Stampin’ Fun with Irene

My life as a wife, working girl & papercrafter

Collage madness

This collage card was also inspired from the Creative Cardmaking magazine I bought today.  I had lots of fun cutting up the squares (they are 2.5cm square) and sticking them onto a piece of Whisper White, then edging with black ink and applying to a Basic Black card front.  The flowers and wording are rub-ons.

Lovely as a Tree

Finally, this weekend (long weekend here in Australia for Australia Day celebrations) I get to sit down and make some cards.  First one on display is my attempt at a man’s card.  I hate making masculine cards, but I was inspired today from a card in this month’s “Creative Cardmaking 2009 Annual” magazine.  This is my take on a card on Page 22.
