Card Sharks
Why do we love handmade cards? From the crayon-scribbled cards we made for our parents as children, to a store bought card with a genuine handmade, handwritten message, cards show caring and creativity. When I took painting back in the 90's, painting books full of card patterns intrigued me, but not enough to try it. Years later, I saw a Pinterest pin of an embossed card to paint. Unfortunately, I couldn't afford the embossing machine or the paper to make these cards. So, I tried an economical version. Nope, not as pretty. Plus, since I used glue to try to get the embossed look, it made for a very sticky card. Since then, I've thought about cutting watercolor paper to the size of card I want and painting them one at a time. But, what if I want to make a set of 12 for someone? That would take way too long. So it hit me. Why don't I paint something. Scan it into the computer. Use a program to create the car...
