Another of the ready coloured images and this time I have used the sheetload sketch that seems to be a favourite of mine especially recently. I have also been using patterned paper a lot too, I don’t think I will ever use all of my stash but it would be good to make room for more lol.
I have had this image coloured for the longest time and unusually for me it’s coloured with pencils on Kraft. The background was left over from another card and that’s not going to get shown for a while.
I decided to try and use some of my already coloured images, I have a lot of those and I have tried several times to use them up but maybe this time I will be successful.
The fourth card and its only May, I am enjoying making them so maybe the secret is to just get all the big birthdays done in one hit. A bit like I do with kids, I make all the cards for each age at the same time so that might just be the secret formula lol.
I didn't print this one to make a 70 but I needed a card for a dinner party so this was the design I had ready to go. So expect to see this again but with different colours later in the year.
I remember saying that there weren't many big birthdays but I think I might have to change my tune on that as I have made quite a few so far and its only May!
A tried and tested design and one I am sure I won't get tired of, I did emboss with clear the background and in real life its subtle but you can see it. I am enjoying making cards for people who have never seen any of my designs as I can recreate some favourites.
I changed up the magnificent seven cards this year and didn't make them identical. I had printed this image and the hair reminded me of my friends grandson so I decided to just go with it. I have used the sheetload template again and even used my coveted doodlebug papers.
I received a video from my friend where her grandson explained why he liked the card and I have to say I was struggling with my mojo and whether I wanted to continue making cards and that video made me realise its about the recipients and that they know someone cares enough to make something by hand for them.
You did have to wait a little longer for this one and I hope that I used all the other images too. Again the cat looks like my friends fur baby although I’m not sure it captures his mischievous personality lol.
