My latest card is for a friend's 40th birthday and it's the first time I have used a great new envelope template which is being sold to raise funds for The Samaritans on the Costa Blanca.

I stamped the oriental lady onto black card then onto white and heat embossed with black magic embossing powder, coloured her with H2O paints, Sakura pens and decoupaged the image which was then mounted onto grey mirror card and pale blue card both embossed with a Cuttlebug swirly folder. It's very difficult to tell due to the scan but the base card is linen printed with a lovely blue silk effect from Joanna Sheen's latest CD set Fashion Boutique.
