Mixed Media Greeting Cards

MIXED MEDIA GREETING CARDS
Happy new year everyone!!!
Wishing you all the very best for 2014.  Hope you all achieve all that you set out to do this year.

I decided to blog a bit about handmade cards, as I have been sat writing all my thank you notes to all my friends and loved ones, and all those who have sent me pressies for Christmas

Handmade Greeting Cards, mean a lot more these days in the world of mass produced material.  I do very much enjoy and feel privileged when I receive a card that is handmade.

For an artists and crafter it is a blank canvas with unlimited potential.  It is also a fabulous sounding board for experimenting with techniques as you are working on a small scale.  A lot of my art works including the wearable art, originally start out as an idea on greeting cards.

I have just completed a collection of HEARTS
These are all original works and not prints.  They have an array of textures, colours and contrasts.  I have used various techniques, Origami folds intermingle with mixed media collage and some tangles and doodles like the +Zentangles +zentangles101 +Zentangled Momma   etc.  it all comes together in this collection of hearts.

The Cards are blank inside
I have packaged them in the following sets:

SINGLE CARD

PACK OF 3

PACK OF 6

PACK OF 12

Do have a look see, would love to hear your thoughts.
