I remember when I first started cardmaking many moons ago, I struggled for such a long time to find my 'style'. I only wish I'd known before I spent a small fortune on crafty stuff that it was mostly Clean+Simple!
I still find very 'simple' CAS cards like this one difficult - I've the urge to add some doodled borders or some ink splatters ;)
These cute little owls are from Catsonappletrees - I added some clear gloss to their eyes and then some googly eyes to the bigger one. I also added some clear gloss to the kite, after covering it with my clear sparkle pen. Bling from Taylored Expressions. Sentiment from Eat Cake Graphics:
8151-D Happy Birthday (fun text)
Now, this little kitty card just makes me happy :) Isn't it great when a card turns out like you imagined it - doesn't happen to me very often!
My kitten, mouse and dream bubble are from MFT - coloured with watercolour pencils. I covered the 'dream' with several layers of my clear sparkle pen, so it's lovely and glittery. Background splattered with pink and grey, and then a few sequins/stars. Doodled border.
And finally .... a special request 18th card. I need to get me some more grown up teen type stamps - any I had in my stash involved birthday cakes or drink, and on this occasion they just weren't suitable.
Anyway, I've ended up using this girl from Saturated Canary - coloured with watercolour pencils and a few highlights in glitter added. She kinda looked like she was floating on a magic carpet, so I grounded her a bit, but it still doesn't look right. Ah well, it will have to do. Silver peel off letters from stash.
That's me done for the night! I've a busy day or two planned for the rest of my week off, and then some nice shopping for my holidays (as opposed to boring old food shopping!) - so you might get some peace and quiet from me ;)
Don't think I'm really lovin this one, reckon lack of mojo is showing through on it!
