It doesn't matter how careful I am with them, I still find they bleed a little,
but they are so much fun to use.
I felt like a kid again - trying to keep in the lines :-)
I think I got so used to not having my DPs, when they were boxed away, that I've forgotten how to use them.
I tried this card with just about every Christmas paper I have, and nothing seemed to look right.
My brain is stuck in CAS mode!!!
This is one of my new, cute Elf images from Make it Crafty... just perfect for 'boy' cards.
I can't wait to use the others - watch this space :-)

This is just fantastic Caroline and a good job with the colouring. I find all my pens bleed no matter how careful I am. Must be me or the card. Hope you had a good weekend

Beautiful card Caroline, your colouring is amazing and always so perfick. I love the plain red background, it's a fabulous backdrop for such a cool image.
ReplyDeleteI did make the card base myself for my baby shower card and it's 7" tall x 5" wide. I cut them from A3 hammered card stock from the Papermill and you get two card bases per sheet. I also found it easier to find envelopes on Ebay for this size card :) x
Oh your colouring is fabulous Caroline! Love the cute image and your fab design :o) Hugs, Lisa x
ReplyDeleteHI sweetie this is just gorgeous I love it, huggles Pops x x x
