Ideas for card craft beginner

Thanks Polly.

I made it with my son in mind (he's music mad) and stuck a piece of silver patterned card onto ordinary white card. The music, record and musician images I printed from the internet and I'd got a bottle top sticker (last one in a pack I got last year) and stuck that at the top.

Thanks for that link Mary, I'm always amazed at the sheer amount of gizmos and materials that the americans have to do their scrapbooking and cardmaking with, they must spend an absolute fortune on craftmaking!

Liking your cards mumoftwo and mary, poker and music are great visual subjects to work with. Like the retro style of yours mary, and the swirly holographic paper fits the theme perfectly. The message on yours is also very clever mumoftwo and the card is a great design.

Anybody else going to show us theirs today?

Okay, I finally finished my card, I'm not sure I like it, but at least I've got a male card, (my box is filled with women's cards and nothing for men). Sorry about the bad quality photo!!!!

Thanks for all your kind comments. It was just a bought decoupage sheet,(I'm not as clever as everyone else printing them off), then it was just mounted on card, (I wish I'd had some vintage background papers). The ribbon at the sides was from the netto (quite cheap), and I just put 4 square brads on top of the ribbon.
