Card Showcase: "Celebrate Life" & "Memories"

Memories tag with a chipboard script border

When I have beautiful patterned papers to work with, I don't have to actually sit down and plan but ideas come trickling and one of the best thing is that when they're layered, they look good together. To me, a good layered card is when everything seems to blend in seamlessly and to achieve that, it may take a long time but the final result can be breathtakingly beautiful.

I don't know if you notice my style, which can be recurring or totally different from my other works. But one thing for sure is that I use minimal embellishments. I like to play around with different pieces that have been handcut from a bigger sized paper. But the next frustrating thing is when I have difficulty associating myself with the overall design of the card. I'm just a prefectionist this way. However, I leave it to my customers to appreciate my cards. They may see things that I can't see that make the card special in their own ways which I truly appreciate. I guess that kind of thing happen when you make card designs on an almost daily basis.

I also feel that when I thought I just came up with a brilliant design, people do not buy the cards, haha. Oh well. Everyone has different styles and opinion. I don't force them to buy. If they like, they'll buy and I will be happy because they have given the card a home.

Here's another of my card order.

Bulb from Prima Marketing

Texture is another way of adding details for the card. I actually bought a pack of fake lightbulbs as embellishments but when they came in the mail, I thought they're so huge! The ones that was given to me were small. Oh well, thankfully I managed to find a use for the lightbulbs. No no not to use it for real because it's just acrylic.

I love doing collages and now I also like to include some rub-ons such as the one from Kaiser Craft. Still not used to being able to rub the image well but yah, at least it turns out decently fine.
