Happy New Year

A Happy New Year to you one and all, lets hope that 2011 is a good year.

I made this card to cheer up my Niece who was not feeling well. I have discovered that the hardest thing about making an Easel card is photographing it! I love this image from 'Whiff of Joy' and have used it before on 'Get Well ' cards, it works equally well for adults as for a child. The papers and the embellishments I used on this card are all bits and pieces from my offcuts bin and stash. I think the stripes and dots go together well and adding feathers to the flowers gave them extra pizzazz. This really is a girly card but I think it works and it should brighten up a little girl’s day.

Thank you for visiting my Blog, your comments are really appreciated

Hi, my name is Elaina and I live near Kings Lynn, Norfolk with my Husband, Daughter and a selection of pets.

I have been crafting since I was a child when I learnt to knit and do cross stitch. I started making cards about 20 years ago when I discovered stamping and embossing. I have tried all sorts of other crafting techniques and currently I am doing a lot of Mixed Media work.

I was privileged to spend three years studying traditional needlework techniques at the Royal School of Needlework based in Hampton Court Palace. Amongst other techniques I learnt Silk shading, Goldwork, Whitework and Blackwork.
