Variations of a theme

Dear friends,

Hi there and thank you for stopping by . . . .
It's been a while since my last post here but I have been beavering away, making cards and experimenting with my CraftArtist Pro by Serif. Even though I have been crafting for many years there is still so much for me to learn and none more so than with CraftArtist.
There is so much that can be achieved with this programme and I know I have only just tipped the iceberg. I've been practising making my own overlays and my next personal challenge is improving my clusters and layouts.
I really do enjoy making my own toppers and it always amazes me how, with subtle changes, that a card / topper can be made to look so different even though they may have a similar theme.

 Below are some cards that I have made using the 'Graceful as a Swan' digikit by the very talented Kyra over at Russian Dutch Heart.

After creating the various toppers in CraftArtist, all I have added is ribbon, gems and glitter then layered them onto mirror card. I do hope you like them xx

Creating my card toppers

Dear friends
Being typically English, I have to comment first on this glorious sunshine that we are all (hopefully) enjoying - long may it last although I'm sure my garden thinks otherwise!

As you probably know by now, my main hobby is card making, and there is nothing I enjoy more than creating my own toppers and backing papers using Serif's CraftArtist Pro.
I still have a lot to learn about how to use all the tools on CAP but I was rather pleased with the two toppers below.
Both very different from each other as you can see but I do like variety lol

This mystical themed topper was created in Craft Artist Pro using . . . .

The Lily Pond digikit from Oscraps designed by Lynne Anzelc

and some extra embellishments from an assortment of other digikits.

This vintage themed topper was also produced in Craft Artist Pro using . . .

a digikit called Vintage Florals 

which I have had for so long that I am not sure if it's from daisy Trail or not, sorry guys.

Thanks for stopping by though
