One of my all-time favourite tv adaptations is House of Cards with Ian Richardson and Susannah Harker. It was a 4-part BBC mini series based on a novel by Michael Dobbs, although the ending was quite significantly changed. Dobbs then wrote two subsequent books based on the ending that the mini series created. The series […]
I have been meaning to put this up for ages, it is from my friend YY’s birthday. It is also the inspiration for the card that I made for my friend Emma’s daughter, although in that case I made it more suitable for a child. However this is the one I made first, and YY […]
Made this for a friend who likes the Wizard of Oz (and doggies!). I got to use my Graphic 45 stamps and papers that I bought for my birthday last year (my present to myself, yay!), that have been sitting there temptingly for some time. But I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with […]
We have a contractor at work who is getting married on Saturday, registry office as her ‘real’ wedding will be in Europe next year wit her family. We are going to have a morning tea for her on Friday, and I made this card for the team to sign. I was playing with sepia, blue […]
There was a competition that I entered this week, to create an artwork inspired by the Great Gatsby. No images or stills from the new movie could be used. I decided to do a mixed media collage on a canvas. I had a lot of 1920s and vintage images that were suitable, and I printed […]
As I mentioned last year, I had some lovely artwork made by the daughters of a friend, which I now have on display on my wall at home. Recently one of these little girls has been very sick (the 2 year old), and so I decided to make her a card. And to avoid jealousy […]
One of my colleagues is getting married on Wednesday. I made this for our team to give her at an afternoon tea we threw her last week. Given how many wedding cards I seem to do at work, I wanted to do something different. I know the colour the bridesmaids are wearing (it came up […]
I made this when I was playing around with vintage photo distress ink before Christmas (when I was waiting for my order of stamps to arrive). Base white card edged with vintage photo ink, then stamped with script stamp. Gears stamped in top and bottom corners. On a separate piece of card, colour sponged lightly […]
A few weeks ago I was able to get into a mixed media class – on a cancellation at the very last minute – with visiting Polish artist Finnabair (Anna Dabrowska). It was a 4 hour workshop, and I was able to take the morning off work. However as I was working til late, and […]
I made this when I was messing around trying to come up with an alternate design to replace my Christmas cards. I wondered if I could use it as a New Year’s card design, but in the end felt that it didn’t work for me that way. However I do really like the images and […]
