I made a couple of cards lately. I remembered a friends’ birthday next month and wanted to send one off. It’s weird thinking about how, when I was younger, a handmade card was something you did when you were too poor or couldn’t be bothered to buy a card. I remember making one for a relative when I was eleven and their face dropping as they asked aren’t you going to get me a special one? I was miffed. It still shocks me sometimes that the attitude towards handmade has changed so much.

Anyway, I’m happy with how this came together. It’s not the prettiest but it’s the collage style I like. A little bit random and a lot colourful.
