Operation Write Home.org asked bloggers to post their top 10 cards of 2012....a bit of a challenge for me since I have only been blogging since November! Actually- it was easier for me since I have less to choose from than some of the more experienced bloggers! So....here they are- in no particular order:
1. I like the image and the colors in this card! I used my copic airbrush system to color in the sky, masking the clouds.
2. I used acetate for the window and I like the penguin stamp!
3. I really like pink and navy together- and I adore MTF stamps!
4. Another My Favorite Things stamp.
5. I like the triple layer stamping on this card- I plan to try it again! [My flower frog looks dusty- it is not (not that I will ever win the most dust free home award!)- it is just very old....I stopped using it but I do like how the card stands up straighter!]
6. A fun card for a child- Inky Antics stamps with a honey pop apple inside!
7. A sweet puppy waiting for someone to come home- true loyalty!
8. My go-to-kids! I love these 2! So quick to color but so cute! And blue and yellow- love the MME paper pad!
10. And last but not least.... my soldier boy by Mo Manning! He is the sweetest boy ever and I am happy with the coloring of his skin and the digi camo paper! This image always makes me smile... I just want to hug him!
There you have it- my top 10 favorite cards of 2012! I am hoping that next year I have a lot more to pick from. I like blogging and I am so thrilled with the warm welcome given to me by the other OWH bloggers! I thought blogging would take a lot of time and that my cards would not be good enough.... but the time it takes is minimal and I figure- I am making cards- why not take a few more minutes to photograph and post! And I find taking part in the challenges and using the sketches gives me some direction and helps my creativity! So- thank you to those who have left such warm and supportive comments on my blog! I am looking forward to finding more inspiration from all of you!
Thanks for stopping by and take care!

Diane, I can see why your picked these cards as your top ten. For me to pick a favorite form this collection would be very hard because I like each one of them. I do love the sweet softness of the vintage card and, of course, your little soldier boy is outstanding. You did a fabulous coloring job on him. I wish you a very Happy New Year and look forward to seeing more of your creations in this coming year.
ReplyDeleteSo happy that you decided to join in the challenges! All are wonderful...but that dog card tugs at my heart strings. Your coloring on the last one rocks! Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteWell done Diane! Your cards are all fantastic, but I'm just loving that dog waiting for it's master to return! How perfect for OWH!! It's a pleasure to have you creating with the rest of us OWH card-makers, and have a wonderful and happy new year in 2013!

ReplyDeleteHi Diane! If this is just since November, I can't WAIT to see what you make next year! Your cards are super.
