these flowers were made from the pages of old text..very delicate to work with but fashioned with vintage buttons ..this came up very well.
these colours work well for a masculine card ...
Hi there Bloggers, 

i am lucky enough to sell my cards to my friends to cover my costs. I have a few people who regularly  support me. This card is an engagement card for a friend. I hope she is happy with it. Let me know what you think xx

This is a picture of myself taken by my clever teenager Tom, I said take a good one and well i am very happy with the result. I would love if Tom became savvy behind the lens and saw things from a creative perspective. Tom is very scientific but it seems he is quite good with the camera..maybe he could combine the both xx love you babe. (Tom is my strict censor.. very honest and has a keen eye. ) xx
I love the earthy elements I have included in this card. The tissue, jute, old penny and all the distressed look of a bygone era. This is another of my cards I have published.

My son turned 15 recently. I wanted to try adhesive metal foil...i am pleased with this for my first attempt. I have lots of ideas how to use this marvelous , versatile product. My cards always have a metal element of some sort on them. I am inspired by the silver balls in Adelaide's Rundle Mall...Ii researched this sculpture in Art at school...a long time ago.. Metal  rocks my world xx
