Thanks for your lovely comments everyone

Debbie, I'm not exactly sure what hybrid is, I 'think' it's a mix of digital products and normal cardmaking stash, but hopefully someone will put us right! As for the images I used on the two Christmas cards, yes they are purchased graphics from Pink Petticoat. I don't know if I am allowed to post the link, but if you Google the name it will come up. You pay and download tthe graphics then print them to colour in. I believe there is a fixing spray made by Ghiant that you can use to stop your printing ink smudging when watercolouring. I discovered a fabby printer, a cheapo Espson one - I use it to print my Pink Petticoat images as the ink is waterproof and I can watercolour without any smudging.

Mind you, I do love my rubber stamps too!

I've got an epson - is all their ink waterproof?
I have looked at the PP website before & they have some gorgeous images, might pop over for a browse

Debbie, I have an Epson Stylus D92 which takes the Epson TO711 DURABright ink cartridges - I set it to use the black cartridge only and it definitely is waterproof. There is more info about the DURABright inks on the Epson website.

Hope that helps,

I usually two pieces of ribbon together like you would shoelaces (but in a knot) or attach a length of ribbon and tie a second length of ribbon around it.

Here I attached one piece of ribbon, took a second piece tied it in a knot and then used a sticky dot to attach it onto the top of the first piece. The most simple way.

I did it this way because it was puckering where I had attached it if I tied the ribbon around the first piece. It also meant I could direct my ends 'artfully' over the white square.

If any of this makes any sense

I hope it helps...

Monica as always your cards are fab
