When One Thing Leads to Another

You have a set!

Hawaiian Ginger

Aloha!

My sister challenged me to make a card from this stamp of a ginger flower.  She also suggested that I include the dots that I used on the previous cards.  I'm thankful for this suggestion; I was thinking it was going to be a little bare but I had no ideas about what to add.  

I used chalk inks for these - on both I used olive for the leaves and stem.  On the the top card I used rouge for the flower, and on the bottom one, wisteria.

Creativity and Making Choices

 

It is much easier for me to start the creative process if I begin by limiting my choices.  I wanted to make some "guy cards" - what we cardmakers call cards suitable for men and boys.  It has been awhile since I printed some trucks, but with my huge selection of wonky drawings, how did I choose which to print?

I have a file which has a few folded cards all ready cut and folded, so I dipped into that and found two brown cards that have been there for far too long.  That limited my choice of trucks by color - perfect.  The card below is going to my nephew for his birthday, and the one above will go in the box for when I need a card quickly.
