New Tonic Rococo dies card

I saw the Rococo Faries dies on a certain craft selling TV channel & had to have them (and in just the click of a button my Tonic die collection has tripled!).

Being a little boy I had to use the Waltzingmouse 'Kaboom' stamp set I got with my Birthday money (in case you… Continue reading Josh’s 1st Birthday card

Niece’s 7th Birthday Card

My youngest Niece turns 7 today! How time flies!! I've seen so many cards using watercolour techniques that look amazing & I keep jealously thinking "hmmm, mine would never look that good - it would run everywhere and look aweful", but then I thought to myself - I have watercolour paper, water-based inks, paint brushes,… Continue reading Niece’s 7th Birthday Card

Let me know if you think I got it right! I bought the Creative Expressions 'Finishing Touches - Camellia -… Continue reading Mother’s Day Card 2015

Charlie’s 30th Birthday card

Next week another of my friends will be turning 30, but I'm travelling to a two-day veterinary conference later today so I need to make the card now because I won't have time whilst I'm away. My friend is a sound engeneer so music was an obvious choice of theme for his card. I've seen… Continue reading Charlie’s 30th Birthday card

Masculine birthday card

It will be my Godmother's husband's birthday this week, so I'm making him this card before they fly to the Scilly Isles for a birthday treat. You're probably already aware I like Acid Drops and Whatnots. I got some toppers from them & I think this set is rather good - it's called 'Martini Man'.… Continue reading Masculine birthday card
