I decided to challenge myself to some card makings in the month of June. I tried to make a card a day, or every alternate day, not limiting myself to quilling only, but also trying out other card making techniques. I feel like pushing myself out of my comfort zone, to try out working with pattern papers, or brads or dies or stamps etc. Also I try to challenge myself to try colour palettes or sketches that I don't normally feel comfortable to work with.
Pattern paper + die cutting + sketch
Pattern paper + sketch + quilling
Pattern paper + quilling + distress inking
Stamping + CAS
Pattern paper + die cutting + sketch + quilling
Here are some of the experimental cards thus far:
Pattern paper + sketch + quilling
Pattern paper + die cutting + sketch
Pattern paper + sketch + quilling
Pattern paper + quilling + distress inking
Stamping + CAS
Pattern paper + die cutting + sketch + quilling
I like some of the cards better than the others, but the purpose of the challenge is not to produce only pretty cards. It is meant to explore different techniques and push myself out of my comfort zone. So I treat them as experiments. There's no right or wrong, just more effective or less attractive. Gonna squeeze my creative juice harder!
