Missed birthday

Live More

This card was a request from my elderly neighbour who asked for a card for a librarian who loved to garden, and this was my result.

Cherry Blossoms

For my last birthday I bought myself a set of Schminke watercolors and am now finally playing around with them. These cherry blossoms are my first attempt at loose florals.

Be You!

My daughter asked me to make this for a special friend of hers who was celebrating a birthday and who is a budding artist!

Braids in my Hair

Kit & Clowder recently had a mini monthly class for colouring braids and plaits using this super sweet image called Braids in my Hair by Connie Fong. I love this image and jumped into this class using my prismacolor pencils on kraft paper. So love how she turned out.

Small Surprises

I created a few quick cards with my daughters help (who coloured all of the stamps in) to replenish my depleted card stash recently. We used The Greeting Farm's Small Surprises stamp set and mounted them over simple CAS style stencil or distress ink backgrounds.
