Caron Vinson




Two more decoupage designs from Caron Vinson as below. These are called Sweet Tyla although everyone says the fairy below looks like my daughter Lianne - what do you think?








Molly Harrison Fantasy Fairies and Witches

Another of my favourite artists for Fantasy Art is Molly Harrison, http://www.mollyharrisonart.com/index.html These are some of the decoupage sheets I have of her designs.



This one is called Kiss of October. The autumnal shades matched perfectly with some CWC 8x8
cards I have in Burnt Orange.
I added some black holographic card to frame the background print.







This is the Funky Witch.


I mounted her onto some back holo card and
then onto some mulberry paper with gold stars from Cranberry cards (when they dealt with the public).
A CWC 8x8 in pearlescent mauve was the base card.







I can't find this one on her site so it's probably old work. The fairy is so delicate and was quite hard to cut out, especially the curly fronds of hair.


Again a CWC 8x8 card the background mounted onto silver mirri board.










Again, no name for this one but she looks like the Fairy in Bella's Tree, so I shall call her Bella.

8x8 White card with Cranberry cards mulberry paper in magenta this time on a gold mat.

Entitled - The Silence of Snow - this would make a beautiful christmas card.

Phoebe goes to School



Denise seems to be keeping me busy these days! Her granddaughter is starting school on Monday so she wanted a card for her.
I used a Jolly Nation decoupage sheet and created this card.
Good Luck Phoebe, hope you enjoy school x

Enchantment Fairies

I love the fairies in this decoupage, they are by an artist called Caron Vinson, http://www.caronvinson.com/ The images are so beautiful, its a pleasure to cut them out, even the very fiddly bits!


More Flippin' Cards!

These are another two of the Flippin card decoupage collection.
Outside and inside images shown, the decoupage is on both sides.

The image below was added onto an acetate panel placed in the card centre.
I added the disc for an age to be added later.

A Special Request

I was asked to make a card for a colleage of my friend Denise's.
The brief was that she liked horses and I thought of this decoupage by Jolly Nation of a lady with her horse. I created a framed background to look like a stable with the sadle hanging and added her name in a rosette. I hope they like it. :)
