Goldfinch

I knew it was Steve's birthday coming up. but it threw me a bit when she asked for a goldfinch!! It usually is to do with drinking and I was going to use the Victoria Case digi image of the barmaid. So a quick rethink! And came up with this..................

Dinosaur Birthday Card

I was asked particularly for a dinosaur...................boy did I have a job finding one..........Then I thought of Dustin Pike......I know he does a lot of dragons, so I had a looksy and found this one.......................Phew!! I think it fits the bill for a 3 year old.

Less is More "Off centre"

I had made this card a few weeks ago, but didn't put a sentiment on at the time because I wasn't sure who it was going to. So had to add a sentiment....................On reflection, I think the sentiment would have been better printed on, but as I am having trouble getting my printer to print on heavier card at the moment, I had no option anyway!

This is being entered into the new challenge from Less is More this week. And the recipe this week is "Off Centre"

More acetate butterflies

A friend saw the get well card I made recently and wanted a 50th birthday card for her friend in the same style. As I am into acetate butterflies at the moment, no prizes for guessing what I did!

Easter card with Acetate Butterflies

I had an unexpected Easter card from my neighbours this morning, so set to work to return one. (I don't normally send Easter cards)

As I had some more printable acetate arrive yesterday I thought I would incorporate more butterflies onto this card, just to show how delicate they can appear. They are a devil trying to photograph though!! If you fold them with their wings almost closed they will stay like that and just pop back when you take it out of the envelope!

This is another entry into Less is More this week, whose guidelines this week is the use of Acetate.

Get well card

For an 11 year old girl who has broken her arm. I have loads and loads of images but not one suitable for a girl with a broken arm. So I played it safe with this image from Doodle Pantry and just sent hugs.

The base card is from The clipart fairy called large flower frame.

Less is More Week 11 Mk 2

I've been meaning to give this a go for a while, after seeing Janeygrey on crafters reunited forum make one similar. Ah I thought.........this will suit the challenge on Less is More this week, which is acetate. I printed the card front out just a wee bit smaller than the base card which is 6 x 6 then cut a piece of acetate 6 x 6.5. Added a small contrasting border on the acetate, top and bottom, then I scored down both sides of the longer sides, and wrapped it around the card front before adhering it to the card blank. Thus hiding all the tape and adhesive. It gives a sort of bubble effect, as you can see by the second photo.
