Corpe's Bride Card Request.

I had a request for this next card.

I completed it a few weeks ago, But totally forgot about posting it.
Let me tell you I was way out of my comfort zone, as Im only used to doing fair skin and Blonde/Brunette hair.

However It turned out Quite well I must admit.

This is just a quick throw together card.

I was asked by a friend if I had any cards for his wife's 30th, which was the following day. 

I already had Tilda coloured, So it was just a matter of putting it all together.

I must say I was quite impressed how this card turned out. However it was not chosen to give to his wife, as he was looking for a card from their children.

But I did use the card myself to give to her for her Birthday.

Cards Made By Me...

I have decided that I am going to start sharing some of my work... EEEK

Please be aware I am the worst critic.. I am one of these people that will find a fault in everything I do, or not be completely happy or confident in my creations..

So here is a recent Card made for my Niece's 4th Birthday -  It did have the little Draws on the bottom of the card, which where ment to hide some of her present, however once completed I thought it looked too Bulky, so the draws where removed. ( I didnt take another photo of the finished card with out the drawers)



Stamp Used: Sweet Princess Tilda By Magnolia Stamps.
Copic's, Stampin' Up Cardstock and Ribbon, 
Star Buttons where from Thailand - I can not remember the name they where from a little craft stand.



Getting to know Me..

I am new to the Blogging Scene, Im not a huge fan of sharing Personal information, Stuff about myself or family.. And definitely not my creations..

However my Hubbie and Bestie keep telling how good my creations are.. Even if im not 100% sure about them myself.

Most of my creations are cards, I find that they have more meaning, for yourself and the reciever.

I have done pages in the past, Most are un-finished as i would get frustrated about something not working how I wanted it to, So I would give up.

My First ever Completed Page was done Only a few years ago with the help of a Friend Sarah. From there I went on to being more confident about Scrapbooking, however I was still getting frustrated I knew what I wanted to say or Do on my pages, but I just could not communicate it across the page.

I later started to make cards. Even though the area is smaller, I found that Cards where more meaningful.

I have even got my Bestie Jane into Scrapbooking to help her through a difficult time. Im very Proud of my influence, However Im sure Jane Hates me at times, as OUR addiction is becoming Costly.

Jane has recently got me into Copic Markers. I Love Copic, I will often spend hours just colouring Images. I have so many Images that I have coloured, where only a handful of them have actually made it onto a Card or two. All the rest have been placed into a Smash book, so that I can follow the Progress of my Blending/Colouring Techniques, and Colour Combos.

....


I think thats It really.

Cheers
