2013 Cards in Review

I pulled together some cards that I really liked from 2013.  Harder than I thought it would be!

 My favorite coloring job ever.  Plus I love the Lulu images.

Country birthday just right for this country girl.  My first try at spattering.

Who doesn't love sequins and being able to use the negative of a die cut?  Very time-consuming but the results so worth it.

Spatter/sponge bokeh with eye-pleasing results.  I love silhouettes.

I was really torn if the rolled tree card was one of my top picks; I like but do I love?  In the end it makes the list because it's cute and whimsical and I'm proud of the concept and execution.

Love this one.  It's simple but powerful.

In looking back, I can see that my fav cards involve flowers/trees and usually are CAS.  I've been experimenting with many different styles and techniques so to see my personal style develop and become more focused is way cool.

  1. A beautiful selection. I love the splash of red on the last card - it really is a powerful image; isn't it.

  2. Hi Toni, Thanks for your lovely comment on my blog, I thought I'd pop over and take a peek at your creations and this little selection is lovely. I think the rolled tree is probably my favourite though, because it's something that I've been wanting to try too, but not plucked up the courage to do (yet)! I think you've inspired me to go for it! Fab cards Toni.
    Have a lovely crafty 2014.
