Di's Bio

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at college many years ago, I now work as a medical photographer part time, but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion, and I loved sharing my cards with like-minded people. I love stamping and love finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself. This then has become my second addiction, and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and it's just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!


Many thanks to our generous Sponsors for their continued support.

Feel Better Soon

I am showing a card today for the Hero Arts challenge Mr. Postman. The challenge is to make a card and send it. This card will be going to a friend who recently had a fall.  I used a Hero Arts script background wood stamp that I use a lot and have had for many years. The flower is also a Hero Arts wood stamp and I love the dimension it gives with just using one color of ink. This time I used  Tombow markers to color the flower.


Stamps:  Painted Flower and Italian Poetry Background - Hero Arts
Dies:       Lattice #2 - Cheery Lynn, Circles - Crafter's Companion,                      Butterfly -  Unknown
All Occasion Sentiments - Paper Rose
Tombow Markers

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!
