I think I’m beginning to iron out some of the flaws in the
posting of this card blog. I’ve been trying
to figure out a better way to photograph the cards. I’ve been looking at what other card bloggers
do and decided that using a neutral background looks best, so I’m ditching the
black.
Also, I found taking pictures of the cards upright is easier
plus you avoid casting weird shadows. Another
issue I’ve been tackling is trying to make all the pictures the same width so
that it looks more pleasing when I post, by avoiding the annoying varying sizes
of photo frames.
On the cards making front: I have been continuing to make cards out of my
doodles. Now that I have a few cards
under my belt, when I look at some of my early cards they seem very plain. I
didn’t use many embellishments or many layers. I’m finding as I get more comfortable with the
process I am starting to experiment a little more.
This week I am posting some more of my early card designs. Two
Birthday cards, one for a boy and one for a girl, plus a Thank You card
coloured two ways. Once again, the
images were drawn by me and coloured with Copic Markers. The word stamps are
from Stampin’ Up! and the background papers are from a variety of different
sources.
I am always open to suggestions, comments or critiques,
after all this is a learning process.
