It has been a long time since I have written a blogpost. I haven't done much in the way of artwork in the last few months for a number of reasons. Last year was my annus horribilis! My beloved mother died, leaving my Dad, who has some health problems, on his own, and I became a full time carer for my husband after he had a stroke! Therefore doing artwork has taken a back seat. However, I do enjoy the therapeutic nature of the creative process and so have made time to make cards for family and friends. The red card was a good luck card for my Chinese sister-in-law, who was just about to have an operation. It is multi-layered and my inspiration was a Chinese silk textile.
Above are some of the Christmas cards I made. All my cards begin with a painted background which can consist of several layers and includes working with stamps. I then collage shapes on top and add any embellishments needed.
