Making cards - Ideas for a card craft beginner (part 2)

flourgirl

This is the prinking tool I use, you can see against the penny the scale of it. You can use one of those pins with a bead on, it's a bit more fiddly to handle but it works if thats all you have got. I don't use a special mat I just have a piece of dense sponge from a packing box. Maybe something like a polystyrene tile would suffice.
The butterfly pattern is really easy even if you haven't done one before. I use one thread of DMC or Anchor and the shaded threads are lovely for flowers and butterflies.

Rainmac I have 2 more ideas for your mums card if you would like them.

Mary, Rusty and Hels why don't you have a go, they really are easy and very effective. The backing paper is Basic Grey (again) Sultry.

Can I ask a really stupid question about blogs ?
I've sorted out an account and created a blog (nothing on it yet tho ), but my email addy is visible at the top in the blue bit - does anyone know if only I can see it or if it is visible to everyone ? Thanks

Don't forget - Papermania hour at 4pm on QVC
