I call myself the Queen of Wonky. These cards are a prime example why...lol. I have a really hard time getting things centred and straight when I put together my cards. I do have a legitimate reason though...I'm too short.
I'm a paraplegic...I sit in a wheelchair and cannot stand up. Most tables and counters are too high for me to get myself up high enough to see straight down onto a card or tag to see how I'm aligning things...hence WONKY! But I still enjoy making cards so those who receive my cards will need to able to enjoy the "handmade" quality to them...lol. here are some of my latest cards:
This one was created using on my of free card templates. And I used digital papers that I designed myself and printed off with my Epsom Ink Jet printer, cut out the pieces and assembled them on a beige A6 card. See my wonky Happy Birthday stamping? UGH
This card is using my wildflower digital stamp that I coloured in with watercolour pencil then used my trusty water brush to paint over it. (See my little pink smudge?) I have this cool Purple Cow paper trimmer that has 15 different edged cutting blades. I used a large scalloped one to trim shiny purple paper and DCWV floral glittered card stock for the matting and layering. I attached a pink ribbon and bow and notice I inked the edges of the digital stamp and floral paper. Then I got out a needle and thread and stitched on some little plastic flowers with a bead. I also stitched one on the bow as well. This one isn't too wonky...lol.
Thanks for looking at my cards!
