What's my style?

Hi, and welcome!

I absolutely luuuurve visiting other people's crafty blogs....not just cardmakers......almost any kind of craft will do it for me.......and I am regularly knocked out by all the creativity that I find.

What always amazes me is the diversity within that creativity, and there are many "styles" that I aspire to emulate, with varying degrees of success...............but still haven't worked out what my own particular "style" may be.

When I sit down to make a card, I rarely have much of an idea of what I'm going to do.....which is why I love sketches and a challenge theme.  I think I'm coming to the conclusion that I'm a craft-butterfly....I flit from one thing to the other, doin' a bit of this, and a bit of that, and never really settling on any one thing......in other words......fickle, lol.

Today's card is meant for my daughter-in-law, Tanys.....she will be 21 years old at the beginning of June....and I wanted to get ahead of all the up-coming birthdays before we go on holiday........

I actually started with the stamp for this one.......can't remember the maker, but it's a wood-mounted rubber one that I have had for about 6 years, but have always loved.........

I used Perfect Petals Fluid Chalk ink in a soft brown and mounted onto a Nestie's Flower Doily, which was layered onto a white doily that I inked around the edges........

I cut the funky blue flowers from a piece of DP (DCWV)....and the round scalloped one, behind, is a chipboard from K&Co.........

Another of the fussy-cut ones....love the sparkle on these...........

The background layers are all from the same Die-Cuts-With-A-View stack , and I inked around the edges with a Promarker......

how d'you like the chipboard "T" (for Tanys).......covered ith with the DP and inked.......the butterflies are two from the same sticker sheet, stuck one on top of the other.....pretty......

The lacey border and corners are cut with Nesties....first time I've used 'em, lol.....

and there's the finished card, again.......

Next card is going to be another male one.......hmmph........got a brother with a birthday at the beginning of June....like I said...tryin' to get ahead with 'em!

Thanks for takin' a look.....love it when you do!
