Sunrise the "Trio of Mints" was me! I used nesties for the scalloped circles

I haven't got nesties I'm sure I read somewhere that someone used stampin up punches but perhaps I've got confused lol there are so many talented people on here I love everything I look at !!

craftygranny thank you so much for the manga images - you have sent me so many:A i will have great fun colouring them in and will use a few to make some cards for you too.
I now need to get some promarkers to colour my images (having tried rusty's I now NEED some!). thanks melissa for the link to Amazon. I will buy them from there as I can use my valued opinions points so I'm not spending real money:D
I have been looking at the sets they sell and noticed that there are promarker sets and manga sets. the pens look identical to me but does anyone know any different. TIA

The Stampin Up punches seem to be a USA thing. But someone correct me if I'm wrong.

You can get circle and scallop punches, here's some circle ones on ebay: http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?LH_AvailTo=3&LH_PrefLoc=1&_nkw=circle%20punch&_dmpt=UK_Crafts_Cardmaking_Scrapbooking_DieCutting_Punches_EH&_fln=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m283

The only problem is they don't always say the diameter of them, so maybe best to check out a shop for sizes.

Sunrise you could look for Woodware Punches too. I think Rainmac has those so she may be able to tell you where to get them from
