not to mention weirdness. see, sometimes i just realllllllllllly need to work freeform. case in point:
(patterned paper: basic grey, dcwv + butterfly cut from giftwrap; vintage: sheet music, tarot card; florals: prima, petaloo; gem swirls: prima; bird charm: blue moon; felt ribbon: k&co; grungeboard keyhole: ranger; brads: making memories; epoxy sticker: michaels; other: colorbox inks, foam tape)
i got these FABULOUS vintage tarot cards at a rummage sale in december...the little bird charm was a 2-fer-1 at michael's right before xmas...the black gem swirls are the bits cut off of bigger ones to make them fit on various cards...the sheet-music flower was made for something else but never used...the butterfly was leftover from vc's card in november...and the rest are just bits & bobs from here & there. i had no idea WHAT i was making until i was finished, at which point it was absolutely clear i'd made a birthday card for my friend cheryl. woohoo--another one crossed off the january list!
I love these cards that originate from bits and pieces and no plan. They often become my faves over the planned meticulously cards :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your lovely comments yesterday!
Ooooh.....Lauren......this is really magnificent! I gotta try this freeform type of designing..lol. I usually have card designs stored in my lil head...what a fabulous tarot card...Happy Monday!!
ReplyDeleteOh, my, but this is FABOO! I have yet to be able to pull off this aimless art, though I am often aimless in other ways. ;-)
ReplyDeletehmmm hmmm hmmm...how come when i put bits and bobs together, it really does look aimless and you are able to create yet another Lauren masterpiece? no fair!!!
ReplyDeleteI think your blurry portrait is making me car sick ... however, clicking through to see this aimless beauty is worth a little motion sickness nausea :^)
ReplyDelete♥ the shiny butterfly.
