Hedge Pigs!

Commissioned card using one of my fav new stamp sets from My Favourite Things! Set is called Happy Hedgehogs and I am hoping they make people smile!

Hedge pigs are stamped in Momento Ink and coloured with Copics. Card base made with red polka cardstock. Highlights with White Posca Pen.

Looking forward to using more of these chaps soon on cards, I used five to make this card and there are still more in the set! MFT stamps are awesome.

BMW card.

Used my photo card formula to make a commissioned man's card for a BMW 3 series E92 coupe owner. Tried my best to get it accurate, but it's hard when you don't know much about specific cars! :)

Using images from Honest John Car Reviews and the Autocar website I used Paint Shop Pro to make a collage and then changed the resulting image to black and white to match the silver theme of the card.

Pencil, Paper, Piece of String...

A commissioned easel card with a Girl Guide Theme. The customer wanted the "Pencil, paper, piece of string, 10p, hanky, drawing pin" motto included.

I couldn't work out what kind of coin would be needed for a phonecall in a phone box fifty years ago, so I went with something generic! :) This is a standard easel card, using papers from Grace Taylor's 12x12 Home Sweet Home pack. Flowers from Wild Orchid.

At the Beach - Stepper Cards

I've really being admiring people's use of stepper cards recently so thought I would have a go at it myself. This is a very simple three step card base, but it does add a lot to the fanciness of the card. I did two versions of this card, one for me to give to my Mum-in-law and the other one was a commissioned card. I'm writing this in February and scheduling this post for the end of May, because I actually finished a commission card 3 months early! Makes me sound organised :)

Both cards were made using elements from a Kanban seaside kit and stamps that were freebies with a magazine I think, alas I don't have any details of which one. Laser cut buttons were all purchased from the NEC. I added an additional child to the black silhouette card for Lisa as she has twins. All colouring done with distress inks used as water colours.
