Deb, all cards are great. You are rigt, Paper Crafts have their own style, but i LOVE your Style ! The Christmas Cards are my fav´s. I like the colors from the Paris Card and this Santa Stamp- unique !
ReplyDeleteI think they're all FABULOUS, Deb! Love the Paris and the Arigato most of all--wonderful!

Awesome cards, Deb! I agree that the only reason these weren't chosen must be because they didn't fit the 'mold' that PC was trying for because they are each impressive creations. The background technique of your first card is amazing -- I need to give it a try!!
ReplyDeleteI think your cards are gorgeous! Remember.. it's always subjective to the editor's tastes. I wonder why they pick half the cards they do in those publications. Always make what you are proud of and what you like, not what you think might get published:-)
ReplyDeleteI love them all. I particularly love the first one ~ all those yummy distress colors together, that background is amazing!! I too love that particular santa image!! Great job, Paper Crafts doesn't know what they are missing out on!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh poo poo to Paper Crafts because I LOVE the Arrigato one. I love your work, Deb.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful cards; love all of your different styles!
