    Can I ask a really silly question please ... what are the stamps people are using with the little girl on them? also what do you colour them in with as they always look so lovely!

    Oh and I had better ask where is the cheapest place to buy them from?

    Hello to Gemm85!!! Looking forward to seeing/hearing about some of your cards :D

    Bunbun - where's your card?

    Rusty - fab card, I love it!

    I've made another one and would like to submit this one for the challenge as I've thought about it rather than throw it together like the 4 I posted before :rolleyes: The flower and wording is cross stitched...

    The card is for the lovely melissa to congratulate her on her fab baby news :D Will post it to you next week lady ;)

    I also have some cr*ppy news to share if that's ok. My mum got her results from her second boob op yesterday and she's going to need a mastectomy. I so feel for her I can't put it into words as she's already been through a lot and has another operation to go through. It is just so unfair. Ok, that's my moan over, sorry :o

    Hugs Rainmac sorry that it was not good new for your mum. I love the card that you made very nice.

    Nice cards to every one as well and thanks for the nice comment about my card. I have started to try and design different ones. I tried a wedding one but so far its more like an argument with a mincer lol.

    Thankyou Saveapenny, and a big thankyou for having everything on your site .... Without your site I would be unable to make any cards as money is so tight with OH being out of work at the minute :( .....

    Wow Rainmac I love your card!!! It is so lovely!!

    As for the bad news, I am so sorry to hear it :( I can't imagine what you are all going through right now, and I really don't know what to say :( .... Try and keep your chin up and if you ever need to shout you know where I am .... big hugs to you xxx

  • rainmac - a lovely card and a lovely thought.
    As rusty said, I don't know what to say about your mum. I guess no-one ever does unless they've been in that position. I hope things go as smoothly as they can IYKWIM x
    some people grin and bear it, others smile and do it :)

    Rustflange - don't be daft - its a fab card, i love the colours on it. The stamps are Magnolia stamps I think, and the image is Tilda, the glitter pot has a big range. If you don't want to commit yourself to buying a stamp ebay has loads of the stamped images of these for sale, that's where I got mine from. I used some cheap watercolour pencils for mine, I think Polly used some proper watercolours - but she'll be able to tell you.
    Rainmac - I love my card, thank you so much. The stitched flower looks so delicate. I love how you incorporate your cross stitch into your card making. I'm really sorry to hear about your Mum, it must be a real comfort for her to know that she has such a wonderful daughter to support her.
    ZLS1984 - "an arguement with a mincer" - ooh I hope you are going to show us???!!!!!
