Digital media

We both had a great time attending the digital marketing workshop in the Seagoe Hotel Portadown tonight. There was a panel of great speakers and we learnt an awful lot.

Parchment Coaster

It is my the sisters birthday next week and I was inspired by a recent trip we went on to the Charles Renee Macintosh house at 78 Derngate

I tried to create an art noveau parchment piece that reflected the Macintosh style that we had seen there.

Obviously it was too delicate to put on her actual card and I did not think it would survive the postal trip to Northampton so I made the piece into a coaster so she could use it and it would retain its beauty.

Celtic Jewellery

Today we had some fun making some Celtic inspired jewellery that we purchased at the craft show in Birmingham

firstly we made these Celtic knot earrings.

followed by these pendants

Mothers Day 2018

Today is Mothers Day so I have made my mum a floral parchment card.

Mum loves all things flowers.

Oh boy did the grid work take some time

I used complimentary Clarity backing papers under the parchment for a lovely bright clean look.
Pretty pastel buttons and brads give a coordinated look.
