WELCOME

This blog was created to act as a record of the cards and other projects that I have made. It is for both my own reference and to help inspire anyone who wants to take a look.

I'd love it if you'd leave me a comment so that I know what you think of my projects and that you've been to visit!

Anyone can comment, even those who don't have a blog. (Just look for the word 'Comments' under the three little pictures at the end of each post). Readers without a blog can add an anonymous comment, but please leave your name (and docrafts username if applicable) so I know who you are!

Chartreuse Green and Purple Moroccan Mosaic Tiles

Another of those pesky men's cards! And a nice and simple one at that!


Three tile shapes were punched into purple paper using the XCut Moroccan Ornate punch, and then die cut using a standard square Nestabilities die. These were then matted onto gold satin card, also die cut.

A strip of the green and purple damask paper from the Papermania Persimmon paper pad was matted onto the gold card and across a panel of the green foliage paper, from the same paper pad.

The mosaic tiles were added across the strip and clear dew drops from Patti's Pretties were added in between them.

The scrolly 'Happy Birthday' stamp from the HOTP Sentiments stamp set was stamped at the bottom of the patterned paper using Versafine Imperial Purple archival pigment ink. 

Here are the blog challenges I am entering this card into:
