Keeping it fun!

With all of the beautiful techniques out there and gorgeous, frilly stamps with flowers and lace, sometimes I can get a little too focused on making girly cards.  But when I look at the whole picture of cardmaking I can see that there is an area where I need to focus on sometimes, just to keep it light and fun.   Back in the "old days", when I use to buy my cards in the store, I always went for the humorous cards.  Cards that would make the recipient chuckle a little.  Make them smile.

These days, I find myself searching through the stores for humor again.  This time, instead of cards I'm searching for stamps.   The snarky sayings and the comical scenes are what I'm lacking in my card supplies and they don't seem to be in abundant supply in the card world either.  Or maybe I'm just not looking in the right places?

Well anyway, I thought I'd share a couple light cards with you.  Art Impressions have an awesome line of stamps that have a humorous side.  These little Fainting Chickens caught my eye not only for the cute factor but also because they looked super easy to color with my Kuretake Zig Real Brush markers.



Have an awesome weekend and don't forget to SMILE!
