A blog about handmade cards by a crafter who lives on a Caribbean Island.

Love in Bloom
Here's a sparkly wedding card I was experimenting with - I used embossing with pigment powders, Stickles to add a bit of sparkle to flowers and butterflies I cut out using some of my craft punches, and of course lots of jewels and pearls. I wanted to create the effect of cascading blossoms in a garden. The sentiment is stamped in gold from See-Ds that I've had for a long time, but never tried.
Hi. I live in Barbados - that's in the Caribbean - it's the most easterly located island in the chain known as the West Indies.
By day I'm a banker - well acutally I do PR for a bank -and somtimes on evenings you'll find me at karate. I'm a relatively new black belt - trying (unsuccessfully) to keep up with my sixth degree black belt husband!
I love making cards by hand every time I finish one I look at it over and over again trying to see what i did well, and how I can improve next time - I have really hard time parting with them - but what's the point of creating something if you don't share with others!
