Is it just me, or is it really scary doing commission cards? Well, you can see what this one was for! I chatted to the lady who wanted it made and found an image of a plain house. I then inkscaped it to within an inch of its life! Hee hee - I made a row of them and then set to work with adding a filter to the middle house to give it an interesting finish. Little bit of glitter and a doily later and the card was finished. Gave it to the lady who had ordered it on Friday and she was really pleased with it. Phew!
Second card was from my son - "I dont really want to send another shop card to my friends now you can make them!" Hee hee! I suspected this might have been so that he didnt have to stand there and choose one..so of course, I made him sit with me and choose an image. I used glossy accents on the icing and put some little bugle beads on there for good measure. He really liked the finished result...phew number two!

This was commissioned for Cat who is turning 18. Her birthday party theme is "dress to impress" so I thought I would use this as a basis for the card. This card has been fiddled with sooooo much! The trusty ecraft cut out the bodice and letters etc. Then it was fiddling to make a skirt. Initially I planned to use pleated paper...but then started playing with a little piece of crepe paper...and then I found some purple silk netting stuff...and then the teeny weeny heart diamonds .... it all came together in the end. Phew number 3. Actually, make that half a phew...the lady who ordered is hasnt seen it yet!

This is one of the reasons I don't take orders for cards - scares the life out of me...what do I charge...will they like it...way too scarey.
These cards are lovely so I'm sure you have breathed a sigh of relief that they are done.
