Pops of Color

I found myself in a bit of a creative rut this month. I only created one card in January and had very few ideas for new cards. In order to get out of this rut I did what everybody tells you to do which is to TRY SOMETHING NEW. And it worked! I've wanted to work with glitter pastes and stencils for a while so I treated myself to a few new products and sat down one Saturday practicing this new technique. It was so much fun. I ended up creating around ten backgrounds that day and felt very inspired. Watch out for some sparkly new cards like this one right here:

Christmas Cards 2017 #17

I had a very different design on my mind when I started creating this card. I smooshed distress inks onto some watercolor paper and  die cut stars out of it so that I could use the positive pieces on my card. But when I looked at the negative piece I thought "Wait a minute! This looks beautiful!" and I immediately changed my design. I'm so glad that I did because I absolutely LOVE the bright and happy colors against the black card stock. I will certainly use the diecut stars as well because they're super pretty but for now I'll leave you with this:

This card wraps up my "Christmas Cards 2017" series and as much as I love winter themed holiday cards, I'm very much looking forward to creating fun birthday cards and floral designs again. See you next time, Christmas :)

Fancy Flowers

Coloring flowers is the most relaxing thing in the world, as least for me it is. I don't really try hard to make the flowers look realistic. I'd rather pull out my favorite colors and have fun :) The "Fancy Flowers" stamp set by My Favorite Things is wonderful for simple coloring.
