I learnt a lot doing this one - it challenged my usual style of clean and bright.
Welcome
Welcome to my creative space! My name is Amy Burke and I am inspired. Card making is one of my current passions and I am honoured that you've taken the time to share it with me. Enjoy!

Girlish charm
I hand drew this little girl and coloured her with Copic markers (my very first attempt using Copics - I'll never turn back, thanks Sissy!!)

Over in the meadow
Again, hard to tell in this photo, but the sun is actually a flower stamp and the sheep wool is made using liquid pearl. The card folds out into an accordion with three panels.
Quilted
It's difficult to tell in a photo, but this card has a very 'quilted' texture. This was achieved by backing the patterned card with felt, then stitching and dry hand-embossing each diamond. I applied liquid crystal to the fabric leaf and flower petal and allowed it to soak in, resulting in that moist look.
Garden shower
These stitched pearl raindrop cards seem to be popular with the locals, so here's a variation on the original theme.
Pretty in pink
I love pink and am surrounded by it at home constantly, but I find it hard to work with - particularly matching different shades of pink together. In the end I kept it simple and used walnut, white and gold colours to harmonise the different pinks.
