About Me

My photo
I'm a retired primary school teacher, who started paper crafting in 2008, when I had a fancy to make my own Christmas cards. Since then, I have tried all sorts of techniques and styles - and I kind of like them all. I have been lucky enough to be on blog teams and large design teams and to do a bit of freelance demonstrating - and I love the challenge of working with different products. My crafting style is very varied - from junk journaling and art journaling, bookbinding and journal making, to quilting and patchwork - and of course I still make cards. This variety keeps me interested - and my crafty stash growing!! I'm always seeking inspiration for new projects.

Spring Foliage Card

Hello. Have a quick share today. This is an 8x8 card made using a combination of Creative Expressions Forget-Me-Not frame 3D Embossing Folder, and Julie Hickey Designs Floral Foliage Stamps.

I used white embossing powder with the stamp, as I didn't want a "hard line". 


I used Faber-Castell Goldfaber watercolour pencils (tin of 12) to colour the foliage, and Lucky Clover and Twisted Citron Distress Oxides to ink the edges of the frame.

The lettering is Julie Hickey Designs Sweet Pea Alphabet.

Thanks for popping by, and I hope I have given you a little inspiration. Feel free to follow me here on my blog, or on FaceBook, Twitter, Instagram or Pinterest.

Happy crafting,
