For this Xmas card i used a joy stencil for the bauble
which was matted onto red glitter card. The corner
of the white base cardstock was embossed using a merry Xmas stencil form Marianne. The sweet decoupage  image is from Marianne too!

wedding



Instead of scanning this spring card i tried my new camera little on the dark side probably better to try in natural daylight . I made this for a relative that has a wedding coming along . I purchased the paper from a craft shop in louth that is having a closing down sale with 30 % off !!

This card was made for a friend who has just become a very proud Nana, i used elines decoupage and a stencil by Marianne designs i am afraid the scanner does not do the spring card any justice as it has squashed it completely flat and it has lost its Spring.
