Hello all :j
Sorry not had time to catch up on all your blogs and stuff........only just logged on !!
Need to pick your brains for a good web site for flowers, the flattish sort to decorate my scrapbooks with. Our craft shop had abysmal selection this morning...........also need some little tiny ones to stick in the middle of the bigger ones if you know what I mean. Then I can finally put the scrapbooks to bed !!!

Hi everyone, saw it mentioned in a previous post, but why shoud'nt you use promakers with stazon ink?

Stazon will bleed with promarkers it can also discolour the nib on the lighter colours.

I'm not sure if this has been asked before but can you use promarkers on acrylic stamps???

Do you mean instead of ink if so I don't think so sure someone else will be along in a minute who knows

Mary I have used this one before they have a good selection of sizes and colours and postage is reasonable.

Dragonllew - yes thats what I mean its just I have a stamp that I wanted to use like a sepia colour on and obviously with a stash ban and cranky oh I cant buy one at the mo and wondered if I could use a brown pro marker on it??

Ali - I think it would dry too fast and stain the stamp. It's brushmakers that you can use on stamps.

Thanks Dragonllew. That link was amazing. I love that ribbon she made. I wouldn't have thought it would have worked either with them being permanent marker, but there you go. You learn something new everyday.

Another question please (I'm always asking questions:o)
I bought my first papers at the weekend and now want to buy some flowers but how do I match the colours? Are the colour you see online quite realistic to actual colours?

can't really help with that one as I usually buy white flowers and then colour with my promarkers. If I buy coloured ones I usually by a pack that has a mixture of colours or a mix of different shades of one colour.
