Thank You Cards

So my attempt to make cards on my own.......  I've come to the conclusion that I'm best doing them with my sis who can guide me or just go back to painting and leave card making to my sis.  She can definitely make better cards!

Here are the four I made for the family:

This one was ok:

This one I attempted to paint on it.... kinda sucks:

(I know what a freaky bird's eye!)

I had made the daisies before and thought to add them to this.  It looks ok.  I used a bit of papers that I found and bought at the dollar store:

Again, as you can see, with what I have on hand, it doesn't work too well for cards.  That white after his tail isn't on the card.  Think it was the flash that did it.

Everything I have is basically for the painting things I do.  I really don't want to get into buying tons of card making stuff as it costs.  I do enjoy making the cards.... but with my sister more.  Maybe it's because we finally have something to do together.  Either way, I have and funny feeling I'll be buying card making stuff and have no idea who to send cards too!

PS add on.... I wanted to make a get well card for Muriel.  She had both hips replaced.  Here is her card.  Went with very simple:

Says on front - you got a friend in me... and inside .... who wishes you a speedy recovery.
