Making Cards - Ideas for a card craft beginner (Part 3)

Glittermum

Here's my card for JHB's Mother'sDay challenge, I thought I'd put it on here as well as my blog for a change! There are a couple of new cards made from my stash on the blog though...

I've just noticed that Little CLaire are now selling dies a bit like nesties - £12.99 for 4 shapes

I've got one from Kleeneze...it's okay, it works when I need it too but I'm not sure how it'd compare to any others, I've never had a different one, lol. It's about a year old?

Right, I'm going to buy them individually, I think. I've got vanilla in my basket...any other suggestions?

I also almost always use Vanilla on hair with Sandstone or Cinnamon (depending if I want light or dark hair).

I used to use Ivory for skin colour but have now switched to Blush for faces and Dusky Pink for cheeks. I love Pale Pink.

I have seen a demo of someone colouring a FF bear with Oatmeal and Apricot but when I've tried it my bears look too orange so stick to Vanilla and a bit of Dusky Pink on their cheeks.

Hope you're feeling a bit better, having some fun with the Promarkers will help I'm sure, doing a bit of colouring after a carp day helps me

Does anyone have a suggestion for a promarker to colour blonde hair?

Edit: Ahh, you already answered! Thank you!

Beautiful makes on blogs everyone :T, I coloured some images last night so hope to do something with those tonight. Also need to make my 2nd Mother's Day card/box.

Ali, I love your little cross-stitched chick. I am after some new little designs for Easter, something very quick to stitch!

I have a minted lamb casserole in the slow cooker as a type, the smell is divine!!! Thank you for the recipe Marg, when I went to the butcher they sold me half a shoulder as they didn't have any shanks.

Back to school tomorrow :j :j :j but DS1 is complaining of a pain in his tummy

Ordered! £40...oops!
Still, I can colour in bed. Just noticed that the Joanna Sheen websites says 5 days for dispatch though, had hoped to have them by the weekend

Hi, I think I might have missed a couple of pages will need to double check - so apologies if missed anyone, but think commented on blogs.

The Wife & Gemm - lovely distressed cards!!
Brilliant 40th gift - ooh sorry cant remember who posted it - but the can looks brilliant!!
Alyssa - I got a pack of card from Wilkinsons in the craft section and the pro-markers seem to be ok.
rainmac - thank you!! I got the pattern from here: http://www.cross-stitching.com/ havent linked it are we still allowed to?? In the freebie section. There didnt seem to be any under easter, but clicked on a couple of the others listed i.e. birds to see if there was anything suitable.



oops maybe I have linked it - how did that happen!?!
