Hello! Welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. I design and create handcrafted greeting cards. I like to call this passion of mine "visual poetry" ....imagery on paper. Please feel free to browse the photos of my cards and leave a comment.

Joyful Song




This card was made for a color challenge where the colors to be used were red, green and white. The challenge also included a "twist".....something to do with "music".

I decided to make sheet music my focal point. I stamped the sheet music image (PTI Background Basics: Sheet Music) with black ink on white card stock and then cut it with Spellbinders Classic Ovals Small die. I cut another oval in red card stock using a die from Spellbinders Classic Ovals Large. I layered the focal image on the red oval.

The base card was made using black card stock. I added a red layer and then a white dotted swiss layer. The focal image was then adhered to the center of my card. I added a leafy swirl in black, cut from Marianne Creatables Anja's Vintage Swirls. I cut two flowers with Marianne Flowers Fantasy die, sponged them with white ink while still in the dies and then layered one on top of the other and adhered it to my card. The fern-like leaves were made using a Martha Stewart punch and then adhered to the flower.

The sentiment was computer generated and then cut with Spellbinders Labels Trio die. I thought those particular words from Bob Dylan's song Forever Young were perfect for this card.
