Wanna B & CT - Thank you! And what I should also have said -How gorgeous Dragonllew's makes were, so inventive and well made.

CT - The flower image is from a Hallmark card making program that I resort to when desperate! I can send you the image in PDF if you'd like. I signed up for emails from crafty ribbons, they run a comp almost every week (Friday I think) and the first 10 to comment/apply are sent a bundle of ribbon in exchange for making a card/project or two for them to show. I found it hugely stressful.

Can I ask a question please? When you emboss a card & want to add glittery chalk what do you use? I've tried the little sponge things that come with but it always looks streaky - is there a secret to it?

Thanks Marg that would be fab if you could - think you have my email address already.

Sorry I know nothing about chalks, but it has reminded me of a question I had.

Is there such a thing as glitter spray, that you can add to a card, I have stickles, but find I am a bit heavy handed with them. Any ideas or recommendations - thinking of doing an aperture card for my christmas cards this year, and want to have a bit of glitter on the aperture, and thought I would be easier if there was a spray available.

Dragonllew your makes on Crafty Ribbons were fab too.

Rusty - I'd like the link for Kling too please.:)

Ali.B - I like the sound of your challenge but have a few urgent cards to make first.

CT - will do!

CT Rusty and myself got some Crafters Companion Spray and Sparkle from the NEC we were cheeky enough to swap our bunny ears for a tin each. I think its about a fiver, not sure if I would spend that though its a pig to get off skin lol You have to spray it outside and about 10 inches away from your project otherwise its too much.

Congratulations ali b x

Thanks Flourgirl, I'll google it. Thought I'd read something somewhere about glimmer mist, is that the same thing?

Marg and Dragonllew your Crafty Ribbon projects are fabulous :T:T

Hi alll apologies for strange post struggling to post off phone!

Item number for Klingon on is ... 320562800010. Can't do link on here as can't access eBay through net only app but search for that item number on eBay xxx It says grade b which is seconds but mine was perfect apart from a few creases and it's cheaper to buy 2 of these than buy 1 brand new!

Dragonllew sorry lol

Ali it's fine xx looking forward to playing!

Flourgirl not just me who got it everywhere! Only problem is that we have a nice silver spray on the wheelie bin! But there is also a nice butterfly in green lol

Oh meant to say I've bought a shimmer spray from joanna sheen but think it is faulty as it doesn't spray properly will upload picture of my first ever wedding card tomorrow so you can see what I mean
