Card-making

I like to make all my own cards. I've always loved card-making and I love the personal touch it adds. It just seems pointless to spend money on a generic card that will get thrown away sooner or later!

My mum's birthday falls on Father's Day this year and here are the cards I have made for them:


As you can see, the camera I started when I was waiting for my threads has been finished, and I designed the strawberry myself. 

I'm quite proud of these!

Father's Day card

While I'm waiting for my threads to arrive I thought I'd make a start on a Father's Day card for my dad (duh)

I can't show a picture of what it will look like finished as I only have the chart, but it's a simple design of a camera.
This is also my first project on evenweave (I usually go for Aida), so I've decided to use six strands because of the size of the gaps in the material.

Here's the first colour finished; the lighting is messing with my camera so the thread looks darker and shinier than it should.
