🎨 A Little Colour, A Little Imagination, A Lot of Creativity!

I thought I'd share a little more of my creative world with you.

My passion lies in handcrafted collage and mixed-media art, where paper, paint, texture and imagination come together to create something entirely new.

I often begin with a single image that captures my attention, and from there the artwork takes on a life of its own. Layers are added, colours explored, unexpected elements introduced, and slowly a story begins to unfold.

Some works are whimsical, others nostalgic, but all reflect my love of colour, composition and the endless possibilities of collage.

For me, the joy is in the creative journey — experimenting, discovering and sometimes being surprised by where a piece takes me.

I hope you enjoy this little glimpse into my world of art. 💕🎨

🎨🌸 NEW CARD DESIGNS – A CELEBRATION OF COLOUR & CREATIVITY! 🌸🎨
I'm excited to share some of my latest greeting card designs from Design by Denise!
A little whimsical, a little nostalgic and always full of imagination, these new designs bring together beautiful florals, exotic birds, vintage imagery and unexpected combinations of colour and texture.
Each design begins with an image that inspires me, and from there the creative journey unfolds — one layer at a time.
💗 Art is more than something to admire — it's something to share.
Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, sending a thoughtful message or simply wanting to brighten someone's day, there's something lovely about giving a beautiful card.
✨ A little piece of art in every card!

✨ A Little Trip Down Memory Lane… ✨
I've been feeling a little nostalgic of late, so I thought I'd share some of my earlier work from my days of traditional decoupage.
Looking back at these pieces, I'm reminded of the many hours spent carefully cutting, arranging, layering, varnishing and polishing — all part of the wonderful art of decoupage.
These works reflect my love of classical imagery, beautiful decorative objects and the timeless elegance of traditional craftsmanship.
The ginger jar, titled Boy, Bubbles and Castles, dates back to 1994 — over 30 years ago! Where has the time gone?
Although my artistic journey has evolved into contemporary collage, mixed media and digital design, I can still see the influence of those early years in the work I create today.
Different techniques, different times, but the same passion for art and creativity. ❤️
Sometimes it's lovely to look back and appreciate where the journey began.
I'd love to know — do you ever revisit your earlier creative work and find yourself feeling a little nostalgic?
