Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

dawnteabag

Just a(nother) quickie from me to say a huge thanks to Nici - my parcel arrived today and is stashtastic! Especially loving the stamped images - i want to get my coluring stuff out right now but "& son" is playing rugby tonight (his team are the half time entertainment at the Sheffield Eagles Match) so have to go out and leave my lovely goodies behif,
Myabe I shoudl take them with me and sit in the stands with my promarkers amongst the rugby boys. Might be more fun - I'm not a fan of rugby leage - I'm a union girl at heart!

Choccy I have notebook that I write down challenges in then I can flick through to see what I can make to fit which challenges IYKWIM - sometimes I make the card first and then see what's around but usually a challenge will give me an idea and I do it that way. I have a separate book full of sketch challenges.

If you follow enough you'll notice that the themes seem to come in pairs or even in 3s - lots of distressed and a couple of no patterned papers about at the mo.

Rusty I think you deserve a moan after all you have been through

Well I have 5 cards on the go, and haven't finished any of them :rotfl:will try and finish and blog them tomorrow, spent most of the day deciding on which papers to use.

Have replugged the freezer in, just need to find the energy tomorrow and restock it, at least some of the food was used at the weekend on BBQ's so wasn't as bad as it could have been

Tired Mom thanks for the flower tutorial, never made hand made flowers before.... scary

Oooh good idea, i will have to try that in a book. Thanks for sharing Padster. It will help me sooo much I will have to have a look around and see if i can find any others to enter it into

At the moment ive tried to make sure i do the challenges from this threads DT gals and my DT teamies.But now i am wanting to do more challenges as i think they are fun.

You really don't want to know the answer to that one:) it leads to ££££ worth of Promarkers becoming essential :rotfl::rotfl:

However if you insist we take stamped images and colour them and use them as embellishments on our craft projects.
check any of our blogs and you will see the results but be warned I only have 47 colours some people (naming no names) have the whole 150+

That's a very expensive question :rotfl:

Most of the peeps on here use Promarkers, I think a few use other pens but most use promakers. The images are either digi stamps (printed off computer) or ones that have been stamped with ink pads.

Not sure that that is very clear, sorry.
