Good morning today I am sharing 2 of my very first creations with you featuring Isabella from Digi Stamp Boutique, and a new card made using her, I get lots of comments about my card making and colouring and wanted to show you some older ones, my first blog got taken over so I had to start all over again but I have been card making since 2009 and made a little progress and I really do mean a Little!....
I had to smile when I found these see I have always been slightly addicted to butterflies, this one was made in 2009....
And this one was made in 2010, so not really that long ago, I think this is when my addiction to stardust and flowers started, along with lots of layers, I believe these was both coloured with markers....
And on to today's.... I am still just as proud of these 2 as I am the new ones I make, trouble with me is I just don't believe that any of my creations are ever as good as anyone else's but I love to craft mostly all day everyday and I enjoy it so much, so the only advice I have is to just keep at it...
I have coloured her with markers, and used up scraps of papers from my draw, I tend to make up cards and have a pile of them before I pick an image to colour up then I try to match it to the papers...
I use liquid pearls and stardust as I like sparkle, under her hand I blobbed a bit of black ink from my marker and went over it with liquid pearls and you would never know it was there if I had not have told you :0))) I have also added some Pearl Brads and some 3mm Flat Pearls.....
I might have an addiction to Die-namics now though, as I have used Circle Stax Set 1 and Set 2, Fishtail Flagstax and Fishtail Layers, Flower Medley, Fancy Flourish, Butterflies, Hearts a Plenty, Photo Corners and Layered Labels, the sentiments came from the Silhouette set...
I have decorated the inside as I always do to compliment the front, thank you so much for looking today and I hope you enjoyed seeing my older versions, big hugs love Pops x x x
