The very first greeting card I ever sold also happened to be my very first attempt at making a hand-painted paper collage!
It had taken me a long time and I had ended up with painted paper all over my kitchen, sticky hands and a very sore back from sitting too long, making sure I cut the shapes accurately! So I was all the more thrilled when sale notification emails just kept rolling into my inbox!
That was five years ago and as I have gradually improved and speeded up what was originally a very tricky and time-consuming process, collage has become possibly my favourite medium for making greeting cards. And each year, I have produced at least one new design.
Here are just a few - beginning with my very first one, maybe a bit ambitious for a beginner but it's very popular!
