I loved this image as soon as I saw it and I might have persuaded the owner of the Greeting Farm to make the boy one available too lol. I had so much fun colouring this that the design of the card ended up being fairly simple so that the image could steal the show.
I might have made a few of these last year but sometimes the design is perfect for someone that got a different design last year so of course I had to remake it, lately I seem to be remaking a lot and I do think that after as many years as I have been making cards that is going to happen but I do feel I am stuck in a rut.
I wanted this stamp set as soon as I saw it and strangely it looks exactly as I expected and that never happens lol.
This was the original version (more will be coming soon) and it started another of my obsessions lol, I went rainbow and loved how it turned out. Seeing this again is making me want to make more
This year there aren’t very many big birthdays well not as many as last year anyway, I was going to do a shaped card but the eclipse won.
I have been on a real colouring kick lately and I’ve been enjoying it a lot too.
I can’t believe I started making cards the year this young man was born, I think I’ve made him a card for most of his birthdays, at the start of my card making journey I didn’t make to give just for the pleasure of making and it took a while to discover copics and colouring and then I wanted to make cards for all my family and friends.
As most of my family are Welsh and daffodils are the national flower expect to see them often on this blog lol. Craftstash had a sale and this was one of the items I purchased and I forgot that craftstash stamps are on the larger side but I made it work.
I also cut a background from Sugar Pea that I have had for a while, I do like using stuff when I find it on this craftroom reorganise.
Another day another revisited design, sometimes I think if something works why try to reinvent the wheel. I did change the die shape and I really do like these decked edge rectangles ( expect to see many more lol) they add so much interest to a simple card. The spotlight sentiment from MFT is an old favourite too and I might have made several more in a similar style lol.
I do find making cards for people who don’t drink and don’t have hobbies more difficult than I thought I would, it’s so much easier if they like golf or cars lol.
