Re: Birthday card

That's such a beautiful card ST, it must be a real pleasure to receive a card like that ..... nothing can touch it in the shops

Out of interest, how long does it take you to think up the designs for your cards, they all appear to be so different in style.

Silver, I have never seen a more beautiful card. It took my breath away. If I ever got a card like that I would keep it forever......

Difficult to say, Mags, this one began as just one picture - the Kingfisher - then came the idea of make it into a sort of book - then the logistics of putting it all together. Finding the images was easy enough - finding the poems took a while longer!. All together it took me about a week to complete this one. I am so glad that you liked it.

Thanks, Susie, they are a labour of love - and fun!

Thank you - it is something I love to do - and always try to match the card to the recipient.

Thanks, LQ, I do not sell my cards as a business - mainly I just make for family and friends. Occasionally I am asked to make something special for someone - and then I do charge a fee to cover the cost of materials and/or postage. A 'forum' friend in Ipswich has commissioned quite a few over the years.
