Bella Toile is one of my favourite background stamps. This is a card I made early in August for a friend who has a penchant for green. Sadly Sage Green is retiring. I’m making the most of it before it disappears on 1 October this year. I’ve teamed it with Handsome Hunter which is also […]
Bird on a Branch #4
This is the last of my Bird on a Branch samples. I love the simplicity of this one -Soft Suede card stock to mat with and stamped on Whisper White with card base also in Whisper White. Minimal layers and minimal colour palette, just the Soft Suede and Melon Mambo with the Soft Suede polka […]

Bird on a Branch #3
Taken with Teal colour scheme this time. It looks fab with black, still Night & Day papers, black polka dot and a newsprint type motif featured on the opposite side.
Bird on a Branch #2

Sweet Treat Cups, On a Pedestal
Piggy Bank – I only put a couple of 50 pence coins in the sweet treat cup to illustrate the different usage for the sweet treat cups – I’m really not that much of a scrooge! The background stamp with the wording is called “Friendly” I stamped the inside with images from On a Pedestal […]
