Creating Textured Cards using Verdant Garden.

Creating Textured Cards using Verdant Garden is a favourite technique of mine. For this card I have shown some different ways to add texture to your card. These couple of techniques are quick and easy but add such a huge impact. Of course it is not something that appeals to everyone and can be left clean. The papers and layout are beautiful so can easily be left as they are. Because I love this technique so much I did a Facebook Live and I have now uploaded to my You Tube ... VIEW POST

Mothers Day Tea Time Together, reflects a perfect way to celebrate the day. Besides a perfect excuse to bring out all that beautiful China that normally sits in the cabinet.

Going Dotty Under My Umbrella is a cute card that I wanted to make light and happy. We all need a smile at the moment and this Bundle certainly does that.

They are stunning I love all the different options but especially the gorgeous flower papers. I have also created another card using these Suites ... VIEW POST

Making the Most Of Botanical Prints Medley

Making the most of Botanical Prints Medley came about because it sold out! I Love this Medley and had done a couple of videos to promote it. I was so excited to see it was 60% off in the Retiring list that I thought I would promote that. By the time I finished my Facebook Live it had sold out!

Sailing Home Sepia Style

Sailing Home Sepia Style is a card that I created for this months Global Video Hop. The theme was masculine which is often something I struggle with, do you? My first go to was the Come Sail Away Suite, I find every element in this suite inspiring. A technique that I love is also water colour wash so I decided to incorporate that with double stamping to create the card. I love how this turned out and I think the washed out effect with Sepia really makes the card. I have created another ... VIEW POST
