COLLECTION of CARDS
WELCOME
I do enjoy making cards as it is so lovely to give
& receive beautifully handcrafted cards
so precious...
I loved the new Vintage Journal Card papers from
MEG'S GARDEN
to design with
these images of the flappers era really appeal to me
as it is my favourite
I chose to leave these 5x7 inch cards in a simple format
to enhance the matted images
frayed muslin, a beaded tassle, lace ribbon & a matching rose to highlight
double matted image, lace, chiffon flowers, ribbon & bling
double matted image, tied ribbon, feathers & flowers with a tangle of thread to complete
Now for the more masculine cards
we all manage to create feminine cards when it comes to a design for the men in our lives we tend to take a big deep breath & shudder at the thought
I hope these help to inspire
Fussy cut around the gentleman with a top hat & leaned him on the 'Celebrate' ticket, a few cogs, mesh ribbon & a tied knot of string
corrugated cardboard is always handy to have
adding a few metal & wooden cogs & again string in a reef knot to finish
corrugated cardboard, tied ribbon, arrows, photo corner &
a metal embellishment bring this card together
I hope these cards have inspired you to create
Whilst your here wander through the blog posts &
see the gorgeousness the GARDEN GIRLS have created
Thanks for visiting
