Another paint and stitch card; this time it's a tree for my brother. The biggest difference with this one is that the design is completely my own.

Paint & stitch bunny
Bunnies are a recurring theme in my card making, so it was only a matter of time before one turned up in paint and stitch form.
Paint & stitch shell
I shall be spending January tidying up after 2024, and that includes writing up projects from last year. The first of those is this floral shell paint & stitch card.
Paint & stitch robot
Another paint and stitch card; this time it's a happy robot who had a difficult journey to reach his destination.
Paint & stitch cats
The second of my paint & stitch cards — a pair of cats this time — and I'm starting to develop and refine the process.
Paint & stitch owl
I came up with a process that would allow me to make interesting embroidered cards without panicking about the number of upcoming birthdays and the work that could involve.
Delightful stitch
I nearly didn't make any Mother's Day cards this year. But then inspiration struck and, instead of colouring them with Copic markers, I embroidered some flowers.
Translucent flowers
A vague idea, a very old piece of stash, some unused supplies and a touch of bling. That's what this birthday card was made of.
A cottage in the hills
Another layered landscape, with even more detail and stitching than the last one I made. This one has a cottage at the heart of it, bolder flowers at the front and, of course, tiny sheep.
Little layered landscape

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.
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.
Bountiful bouquet
Yes it's another Power Poppy floral card — rudbeckias and berries this time — but at least I changed up the usual pink and purple Copic palette for a more autumnal one, and then finished it off with coloured pencils.
Berberis landscape
Another birthday, another card. This time I made a gelli print landscape, and then had to create my own stencil to complete the design.
Alcohol ink landscape
Of course, inspiration is hardest to find when I'm on a deadline. Birthdays at the start of the month are the worst because I don't tend to think about them until the month starts: "oh it's September now, what cards do I have to make, only two but they both need doing in the first… Continue reading Alcohol ink landscape
