Three cards ...


A6 Card made using Joanna Sheen's Jayne Netley Mayhew Collie Stamp, including the sentiment. The Collie image was coloured in using Lyra water colours. Both were matted on silver mirri and 3D foamed. Finished off with a ribbon and a Martha Stewart border.

This is an A6 Card made using an image from the Oh La La Shoes in Bloom CD. The sentiment was made in MCS and I also used the Blur feature.


Made this using the Oh La La Shoes in Bloom CD, but this is an A5 card. The images were faux matted and layered using MCS. The background paper is the matching one for the images, which are called Summer Garden. I also used the matching insert.

Easel Anniversary Card ....


... my first ever easel card. This was made from MCS Enchanted Romance CD. I used an element sheet, as well as a greetings sheet. The main image was matted onto white card and stuck on with 3D foam tape. The insert was reduced down to A5 landscape and I typed the sentiment directly on it. Finished it off with some pearls either end of the sentiment and also across the faux ribbon. A matching envelope was also made up. Thanks for looking.

The sentiment colour was changed to one of the blues from the picture using the dropper tool. Added a faux ribbon whose colour I changed, and hey presto a card. Also did an insert and an envelope using the same image. Thanks for looking.

Jigsaw Card ...



... the actual card is A4 card stock, folded in half to make A5. The picture on the front is one of my own taken at the Coylet Inn, Loch Eck at the back end of last year. This has been nestabilitied (?!) and matted and 3D onto white card that has had green ink round the edge. The sentiment is also "greened". Finished off with three green buttons and an organza ribbon. This card is for a older gentleman who was rushed to hospital yesterday with breathing difficulties. He likes jigsaw puzzles, so I printed out the same picture and used my Wizard die to make the jigsaw, which I have put in a cello bag. Thanks for looking.
