I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with likeminded people. I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.
This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue.
My Trick or Treat card for this week....
Here's my Top Tip to go with my card...
....Shaker cards don't have to be complicated...here I printed directly onto the card blank, coloured the sweet little fella, cut my desired 'frame' with Nesties, used DST to fix acetate to reverse of frame, cut foam pads into thin strips and stuck around edge of frame (making sure they tightly butted up to each other), put a little pile of glitter strands onto the ghost and stuck the frame over.
I've used a gorgeous image from one of our sponsors this week
