My brother and sister-in-law live in London. When they came to visit last year, my s-i-l liked some of my mixed media artwork (which she hadn’t seen before), particularly the floral steampunk one I did at the class with Finnabair. So during their visit I got hold of a black and white photo from their […]
Over the Easter weekend I held a card stall at a gaming convention, an alternative to running a game as I had been unwell and didn’t have time to write it. I didn’t do my usual range of cards, instead focusing on a range that reflected the themes of the games – fantasy, horror, historical, […]
One of my team members became engaged while she was on holidays recently. I made this for her Cream card folded to make a square. Edged in Antique Linen distress ink. Square butterfly and text paper cut to fit, distressed and inked around the edges. Attached to card, thne flower on gold paper added to […]
I created this for the August 2014 Craft stamper ‘Take it, make it‘, it is the first time I have entered anything like this and I enjoyed the opportunity to play around and challenge myself. NOTE: sadly I missed out uploading this by the cut off (I blame the International Date Line), but I still […]
I realised that although I had mentioned making a wedding card for a colleague, I had not actually put it up here. N was returning to Sri Lanka for a very colourful and vibrant wedding, and I wanted to reflect that in my card design. So here it is – brightly coloured and using one […]
I have a few posts to catch up on all the cards I have been doing. I will hold off on posting my steampunk Christmas design for now, but I am pretty happy with it so far. I need to make a few adjustments and I think add a contrasting coloured ink, but other than […]
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 very dear family friend, one I considered an honourary aunt while growing up, received a very special honour last week. Valda became the third ever Australian to receive the Papal honour of the Benemerenti Medal. Originally awarded to military recipients, first issued in 1831 under Pope Pius VI, since 1925 it has also been […]
As part of my ongoing clean up and clear out of things around the house, I have been sorting through lots of my crafting materials. I much prefer to regift these to friends than just throw them out, so I did a bit of a call to find out who was interested in various things. […]
My best friend’s daughter is obsessed with the Eiffel Tower. His family are French Mauritian, many of them are multi lingual (sadly not my friend so much), and one of them gave little G a tshirt with Eiffel Tower on it. It immediately became her favourite thing, and she has a book on it, and […]
