Trying to combo people's interests to make the card uber appropriate! This is a small unfinished watercolour using watercolour pencils, and mock brush & palette also using the pencils. Wording printed via computer. Added glitter and pearl bling.

Three different bike cards!
Do you think there is a world record for making bicycle cards? Three more made this evening. One using some excellent bike brads, another using a metallic bike bookmark and the third with a GB biking theme!

More prep for the fair - Mother's Day cards!
How do we feel about re-using cigarette cards? Cigarette memorabilia is out of fashion but recycling ephemeral items seems on trend. So I've decided to use them, some are superbly illustrated works of art, I want to re-purpose them! What do you think?

Crafting for the next fair!
Next fair is this coming Saturday! Once again we are at Heart of the Country in Swinfen, near Lichfield. Been making some new badges this evening.
Same fold...
...different theme. I really wish oriental themed cards sold, but they don't! So, I was really pleased to get a request for one! And an excuse to use this new fold again but with slightly different proportions. Really like this willow pattern set of images and coordinated papers. Think its another kanban set from the qvc shop.
Card for my BIL's 40th
Back to the kanban Great British papers! This is a new fold where you use a back-to-front smaller card inside a larger card with the front flap cut in half. Needs something to hold it flat in the envelope tho hence the addition of a ribbon. Glossy accented the numerals after I took the photo.
