It's True Love

It's true love this card making thing.  Sometimes when I make a card I can't give it away because I become emotionally attached to it.  I wonder if artists feel the same way about their work.  Knowing of course that I am not nearly at the same level of a professional but still is it hard for a sculptor or a painter to let go of a piece of their work?

 Having asked that question when I get home from getting to know my grandbaby I think I am going open an account on etsy and see if I can sell cards.  

There is a part of me that does others to see my cards and pat me on the back because I am so amazing!  No worries, I recognize that I often have an issue with approval seeking.

The bigger part of me however is very selfish and I just want to make enough money to be able to afford my habit.

Do you see these cards?  I love them.  
 I rarely venture into black and whites because they require much more precision.  And lets just say that precision isn't my thing.

But when I do venture into the world of black and whites I always love them.  In photographs I actually love black and white much more than color.

I kept these simple because I think the black and white speak for themselves.  I added the ribbon because I felt like the card needed a little bit of emphasis.  I am not  
 in love with the red, but it was all i had.  Next time I think that a silver or even a deep charcoal would look stunning.

I love these and am not sure anyone will get them LOL, but I will definitely be making more of these.

By the way I used Close To My Heart stamps on these enjoy!
