Greetings cards - silk painting, 3D and paper weaving

 

A few weeks ago I went to a cruise ship's craft classes, where I learnt new card making techniques and also made more cards using previous methods. I've sorted these into "lots" for sale on Etsy and eBay - or directly from my website. Please email if you are interested in buying anything.

In the top photo, two cards are made by weaving paper strips, and they each have matching gift tags. The other two cards, plus the 5 below, are silk painted floral designs. 

Below are photos of decoupage 3D cards - owls, poppies, puffins and butterflies. The images are cut from 3-ply napkins. You separate the three pieces of tissue, cut the images you want from the top sheet, and stick them onto acetate sheets. When dry, cut around the images and glue to a card - PVA glue plus sticky pads for the 3D effect.
