Share your final styled card!

Whether this is your first foray into pen and paper or you're an experienced mixed-media artist, share the work that Carly's lessons inspired. Upload a photo of your finished piece or some samples of your creative experiments using the materials you found at home.

As you move through each lesson, consider the following:

If you've used pen and paint before, try using materials that will take you out of your comfort zone. Can this spark inspiration and bring about new styles?
Is there a way of adding meaning to your piece using mementos, photos, or phrases that remind you of who you're giving the card to?
Once your creation is complete, how can you play with camera settings and after effects to add a new meaning, dimension, or perspective to the piece?

If you find you're becoming frustrated with your work, remember you can change tactics, mediums, and materials at any time. Taking a break to go for a walk in a new neighborhood or simply exploring Google images can result in some unexpected creative thunderbolts!
