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
