Australian Simply Cards - 2014 Cardmaker Of The Year

Hi Everyone,

Big News!!!

In November 2014 I entered, for the first time, the Australian Simply Cards 2014 Cardmaker Of The Year competition.

I am very excited to share that I have been informed by Tracey Orchard - Editor of Australian Simply Cards on 13 April 2015, that I am 1 of the 9 Runners Up in the Australian Simply Cards 2014 Cardmaker Of The Year competition.

I would like to say a big thank you to Tracey Orchard - Editor of Australian Simply Cards and her lovely team for selecting me as one of the 9 runners up. Congratulations to the Winner and the other 8 runners up.

A Big Thank You to my husband that motivated me to enter the Australian Simply Cards 2014 Cardmaker Of The Year competition.

Other Exciting News!!!

My cards will be published for the first time in a magazine.  The three cards that I entered for the Australian Simply Cards 2014 Cardmaker Of The Year competition are published in Australian Simply Cards, Issue 80 on Page 68.

Card 1

Image:  Birthday Girl - Lia Stampz.  Sentiment:  LOTV Vintage Sentiments Occassions.  Coloured with Copic Sketch Markers.  Pattern Paper:  Digital Crafting Essentials Dreamees.  Cardstock: Kaisercraft Weave.  Dies:  Memory Box Chloe Stem, Crochet Corner, Pippi Butterfly and San Marzano Border.  MFT Mini Royal Roses and Feathers and Arrows.  Poppystamps Gentle Leaf and Petite Four Border.  Cheery Lynn Designs Lace Corner Deco F.  Mpress Antique Frame.  I used Stickles on the dies.

I made a Twisted Easel Card found the tutorial at Stempeleinmaleins.

Card 2

Image:  Girl Flower Butterfly - Aurora Wings.  Sentiments:  LOTV Sentiment Tags and Stampart Designs Sophie.  Coloured with Copic Sketch Markers. Pattern Paper:  Digital Crafting Dreamees. Dies: Memory Box Pippi Butterfly and Gentle Leaf.  MFT Mini Royal Roses.  Couture Creations Scalloped Circle and Doily.  Marianne Designs Creatables Vintage Fan 1 and Anja Edge.  Cheery Lynn Designs Lace Corner Deco F and Pine Branches.  I used Stickles on the Image and Dies.

Poppystamps Gentle Leaf.  Stencil:  Simon Says Stamp Falling Snow.  Studio 490 - Embossing Paste White.  I used Stickles on Image and Dies.

To be honest it felt quite daunting to enter, because of the wonderful cards I have seen other cardmakers make.  It was all thanks to my husband that motivated me to enter the competition.  You can be the next winner, all that you need to do is making some cards for the next competition and enter.

I also need to thank Alyce Keegan from Kit and Clowder, without her wonderful teaching, feedback and excellent colouring class tutorials, I would not have improved on my skills in colouring these beautiful images.  A big thank you Alyce.

If you want to improve your colouring and learn allot about colouring, make sure to visit Alyce Keegan Colouring Classes at Kit and Clowder.
