      Thank you, Carole. You're very kind to take time to comment. I love adding 3D 'bits' to my work. The colour is a bit of a departure for me too. ;~}

    Hi Shelagh, a fabulous compilation od stamps, the birdcage collage sitsreally well on top of the steampunk tree. Love the simple depth you have created in the background with your hand drawn lines, and the edging is very effective.
    Thanks for your entry into the Chocolate Baroque Chalenge, Judith xx

      Thank you, Judith. I love combining 'unlikely' images and looking beyond the images. ;~}

      Hi Zoe and thank you. I'm afraid I'm a bit of a 3D freak and nearly always have additions on my work, all a throwback from my wall displays in my teaching days. ;~}

      Hi Magda and thank you - I'm a bit disappointed re the colour vibrancy though, as it's much crisper in real life and on the laptop; the iPad somehow drains some of the intensity. ;~}

      Many thanks, Asha. Colour is much better in real life, not far from what I can see on the laptop. The iPad photo looks a bit dull in comparison although it's the same photo. ;~}

    Hello Anne and thank you. Find it difficult to make a card without a 3D element! ;~}
