bargains and flowers.

Found some clever little embellishments that gives the card a real lift. The were quite a nice suprise when I was searching through the bargains. You fold the petals from the centre and they give a new dimension to the card.




Below is a close up to show a little more clearly how the petals give the flower a lift.

Some more ATC 's

ATC's I have made recently. I have so far traded to Korea,Canada, USA , Denmark, netherlands. Thailand, China and a few more I cannot remeber lol

Ladies of the 30's had a lot of fun with these.




A pocketed ATC.
Two below are roses decoupaged with different surrounding decorations.


I used a thin metal girl as the main image.

Just a bit of lady ga ga in film reel.


The two below have a smilare theme of a decoupaged plant with a metal frame with a butterfly inside to give the illusion of a magnifying glass.





Had great fun making this under water scene. I heat embossed 2 blues to give a water effect , a brass ships wheel ij the corner with tiny fish , starfish and sea horses layered amongst the wee.







This one has layers of papere topped with some material flowers with gems in the centre.

Simple gifts

I don't know if this happens to you, I never have enough note cards and thankyou cards and its always good to have a few emegency Birthday cards.
I just wanted to share with you what I have made for someone and how you can simply present them.

I did a bundle of six Birthday Cards. Simply stamped with inked edges on retro style card stock.




Then a bundle of thankyou cards. You can never have too many of these!



Lastly a small bundle of notelets. Simply stamped again with inked edges.


Then some simple notelets with a dragonfly heat embossed patteren.




As you can see once they are done I simply tie them together with a ribbon.
