Finding My Niche on GreetingCardUniverse.com

So my newest contributions to my Greeting Card Universe shop would be designs encompassing my love for colour thrown together with a mix of magical fantasy and fairies and butterflies - all rolled into one.

And the end result is... (drum roll please)

Now as you can see, I made this particular design into a party greeting card invitation. But I can customize it to any theme that one would wish.

I love working with all kinds of colour and experimenting with colour to figure out what colours work together and which ones don't. Plus I love being creative and artsy and seeing how far you can go with creating a design that you love and that you hope your audience and "shop goers" will love too.

When you become a artist on GCU (Greetingcarduniverse.com), you need to have a niche to be able to stand out from other artists, who in actuality are your competition. Now, in the end it all comes down to which card is going to be the one that the customer decides to buy. You have no control over that, but you can help yourself by having various options in the category that are mostly your designs. Then it narrows down which artist will get the sale. Ultimately, it's the buyers choice whether its going to be your lucky day or not. All you can do is hope that the customer loves your card as much as you do.

Finding your niche, sets you apart from the crowd and enabling you to have your own style and not similar to someone else's. This makes you different from another artist, maybe even help you get more sales from another.

This is my niche and I love it! I love colour and everything about colour. The different moods that it can put you in. The fact that colours can make you feel happy or energetic. its crazy! But thats why I love it :) 

The stamps or "brushes" that I use in my card designs are downloaded from a site called Obsidian Dawn.  

There you can find all kinds of digital design resources!!

Another part I enjoy is experimenting with different font styles! It is amazing what can be said for a different style. You want your font style to reflect the theme of the card that you have designed, so the whole thing must work together. But thats part of the fun, playing and seeing which one fits best.

Anywho, this is my niche... what do you think?
