Posting cards I've made, and my attempts from the classes I've taken to improve my card-making skills. Some turn out well, some don't, but I learn something from all of them!

Another Crazy card
Here is a Tim Holtz Crazy Dog card, with sentiments by Dylusions. It was possibly influenced by all the political things going on. Colored with Copic markers.

Monday cardmaking
Decided to make a couple of cards today to start off the week.
The first card features Tim Holtz's Crazy Cats, with a sentiment from dylusions. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. I colored the cats with copic markers, and didn't fuss much with the shading.
After taking the photo I decided it needed another couple of lines to indicate the floor, so I added them. I think it really added something.

Online Card Classes--Holiday Style Day One--Clean and Simple
Love the Online Card Classes I've taken so far, and this one is shaping up to be another.
The first class was clean and simple, and I liked the technique Julie used for her trees. While she made it a one layer card, I had the Tim Holtz Crazy Birds stamps with matching dies, and wanted to try them out.
I masked a snow hill on the bottom of the card front, then colored the sky with Simon Says Stamp steel blue ink, using a stipple brush to, I hope, look like a swirling snowy sky. I then stamped a tree (from Hero Arts Sending Holiday Cheer stamp set) several different times, using first and second generation stamping to get color variations. I was hoping to give the card the illusion of distance for some of the trees.
After stamping, coloring, and die stamping a bird, I stamped and colored a Santa hat and candy cane, also from Tim Holtz. Since I don't have the dies for this set (yet), I was forced to cut out by hand. I'm not good at this, and the die set is definitely going on my Christmas list!!
I glued the hat and candy cane to the bird, then glued it to the front of the card front I had made. I stamped the sentiment from Tim Holtz on the front, and used a sentiment from the Hero Arts stamp set--may your home be filled with the joys of the season--for the inside. The sentiments were stamped in Momento Tuxedo Black.
The front was trimmed to 5 1/4 by 4 inches, and was then attached to the card front.
