Sci-fi, bad movies and shaker cards. Yes it was time to make a birthday card for my other half again. This time I went straight for This Island Earth aka Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie and created an interocitor. Once I found a reasonably clear image of the whole of the interocitor, I used… Continue reading Interocitor
This was made for my neighbour. Some people like bunnies, some people like cats or dogs, and some people, like my neighbour, love meerkats.

Browsing around YouTube one day, I came across this watercolour-stamped card and was inspired to create my own version. I do have the set Dawn uses for her card, but I like to avoid duplicating other people’s cards too closely, so I went hunting for some other solid stamps in my collection and found some… Continue reading Watercolour butterflies
