Here's some of the Christmas cards I did last year, still using background papers and stamps, but started down the slippery slope of distress inks!! 

These use background paper, stamp and coloured with promarkers.

This next card was one of my first using distress inks! Used them loads since!

Hi

My first post for my blog, very nervous as i've never done anything like this before, but I just want to share some of the things I do/ make. My main thing at the moment is card making, but I also sew, knit and do a bit of jewellery. I also have done a lot of cross-stitch. I love the cross-stitch but it does take time and it's also someone else's design. I now want to be more adventurous and develop my own style artistically.

My card making has evolved over the last year that I've been doing it. I started off using papers, promarkers and stamps.

I made this for my eldest son's birthday last year - not very adventurous but a start into the world of papercraft!
