Colorful, funky cards....

Some non Christmas art today. Hand drawing a few birthday cards for a change. Got 3 cards drawn and colored today. Tomorrow I'll put the birthday greetings in the middle. 

​I had so much fun doing doing the variegated coloring on these cards. I really enjoy the way it looks and I'm sure I'll do it a lot more.

Working on my fonts....

Picture
I'm making a conscious effort to try to create smaller, more delicate fonts. I don't have any fancy program to help me, it's all done free hand. I have some font styles on my word program and there's this cool online site 1001 Fonts where I can type in what words I want and see it in different styles. Then I just get my pencil out, have a look at it and basically try to "draw" the written words I like. It's quite the process but I'm always pleased with the result but I must admit that sometimes it takes me a really long time to decide on the font to use.

Easy splatter paint Christmas cards....

Picture






​




Love this quick and easy Christmas card design!

Cut out a Christmas tree shape, place either the cut out piece (left) or the piece with the hole (right) on top of a white card.

Then use a toothbrush to splatter paint on the card to get the cool result shown on the bottom. Add a little finishing touches and you're done.

Hand crafted Christmas cards....

It's Christmas in July .... well at least for my art creations. Time to get some stock on hand for the fall market season. Have been working on sea glass Christmas trees and wreaths and now I'm starting to paint some Christmas cards. I love this idea of using a toilet paper roll to outline oval ornament shapes.

Some funky birthday cards...

Picture













I'm having lots of fun with this new style of cards I'm creating. This is such a great card design for when I'm not feeling inspired but still have the urge to create. It's a simple no brainer. Just doodle whatever over a water color background and I've got some funky looking cards. Very unique.

    Who knew there was an artist lurking within? Certainly not me.

    It started with my Mom giving me some paints that she wasn’t using but I never did anything with them because “I wasn’t artistic” - according to myself. We really need to learn to have a kinder inner voice because I have discovered that apparently I am artistic.
     
    In early 2018 I was introduced to an artist on Instagram ​from Australia who makes the most beautiful art. I looked at it and was truly inspired. I thought how hard can it be to put dots on some rocks. I had never felt that I was artistic at all but this woman has changed me forever! So I began and since that time I have started following even more rock artists to inspire me.

    In late 2019 my sister in law introduced me to another Instagram person who creates coloring books. Drawing is another thing I said I could never do but thanks to the inspiration I am receiving from this woman and through various social media sources I have discovered that I actually can draw.
     
    So the lesson is....you never really know what you are capable of until you actually try it! Never say never, I can’t etc. to yourself. Obviously I have to change my words and thoughts from - "I'm not artistic" and "I can't draw" to.....
    ​"Cool something new! Let's give it a try and see where it goes!" And now when people ask me what I do I say - I am an Artist!
     
    I look forward to expanding my creativity. Thank you for your interest and support.
