I have told you before that I own around 100 different stamps and do I use them?--not very often except for the one that I put on the back of the card that says "Handmade by Doreen Grey".
This card is made using a piece of fabric that I stitched onto some white card stock that was then attached to a piece of red cardstock and then a white card.
I have added blue brads on her ears to look like earings.
The blue background piece of paper has a words image stamped on it and I have added some white ribbon and two pansy tiles.
This is one of my lady images that I have stamped onto white cardstock which was then mounted onto red cardstock and then attached to a white card.
Her red dress was made by stamping the image onto a piece of red scrap paper and then I cut around the red dress and glued it onto the image on the card. I then embellished the dress with glitter.
I love this stamp.
The lady image is from a sheet of images that I have had for years and I forgot about.
I stitched the image onto a piece of painted watercolour paper that I had previously stamped the words image which was left over from the journal class and this was then stitched onto another piece of w/c paper which was then attached to a card.
I love making cards -I find it very relaxing and rewarding.

Doreen, these are beautiful! I love each and every one of them. The lady stamp is really cool. I bet that one would be a lot of fun....stamping her gown on all kinds of paper.
Lovely cards Doreen - I specially like the pansy one.
Your cards are lovely, I used to do a lot of card making and like you have lots of stamps and things I don't use too much any more, I really must dust them off and have a play

I know from personal experience how gorgeous your cards are Doreen. Dot xx
Hi Doreen, I love your cards! I don't do handmade cards often, but I saw on another blog where they used paper napkins to make cards, and they were stunning. Have you ever used paper serviettes to make your cards? This lady used something called Mod Podge to make her cards. I found that in Riot Art And Craft stores, but haven't bought any yet, as I want to learn more about the process of using it first.
Thanks for your comment on my blog about my linen collection. Yes, I'll be posting more photos as I go along!

You don't need Modge Podge for the paper serviette cards.
An acrylic craft glue (diluted) works equally well.
