First post

Just getting started and finding my way around, had a livejournal for years but since the advent of facebook I've neglected it. Decided to set this blog up for my card making activities. 
To start with I thought I'd share one of my favourite cards made recently. Really chuffed with how it turned out. 
Main image was coloured in using my aquamarkers I have developed my own way of using the pens straight to paper, took lot's of practise to achieve what I wanted but was worth it, on the whole I'm happy with what I produce, although there is always room for improvement. 
Background is stamp and colour card from Stamps Away, embossed using one of their masks and then inked with distress inks. Added some gems for an extra touch.
