I made this Get Well card for a lovely lady who is in hospital at the moment and is likely to be convalescing at home for some time. Here goes. I cut a strip of Bravo Burgundy card stock and stamped the Dot to Dot from the new mini in versamark as a background and […]

A Sense of Time, Sincere Salutations
Finally, the actual Make & Take we did. Using the stamping off technique, several cogs were stamped on the card front in Close to Cocoa. The clock face was stamped in Bravo Burgundy and cut out. A partially stamped second image of the second hand dial punched out with a 1″ circle punch had a […]
A card for my Son-in-Law
I made this card for my Son-in-law’s birthday. I inked the “Sanded” background stamp in Bravo Burgundy and stamped on Very Vanilla then matted on to Bravo Burgundy and adhered to base card in Always Artichoke.

Vintage Vogue, Very Vintage
I’ve been feeling under the weather and thought I’d draw on some of my archived stash of cards. I usually make a stack of cards when I’m in the “zone”, have a mammoth photo session and file it in my photo albums on the computer when the brain is sluggish and I can’t think up […]
