ewa's retirement card

I was asked to make a card like this
which was given in a sewn parchment paper envelope
closed with small clothespin I embellished with pattern paper
the pink tag reads "good luck"

since the text inside was quite long the card itself had to be pretty large too

(about half a letter size)

jeans fabric + vintage dotted scrapbooking paper + papertrey ink die (dots)

I also "opened" the cage in PS and added a bird atop

feel free to use this illustration if you wish

(click to get it large)

birthday telegram to my best friend

that was sent some time ago :)

i used a woodware circle punch to cut out leaves

dream orphans

paper portrait birthday card

handmade paper cutting

 tracing paper cover

(sewed together)

this is my very own boyfriend feeding a wild bunny in the backyard :)

I used a photo and a vintage foliage illustration as templates

cutting out by hand

they are really tiny (an inch tall or so) and were printed first

so this is the wrong side

not sure what I need them for, but find it very tranquil to cut them out :)

digging into the past

this oldie was a first communion card for Dominika's brother (the girl from the previous post)

as you can see the tools I used were a mere pair of scissors and a circle punch (woodware)

hand paper cutting + glass dew drops

green paper: linen-like napkin glued onto card stock
