Cardmaking

I have found that any free time that I have, I spend it looking at other blogs of people who stamp! I am just dying to get some extra money so I can invest is some of that kind of rubber!!! I have always loved what you can do with stamps. I can't draw and make things look nice in that way, but with stamps there is just so many different ways you can put them together. I did spend a little money a month ago and bought some clear stamps at Wal-Mart, but seeing these blogs......I want MORE!!!! LOL


What got me going again were Copic Markers these things alone are quite expensive, but I bought a few after seeing what you can do with them. They allow you to shade and build layers of color. I did see on one of my wanderings, someone (sorry I don't remember who) who had made flowers out of punches that were really pretty. So since I have used my limited supply of stamps I decided to try my hand with these flowers and markers. I really like the way it came out. I will post a picture later. But here are some of the cards that I have made.


This card I made for Craig for Father's Day, I know it isn't very "fatherly" and I have seen some awesome Father's day cards, but you work with what you get. It was also a challenge "Get Knotty" over at Splitcoast Stampers. It is funny how you start with an image in your head how the card will be, but end up with something totally different. KWIM??
I am thinking that maybe I should start another blog just for my card making, what do you think???
I will post the other card that I have as well as the flowers that I made as soon as I take pictures, now I need to go and make a Birthday Card for Hubby as today is his birthday.
