Card Class at 'Craftybride', Kilkenny

Here are the three cards I done at my half day class on Tuesday last at 'Craftybride' in Kilkenny. Hope you like them.....

This Baby Card would be suitable for either a boy or girl just by changing the ribbon colour. You could also use white ribbon to keep it completely neutral. The image is a Penny Parker Baby image.
This image has lovely colouring and would suit either the green and teal tones used or alternatively brown tones.
The backing paper used is from dreamtime.
This is a great card for using up scraps and can be adapted to suit any occasion.

Here are some of the cards I completed recently for different occasions.....

50th Birthday

Here is a 50th Birthday card I made this week.  It is made using mainly spellbinders done with some matting and layering, some ribbon from my ribbon stash and the flowers are from Wild Orchid.
I took my inspiration from some of Debbie Stevens cards

Wedding

Here's a Wedding card I made last week. The client requested for to have horses and aeroplanes included on the card. I used the spellbinders stately circles for the greeting and layered it onto the spellbinders grand scalloped circles. The aeroplane is from the Joanna Sheen CD 'Ladies, Gentlemen and children' and the horse is from a La Pashe decoupage sheet. Hope you like it.
