Default appliqué card

I'd read some time ago about appliqué on cards, so I thought I would give it a go. You need to iron on interfacing onto the material then cut the shapes, I sewed the wing onto the chick first then sewed it to the card, the eggs were to small so i just glued them on. This works best on tri-fold cards, I think for ordinary cards you should just stitch everything first then glue on to give the illusion that it is sewn on. Finally add the finishing touches by drawing on the extras, so that was the easter card finished.
Then I made a Bithday card, the dress topper was made from a template found on google images, the girl was a drawing I picked up a while ago, I just changed it a bit and painted it, for the writing I copied one of my fonts lightly in pencil then went over it in pen.
