Are you trying decoupage from plain images or already cut layers?

For all that lack alittle inspiration on card layouts try this site http://www.wittyliving.com/crafts/cardmaking/cardsketches.html

Lily-Rose...If you can either post a picture of what you want making into a backing paper or email it me( pm me for email address) I will do my best to make one

Morning all :hello:

Here's a couple of cards I've made after being inspired by this thread.
Saveapenny - this is from your frog paper (thank you!). It's not a very good quality picture, I've used foam pads to layer it:



And with this one I got the pram embellishment from the time for crafting link that minimacka posted yesterday (thanks minimacka):

Well my docrafts order came today - yay :T. Got sooooo much stuff in the sale for 20 quid. Just need the time to get making things

Rainmac - my stuff hasn't come:eek: so hopefully it'll be here tomorrow!

Jailhousebabe - great cards - I too like the frog one the best - the colours are so nice!

Marg - I feel like that sometimes when stuff doesn't go right, but keep trying - have you tried watching any videos - there's bound to be some on youtube.

Thanks for that template link savapenny, it is great for getting some ideas together xx

Does anyone know of any sites where you can download patterned paper to print off?

minimacka

I have been downloading lots from this site, its digital scrapbooking freebies but you can alter then and print them off, there are lots and lots of lovely freebies. http://digifree.blogspot.com/
