September ATC cards

For this month's ATC cards I had to think how I was going to incorporate the theme (Dimension & Texture). I found some free 3D brushes of gates/grasses online (dimension, to me) and then with my Cuttlebug's textile embossing folder added the texture. A big thanks to Marion for going above and beyond last month, specially since she has not been feeling well.

Card: Cuttlebug thank you

This card came together in a flash which was good because it was a last minute thank you card. I patted myself on the back when I stepped back and was happy with the result.

Card: Saint Nicholas

On Friday I received my first request to create a unique card. My customer asked me to create a special birthday card for his grandmother's 91st birthday. At once I was excited and honored to be entrusted with this. He wanted me to incorporate his grandmother's Italian and Catholic culture. I carefully researched her hometown in Italy and found that the patron saint was Saint Nicholas. The photo on the cover of the card is from the catholic church in that town.
