Old Fashioned Thanks card.

With another year of blogging coming to an end I am sharing a card I created with thanks to all my readers for stopping by and those of you that left comments.

In this card I used many design elements that I love; Tassels, Band/Hat Box I created, Roses, Lace, Script and of course Photography.

To be continued in the New Year!

Dried botanical Happy Birthday card.

Created this using kleenex and wax paper; making a sandwich then hand stitched to anchor it all together. Placed it on one of my own textured backgrounds for visual display.

This is for sale as a card on my Red Bubble site:

Thanks for reading.

Dreams appeared gift box w botanical window.

Used Tattered Angels masks and sprays to create the background on this cardboard gift box. For the opening I created a "sandwich" of botanicals, wax paper and kleenex, and a snippet of sheet music that I found in my scrap pile on my studio table. Punched two holes below window and added a cotton ribbon I hand stamped the words "dream". Will fill with my hand made goodies and give as a gift.

Mini card series 2 using vintage looking playing card etc

Had fun using the set of playing cards by making mini cards with them. The bottom card looks flat but it is a oval image placed on the mini card with foam dots then tied the string at bottom.

Cameo tray with lace underlay.

Adhered the lace to bottom of tray then added cameo images and "cameo" centre with a gimp and bead surround. On the top of the tray I placed a vintage hat pin. Placed glass over it to conceal the different textured layers and sealed edges with silicone, then used beads to conceal the glue. Gave this away as a wedding gift. PS: I apologize for the reflection in the glass of me taking the picture - don't have that mastered yet! Thanks for looking.

My Dream - music cover pedestal.

Used the cover of a vintage music book to cover this pedestal top. This would look lovely on or near the piano. Thanks for viewing!

Some more mini envelopes from upcycled papers.

Used various papers for these mini envelopes. A great way to upcycle old papers and some of my art papers which I created using coffee in a spray bottle over a plastic lace tablecloth.

Martini glass with some pizzaz!

Used vintage papers on the outside of this glass. Painted the bottom with black acrylic paint then gave it a coat of liquid floor wax. Can be filled with paper clips if using in the home office or candy or if you sew, a great place to store pins and needles. Digital background texture courtesy of Kim Klassen.
