I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed opening these exquisite cards. I was by myself and it took me over half an hour to open, study and ooooh over them. I have described how I think they have been made but please step in to correct me or elaborate. I apologise for my photography if I haven't picked up the true colours.
Here we go, in no particular order as the saying goes:
Pam
By the postmark I am sure this is from Pam (there was no signature). The flowers and wording on the panel are stitched and are so beautiful. You are so clever and have also chosen my favourite colours.
Suban (and Timmy)
This is so beautiful; I just love the colours that tone so well with the backing card. I think Timmy must have lent a paw with the ribbon.
Ribbons
What a great idea for a card – I just love it. It’s a long story but my ambition is to visit Venice. I did see it from a ship but it was too wet to visit. Now you have brought it to me in this beautiful monochrome design

A fun card with a little gift inside, thank you. I admire anyone who can do decoupage and this is done so well. The book and wine says it all, really.

What a spectacular card. Another one with lovely colours and so beautifully made. The little brown butterflies on the small toppers are layered on top, the topper is neatly stamped and glittered (yeah, love glitter!), there are little matching pearls on the background. Every detail has been thought of with the inside verse put on a topper and layered onto paper that matches the small toppers on the front.

This is a cheerful card that made me smile. The colours are perfect, the cake is stamped, coloured and glittered with faux stitching round the edge of the topper. If you stamped the sentiment, I want to know how you did it without smudging – it is so neat. Thank you, too, for the treat inside the card, very useful.

This is such a nice card. Is the background die cut? It’s very effective. Then I think you have used glitter paste or something like that on the design. It feels very soft, like flocked paper. Beautiful.

Yes, this is the second from Spends, she was so carried away with things over Christmas she forgot she had send me a card already. She kindly said I could keep the both, aren’t I lucky? I would have had a huge problem deciding which to return. I am intrigued to know how you made the background. I hope it shows on the photo, it’s a very subtle pattern that is then echoed in the flowers on the topper.
