A New Home

I made a New Home card for my nephew and his girlfriend who have just moved to a thatched cotage ....I took a window aperture card and put gold peel off borders around window ,inside is a lovely picture of a piano also bordered with gold peel offs, then a verse, to complement the thatched cottage I found a picture on line and think my nephew will be pleased with their card...

Valentine cards

This red card was made using a ready made topper -it could also be suitable for any occasion I think-to which I added the extra bow at top , co-ordinating corners ,a border of angel hair adds a little sparkle to it .....
Lovely gold card which I used my cuttlebug border of buttons and a topper to which I added Antique Linen distress inks so that it was`nt too white...some bubble letters ......
