is a decoupaged image of a white peony ... I just loved this image, and the backing paper printed on vellum, was just so lovely. I also used a piece of the backing paper on the inside of the card, just for a contrast. Brads hold the vellum on the front of the card. A sentiment is put on 3D pads to raise it up a bit.

Oriental "Thinking of You" card ...

... for a friend, and I hope it cheers her up a bit. Again printed on A6 linen card from the Cup Cake Oriental CD. Finished off with a peel-off.

Scrap Magic Thank You ...

... commissioned card. A5 green card with an image from Joanna Sheen's Fabulous Flowers CD used with the octagonal Scrap Magic template, which has been matted onto pale green card and a white background. Finished off with some peel-offs!

Sunflower ....

... "Thinking of You" card ... printed on A5 acetate with a white linen card behind with the sentiment stuck on it in the aperature. The image is from CupCake Crafting Oriental CD Rom. Finished off with a silk ribbon.

Oriental Thank You ....

... for some lads that delivered the furniture to us. Just wanted an image that wasn't too feminine!! Liked this one from CupCake Crafting Oriental CD Rom. Printed direct onto A5 linen card.
