Well the next three cards are for an order. I was asked to make two brother and one uncle cards. I know that the gentleman in question is interested in DIY and cycling. I could not find an image which I was happy with for the cycling so I made one with the theme of DIY and the other two I was able to use my imagination. Well the DIY one I have used my Joanna Sheen Messy Rabbit stamp and also the cd rom for the backing papers and. The card is A4 in size and has an a5 opening section on the front which holds the insert. I have had my first go at paper piecing for the rabbit and also used watercolour pencils and markers for the colouring. I have highlighted the 'paint' areas on the toppers with diamond glaze to make them appear wet. The 40 topper was made by colouring chipboard toppers with markers and then using embossing powders to give a gloss effect. This card I have used the Joanna Sheen Jayne Netley Mayhew cd rom. This card is an a4 double pop out card. And this card was mad

This one is from the Joanna Sheen Messy Rabbit cd rom. This one a bella stamped image coloured with watercolour pencils. And this one a penny black image again water coloured. This one is a magnolia stamped image coloured with pencils. This one is a penny black stamped image and I have used the sketch from Papertake Weekly Challenge - #15 however I never got round to posting in time to enter it into the challenge. This one is a dimension forth stamped image coloured with cosmic shimmers. And this one I have used the sketch from Cupcake Craft - Challenge 40 . I have again used a penny black stamped image for this challenge. This is the card I made for the birth of my

This card I made for my husband's birthday. These two were for my stash of cards for my birthday clubs. This one for a friend's birthday. And this is a candle I decorated as part of her gift.

Here are a few cards I have made for some recent orders. The first two were for twin girls on there 1st communion, the lady wanted them to be similar but not identical as you can see the images are the same but the backgrounds and embellishments are different. This one was for her Grandson on his 1st Communion And this for a 60th Birthday and the gentleman liked playing the guitar. The next few cards were for another order. Again this was for another order, a card for someone special!! This card was for a Grandaughters 1st birthday and she loved Upsy Daisy from in the Night Garden.
