Afternoon Blogland
Another lengthy pause between posts, not intentional it's just that I'm struggling at the minute to find the ooomph to blog. Always something else that needs doing, blogging will re-appear high on my to-do list again, it's just low priority right at the minute.
Doesn't mean to say I'm neglecting making cards - that I'm certainly not! Got proof as well in the form of the card I'm posting today. No reason to make it at all, don't even know any birthday boys, just felt like colouring a Pollycraft image and this one jumped to the front of the pile!
Have to say this card did not end up looking anything like the idea I had at the start! I'm not impressed with the colouring of his face - I was going for the 'he's got a nose/snout' angle, don't think I quite got there though. Also there wasn't going to be any patterned paper on the card at all and now there's loads, the card was going to be square, then a side fold 5x7, now it's a top fold 5x7. Hoping I'm not alone in a finished card looking nothing like the start point, or I'll just have to acknowledge what I've always thought - I'm a total weirdo!!!
Here's the card:
Aw this is so cute! Love the image and your colouring is fab! Great choice of papers and the chipboard letters look great! You are definitely not the only one whose cards don't end up how we visualised them lol!! You did a great job on this one though and thanks for joining in with my challenge at Passion for Markers. Hugs, Karen x
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute mouse, beautifully coloured as expected! The design and papers are lovely too.
ReplyDeleteIt's far more unusual if one of my cards ends up looking like I first visualised it...almost always they end up completely different!
