Black and Copper

Using the copper technique can produce some great effects. By drawing swirly designs on the back of pieces of copper you get a raised effect. The copper goes beautiful shades of orange and pink when heated, and this contrast with the black card works really well.

Super Stamps

I was given lots of super stamps for Christmas. Here are some of the cards I've made using them. The background on the celebrate card was produced using a peel off sticker and sponging with bright coloured ink.


All these motifs were embossed after stamping. Holographic embossing powders give a subtle sparkle while shiny black looks elegant on the Rennie Mackintosh inspired card. Water colour pencils enhance details.

Minibeasts

These googly-eyed insects intrigue young children and create a jungle feel when set against this large patterned background paper.

Presents

Holographic embossing powder gives a subtle sparkle to the stamped present motifs in the background. The topper is embellished with flat backed crystals and finished with a quilled parcel.

Anyone For Golf?

A "man" card, using the iris folding technique. This works perfectly with the motif - indicating the golfer's swing.

Birthday Snaps

It's often hard to find good birthday cards for men - most come covered in flowers or hearts. This one is fun and perfect for any budding photographers!
