I was going to post one of the first cards I did 4 years ago when I first started stamping - I'll have to search my CD's to see if I can locate it - I think it's fun to look back and see how far we've all come, since we stamped our first images.
Now onto a question for you...When you design a card, do you pick out your images you want to use first, or do you design your backgrounds and then pick your images?
Off to locate the first stamped card.....

Well, I normally have to have a reason behind the card, say "congratulations" (which I need two of right about now) then I, then depending on the gender, age, etc., I chose a stamp set and the cards' colors. Then I start to work on the layout of the card. Sometimes things influence this process like a new punch, then I will find a stamp that will work with the new tool. :D
Now, all that is if I am creating from scratch, which probably doesn't happen too much because I don't have a creative bone in my body (honestly!) so I CASE alot, so I draw my inspiration from someone else. Sometimes I am inspired by a color combo so then I choose the theme to go with the color combo or sometimes it is the layout of a card that I am CASEing.
Boy Lisa, you ask hard questions! Sorry if this is TMI! I guess the short answer is generally I pick my images since I don't think I've hardly started with a background! ;)
Thank you for all the inspiration you give!
You make beautiful work!!
Bety :)
