Altered tin

Baby shower tin.

Going away card

This card was made for a little girl to remind her of Abu Dhabi. The camel was a chipboad die cut that I had made in South Africa and I painted the camel and added a googly eye. The background was embossed and coloured with watercolour pencils and the sand was torn and shaded with an ink pad. I had fun making this!

Birthday card

This card was made for a friend who loves the Oriental look. The dragonfly is a necklace that can be removed. It is a gift and card in one. The picture was taken from the top, but the flower is actually on the bottom of the card and the punched border would be the right side of the card.
I should actually turn the card, but I have no idea how to do it!

Acetate Birthday

Birthday card made from acetate and circle punches. Stitched on sewing machine.

Get well card

Get well card/gift outside view.

Get well card

This is the inside of a get well card/gift. Not my idea originally. I cased it from someone, but can't remember from where. It has a packet of tissues and cough drops on the inside. I changed it from the original idea that had lip balm and tissues.

Gift bag

Side view, now you can see the paper bag used to make the gift bag.

Quilt block

This was made for a lady who requested angel quilt blocks, from around the world, for her daugter. Her daughter needed about 6 surgeries. She wanted to give her the quilt to have her surrounded by angels. I thought that was so nice. I sent it off to Canada and I am hoping that she received enough blocks to make the quilt.
