A very merry un-birthday to you

Here's a selection of some of my homemade cards:

Alice in Wonderland birthday card for Karen, March 2010 (pen drawing).

Birthday card for Gail, January 2010. The blue 'carousel' sign and butterfly are taken from one of my photos of an old New York carousel (the photo is published in an earlier post).


Birthday card for Gran, April 2010. More use of the New York carousel photographs. I used the image of this horse because it says 'Granny's Folly' on it. The background is tissue paper layered over a damask-patterned postcard. I then added buttons and lace.


Christmas card for Mum and Dad (pen drawing with coloured pencil and embellished with feathers, lace and tissue).

'Happy new house' card for Julie, July 2010 (pen and coloured pencil).

Birthday card for Julia, October 2010 (lace, card, tissue, patterned paper).

Birthday card for Sian, November 2010 (tissue paper layered over a Damask-patterened background, lace, patterned knapkins, paper).
