When I first started making cards, I used photographs which I had taken, some closeups of flowers and others of landscapes.  I mounted them on special cards made for 4 x 6 photographs and on the inside I would put either a spiritual thought or a quote I found appropriate for the person to whom the card was being sent.

From this point, I decided to try my hand at the cute and clever art of stamping cards which has been a very enjoyable creative undertaking.  Card making is a very creative outlet and allows one to make something creative and fun in a very short time as opposed to painting an entire picture.
