Q

Do people ever tell you, ‘I could

tell that was created by you

immediately!’? Do you think you

have a signature and recognisable

style?

A

Yes, I do hear that from people

commenting on my cards. I guess

it’s the way I like to ink and create

backgrounds that makes them

recognize my work.

Q

Where do you get your inspiration

from?

A

How do I get inspired? I find

inspiration in challenges, watching

YouTube videos and on Instagram.

I love learning new techniques from

others. I always feel inspired when I

pick up a new stamp set too.

Karen Dunbrook is from Ontario,

Q

Do you ever challenge yourself to

craft outside your comfort zone,

and use colours and images that

wouldn’t be first on your list of

things to use?

A

I do like to challenge myself at times

especially when it comes to colour

combos. I need to get better with

that. Trying to think of new ways to

use what I already have is something

I like to challenge myself to as well.

Q

Crafting with a seasonal theme:

which is your favourite?

A

When it comes to crafting with a

seasonal theme, I would have to

say Christmas is my favourite. I love

creating and sending cards off to

keep in touch with my friends and

to let them know that I am thinking

about them.

“I felt inspired by spring’s arrival and all the colour it brings. I wanted to create a

simple collage style card featuring this beautiful flower from Visible Image and by

combining different stamps together to see what I can come up with. I began by

inking up a piece of acetate with Distress Oxides, sprayed with water and pressed

onto my cardstock. I stamped the flower, heat embossed it, then painted the flower

head with more Oxide inks. I stamped the rest until I was happy with the look then

added some stenciling from A Colorful Life Designs to give extra interest.”

Q

What do you do with all your

completed art work?

A

What do I do with my cards? I love

sending them out, giving them away

to friends to use or I like to bundle

them up to give as gifts.
