Hi bloggers
I have taken a short course to help me find inspiring designs for boys and men's cards. Why are they such a trickly genre to make interesting and individual cards for. I suppose it doesn't help that you can't embellish your card with bows and gems and lace and flowers and stuff!
The course I am taking is online with My Creative Classroom http://www.mycreativeclassroom.com/. They have all different courses and if you want help learning new techniques or just some inspiration it is definitely worth a 'google'.
So I have been sent some sketches, which are line drawings of card layouts that show how to lay out your card to get a good balance. I have kept my interpretation of the sketches quite simple.
Another confession here ... as much as I want to try new techniques ... there's this little gremlin in my head that keeps putting off getting started (the same gremlin that is probably quite convinced I will make a total hash of it all!).
But I have had a good few hours making some boy's cards using the sketches and lesson inspiration that they supply you with. I even re-discovered some papers that haven't been used in years. And I have learned a very important lesson too, which is: don't listen to that stupid gremlin in your head - just get stuck in!
Until next time,
Happy Crafting!
