Way back in about May, I had a commission, out of the blue, to make some christmas cards for Creative Cardmaking magazine.
It came as a surprise because I don't consider myself a cardmaker, but the editor wanted some ornate, heavily embellished cards-both traditional and modern in style. It was a bit of a challenge in that at that time of the year there was no christmas stock around in the shops, so I had to make do with old stash, and think out of the box a bit.
So here are some of the cards I made:
This one has hand dyed flowers- I think I used coffee!
Lots of layers and distressing!
The next one had a recycled thing going on-packing tissue, corrugated card and book paper:
Again, lots of distressing and inking!
And this one with a lovely cluster of flowers and leaves and wire and mesh-some of these bits came from a christmas decoration...
Only thing is-they are going to need careful packing if they are sent by post!
I did enjoy making these, even if they did take me more time than a card ever should!
