Garden Album

Remember the other day I showed you this: Well here’s the assembled book.  The front is done with English Ivy and Summer Skies, then the embossed tree has been rubbed over with black archival ink, as have the edges. The heavy duty acetate gates on the front come with a protective film on them which [...]

Blossom Tree Card

Here’s a card that I made at the open days this weekend. It features the Tattered Angels Blossom Screen Print stamps.  I used the tree top as a background stamp too, with Pumpkin Spice Versamagic ink on a white pearlescent card.  I love the way it works as a general flourish as well as a [...]

CHA Photos

It took us two days to realise that the photography ban at the CHA show wasn’t exactly being enforced by anyone.  By then we’d walked the floor and were concentrating on going back to specific booths to place orders, so I didn’t get many photos at all. Doveen from Dove of the East is releasing [...]

Unfinished Symphony

Kin ya giss whadditis yit? I am so good at unfinished bits and pieces – it’s my forte.  This is two pieces of Glimmer Glass with a piece of thread between them, I’m trying to stick the two together with Stickles.  The thread is taped down to a piece of scrap card to keep it [...]
