Wallet Card

Hello everyone, 

How are you all doing? Good I hope! 

Still trying to get my cardmaking back on track and signed up for another swap on Do Crafts site. If you are not a member of this fabulous site then I can highly recommend it!  I have been a member of various crafts sites/forums and I always return to Do Crafts.  There is no clicks like there are on other sites. If you post a question or query you never know who is going to answer. There are some people who post on there regularly and are on there everyday but you can join in their conversations quite easily and they really are a friendly bunch! 

Anyway back to the wallet card swap. I signed up for this as well as this is always brilliant fun, you may remember I done a few of these swaps last year as well!!  I love them.  You put your name down, get allocated your partner then you swap addresses (and set a swap theme if you want!).   If you don't know how to make a wallet card then please visit Redrottie's Wallet Card Tutorial and you will see how simple these are to make. 

Again I had new papers that I really wanted to use. This time the colour scheme was soo outwith my comfort zone but I think I managed to tie it all in, what do you think? 

Here is an arty farty side view of the wallet card.  I can't show you the goodies inside as you might get jealous but I can tell you there was a few different bits and bobs in there. 

Everyone at the moment seems to be creating a really high standard of colouring and I have been trying (when I have time) to read/watch various tutorials on the best ways to do this. Obviously everyone's style is different but I wanted to bring my colouring up to speed.  Have you seen some of the colouring out there just now (OMG!!!!), there is no way I will ever be as good as that but then I don't have a whole load of spare time that I can spend to practice my colouring.  If I can get to grips with the shading etc then I will be a bit happier with my colouring techniques.  I am getting there slowly, what do you think?? 

I have been trying to imagine where the light is coming from and where the shadows etc would be but I am not that good with it, I seem somewhere that someone had a piece of paper where she had drawn a light bulb and she would place her stamped image on this piece of paper and have the light bulb coming from wherever she wanted her light source to be. I may have to do something like that!!
