Yeah its the flower soft makes it look and feel like a chenille scarf.

Everytime I see some of that stuff I have an urge to buy it - now I know what I can do with it!

My theory with all the stuff I have is think outside the box and then it will be more useful. First time I used the stuff even though it was in the draw for awhile.

Hi Donna, I'd love to know how to colour in using the distress inks, have you got a small 'tutorial' or a few 'steps' to get me going?
Thanks.

It's lovely Karon, has to be one of my favourites, the colours are lovely.

mariana. i just stamped using the distress ink pad. then used my waterbrush to take colour from the stamped image and move it towards the centre and added a bit more ink onto my waterbrush to add shading where needed. it was pretty quick to do and looks quite effective. i'm still practising with lots of things....
karon. love your calendar, think this might be a project for later in the year.

Thanks Donna, I'll get myself some Distress inks and have a go at it, they look fab!

Calendar will be something for 2009 for me, I didn't want to look like a copycat

Thanks for the nice comments ladies. Just need to pluck up the courage to bind it with my BIA now. Oh yes, and do a page for December of course (my last one).

Next year I'll use the same range of stamps for every month, so I can put all the pages in one thread.....

Thought I'd better start making some of my coloured images into cards!!
Here are a couple of quick ones I have made this morning, working on a couple of girly ones now!
