This is a sweet picture of a little girl, and one that I would think, would definitely appeal to Grannies everywhere!  Ooh, is that being ageist?

Anyway, I used a whole 6×6 piece here and border punched opposite sides and then put in graduated folds for interest.  I suppose I got the idea so that it was a little like folded material (as that’s what the pattern is on the paper, I believe.) 

So here are some close ups, to give you a better idea of what I am taking about.  Do remember that all these cards are quite simple really! Click on the images to enlarge.

Simple, but made much more effective by the layering of a couple of contrasting layers of border-punched patterned papers.

I realise I said I would put these up “tomorrow” and it’s a bit later than that, but se la vie!  I only have so much energy!
So here are the two cards I made using the left overs from the cards in the previous post!

My original idea was to create a load of cards for sale in the Tearooms, and to make a number the same so that I could make cards quicker.  Well it didn’t really work because the papers I had bought only had one page of each design!  Plus I was trying to use up scraps, [...]

This is just a small card - 4×4″, or a little over, I used all three Martha Stewart punches I bought as a set from QVC recently, on this one!
The Belly-band punch in the darker blue, the border punch in the middle at the top and the corner punch.  I particularly like the way you [...]

The image for this card was fairly brown (ie, sepia as opposed to black and white) so I went with the colour theme on the background colour and the embellishments.
Another lesson in layering there… a bit of lace gathered into a flower with a flower on top (white one coloured with an ink pad) and [...]

So this image is the same as the last couple of cards, but I want to show you how the same picture can be used in many different ways, even more so when it is a black and white picture.
I have printed this image slightly smaller to fit this size card, which is only about [...]

Ok, so this is the same image as yesterday’s card, but look at the difference in treatment and colours!  Agais a single piece of patterned paper wrapped around the card front and a little matting and embellishing.

Regular readers will recognise this image as I have used it before.  It IS one of my favourites… such a serene picture and versatile for a lot of occasions.
I’ve used the “Belly Band” punch in white for this one.  Silver card mat under the picture, although in the photo here it just looks a bit [...]
