MAKE YOUR CHRISTMAS CARDS...
AND OTHERS
Since how long do you practise ATC ?
I make cards since one year. I started because I made an announcement for my marriage last year. I knew scrapbooking but the card format really packed me. Indeed it is unbounded, no restrictions. As I spend much time on my creations, the ATC is ideal.
What do you prefer in the card making?
What I like best are my stamps. I would not separate of them for nothing in the world. I adore the fact that with the same stamp you can do so many different creations.
Also, I love playing with inks. Their effects are each time different.
What are your favourite colors?
I do not have a preferred color. I like rather harmonies of colors. I love all the peppy and pastel colors. Everything depends on the project I'm working on.
What brings the card making to you?
Card making is a way of escaping, to decompress. Having a formation of "art-plasticienne" it is a way for me of finding the play of the colors, the matters and the composition of the project.
After one day's work, it is an ideal way to have a break, to take time for live.
And finally through Internet, it is a hobby than connects me whith "copinautes" (others Scrap-friends) which have the same passion.

Stamp your pattern using Memento ink. It is a water resistant ink that will then allow you to colorize yourdesign afterwards.
