Handmade flowers

28 Jan 2015 Comments Off on Handmade flowers

I made the flowers from (bought) handmade paper. I love this paper, and wish I could remember where it came from to get more…

The design was inspired by a card by the late Margaret of Making Papercrafts. I was so sad to read that she has gone.

A haiku for this card:

Our best creations
must be ones we leave behind
to inspire others.

A card I made for an aunt’s birthday. Because of her tastes it’s a bit more busy than I would normally make a card.

Birthday banners

I am liking working with birthday banner designs at the moment.

SUPPLIES: HOTP Home Grown papers (free with a magazine – it’s good discovering paper sets that way), Prima flowers

Green birthday

A colleague is very proud of his electric bike so I thought his birthday card should reflect his interest in electric vehicles.  The vehicle was designed and paper pieced from scratch by hand.
