Nearing the end...


...of the birthday bubble.

In the last 4 weeks I've made a dozen cards for various people's birthdays. These two were made on Saturday at the Cubby Hole, before I headed out into sunny (ha!) Wales for a couple of nights in the van. If you want the full story of the weekend, and some rambling thoughts, take a look here.

Last but not least, thanks to Diane at Collagitation for some tips on dealing with blood spatter. I've used chalks and copper spray, and the butterfly card should now be safe from CSI ;)

  3. Excellent cards - love how artistic they are, especially the layers of collage. I have the same problem with lots of birthdays in one concentrated block - I'm impressed by your output, as I have, I'll admit, resorted to bought cards now and then lol. Px

  6. I like all three cards. The collage is my favourite and I think it works so well because you have kept the neutral colour palette. The middle one has a very 'interesting' background. The 'fiddled with' one, you will probably feel safer sending, but I quite liked the 'blood splatter'...but I do like the copper too!
