Fabby cards Marlene and Lady Jane - I wish I had more stamps - and more time!!
I know the feeling - I went for the record on the last card - I think I used seven of my own stamps and one image that somebody else was kind enough to stamp for me!
That quite possibly makes it the most expensive card I've ever made!:lol::lol:
Actually that's not funny at all.:wacko:
I hope your friend liked it - its stunning - I wouldn't have wanted to give it away!
She did - she loved it and I know her, she won't throw it away (I try not to think about that happening to my cards!), she'll treasure it.
She doesn't do anything remotely crafty herself and is so lovely about everything that I make for her and is such a wonderful friend that she is well worth the effort.
Fantastic card Lady Jayne
I use watercolour paints - I use a sandy beigy colour (cant recall the actual names of the paint blocks) mixed with a tiny bit of red to make a fleshy colour - and yes - well watered down to make it pale enough - but dab a bit of colour on - dab your brush onto kitchen roll and then spread out the paint on the image with the slightly dryer brush - then add a deeper tint for the cheeks and shading. HTH
Remember - with water colour paints it is slightly different to prismas etc - you dont add dark colour and then tone down - you should start with pale colour and build up ;)
I bought a cheap set of watercolour pencils in WHSmiths - and it has the perfect flesh coloured pencil in there that I use.
Fabby cards just adore the baby ones and Jayne your card is beautiful.
I'm the same never have enough time for my cardmaking.
I've got Derwent crayons (36 set though have bought a few extra) and use have a flesh colour in there which is perfect for the face and hands.
Lovely card lady jane.
Lady Jane that is a beautiful card, so inspiring. I have the sign and fence and haven't used them yet but this has spurred me on!!
Look what are on their way to me as we speak - I cannot wait to get my hands on these little beauties!! The new ones are on order too and should follow shortly, soooooo cute :)
