What is your card style?

I was talking about this to a few friends the other day about card style.
Seems like there are stampers, scrappy cards, simple/graphic......I was trying to figure out where I stand on this but I think I am a mix of most of it depending on my mood.

So what do you think your card style is?

Hmm.. I'd say I'm all over the place style, lol!

When it comes to cards, I find that I go more simple than I would with a layout.

I want my senitment to come across more fully instead of my love of art and/or story.

I don't consider myself a true card maker. I find my cards to be okay, but then I see others cards and am totally blown away, so I would say my style is novice and unsure.

Spastic! Can that be a style?

I don't do cards real often and I don't think I have ever made 2 alike ever. I just kinda go with the flow!

I love cards! Anything I can color actually would be my style. I love stamps and have a mild addiction to copics as well. I think they remind me of having a brand new big box of crayola when I was little;) Not sure what style that would make me.

huumm I approach cards the same way I scrap.
So basically my cards are a small version of a layout with out a pic ...I guess.

Norma I approach cards the same way. Sometimes they are simple and sweet and sometimes they are complex.. Kinda like my moods. LOL

LOL, Spastic. I might use that one next time someone asks me about my card style!

I think I make cards the same way I scrapbook.
So that means my cards are clean, crisp, colorful, shabby, romantic, playful and fun.

Basically what ever I am aiming for and totally depends on the paper and occasion - I have never been able to define my "style" to one category - plus I love trying new things! Laughing

yay Anna... this is one thing that bothers me a bit about the industry.
I do not want to define myself or place myself into a descriptive box.

I scrap however I feel and feel differently from moment to moment.

I know exactly what you mean. I don't feel my layouts fall into one "style" that's why I always describe myself as a freestyle scrapper....b/c whatever I'm feeling in that moment is what I'm gonna do. Sometimes that can be simple, more clean lines, artsy...whatever! And I think that is perfectly okay!!

And My cards tend to go the same way.

I think mine are definitely clean and simple. Maybe too simple at times Smile

hard to say for me. I agree with Norma and Anna's comments that I can't really define my exact style. Sometimes I am simple and othertimes to borrow the word "spastic" mentioned here earlier. I feel like you can't embellish enough and then other times it's just leave it alone. Glad to read others feel the same way.
