Graphically Speaking: Part 1


Some exciting things have been happening around here...
Lately I've been putting away the old paper cutter, glue and stamps, and pulling out the pencils, paintbrushes and water colours! Suffice to say that I have had a number of "I never knew I had it in me" moments, and as people 'ooh' and 'ahh' at my new-found gift, I can't help but think back to my cards. Turns out water colouring and cards go together like ketchup and fries! My method at the moment consists of:


 1. Actually painting the design.





 2. Scanning the end products. 







 3. Altering them graphically on a computer.







4. Printing out the design onto card.







And there you have it! I was actually surprised myself at how well they all turned out, and am looking forward to creating new designs. I hope you have enjoyed the few I have made so far. Stay tuned for more!
