Faced with making another masculine card, I went for the bright, shiny and graphic option; designing a card inspired by some chocolate.

Painted peony
Proving that the success of the painted hellebore wasn't a one-off, I painted a peony for my mum.
Painted hellebore
I wanted a change from the usual Copic-coloured Power Poppy images for this Mother's Day, so I got out the acrylic gouache and gold leaf instead.
Bride and groom hearts
I've only needed to make a handful of wedding cards over the years and so I don't have many suitable images in my stash, but I do have plenty of card and glitter.
Stained glass window
Inspired by the combination of one of the recipient's own photos and a technique I had seen using alcohol inks and tissue paper, I created this translucent stained glass window card.
Simple Valentine heart
I rarely make minimalist "clean and simple" cards, but sometimes circumstances leave me with no alternative.
Walking the dog
When I'm short on inspiration for a card I pick a technique or style I've been wanting to try and start from there.
Kitty close-up
January may not be my most creative time of year, but I had an idea and this kitty close-up is the result.
Postbox bunny
I have been known to participate in "Christmas in July" before, but I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've made a Christmas card in January.
Penguin with trees
It turns out that the dragon card for my mum wasn't actually the last Christmas card that I had to make this year, there was one more left to do.
Dragon and Christmas star
The last Christmas card of 2022 is an individual card for my mum. I'd run out of cute rodents so I coloured up this cute dragon with a wooden Christmas star instead.
Snowflakes
My final set of Christmas cards this year. A foiling failure forced me to adapt and it ended up being my favourite set as well.
Cross-stitch candle
While I was thinking about the design for my next set of Christmas cards, I used the last of the cross stitch die cuts and stitched a traditional Christmas candle.
Cross stitch snowman
I enjoyed making the last cross stitch card and so I decided to take a break from all the cutting and gluing and stitch a snowman.
Christmas star v2
In the spirit of cutting down on waste, I used the leftover cut-out pieces from the last set of cards to make some more.
