I have just got to share this, my daughter has made me a lovely birthday card last night, http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopo...144278&cat=500
Or its in my gallery if the link doesn't work. She is only 10 bless her and she is just sooooo loving these stamps. So I am making her up her own little stash for Xmas. I am amazed at how she put it all together with no help at all from an adult. Usually I have to do the cutting. OK she has given my age away,

Here's a quick one I have made tonight using my sugar which came today!! She is one of the stamps in the club kit.
Edit - since taking the photo I have added some faux stitching around the image and card, will update photo tomorrow.

Awe they are gorgeous, I have the kit coming too, fingers crossed today when I have mugged the postman Can I ask what do you stamp onto? I have been using a textured card but your looks like bockingford card/paper, well I think that is what its called could be wrong. Could you please tell me. Thanks.

Thanks for your comments Peggie, Melanie and Fae!
Melanie, I know what you mean about it looking like Bockingford card but it is just textured card from my local paper mill! HTH

Here is another card using the sweet winter nellie from the club kit, I coloured her in browns to try and get a vintage feel. The thank-you card is yesterdays card but I have now added some faux stitching as I felt it needed something else!!

These are all lovely

Can I ask some advice as I'm new to this. I dont seem to be able to get any shading on my images. Is it because they're stamped on card and not watercolour paper?

yummie cards jen

hazel, i use card with the stamps and shading works. try doing the first layer lightly and then adding shading on top. or you can do the "edge" technique that the sweedish and dutch and other magnolia/hanglar girlies use.... you colour inside the outline and then draw the colour into the middle.

Here is my first Maggie card, lighting's not too great as it was taken at night. I cheated and used a star brad for the end of her stick rather than stamp out 1 of her accessories. Got myself some Prismacolor pencils recently and am loving them, still not perfected the art of shading but love the smooth finish you get with these pencils.

Gorgeous cards ladies. My kit and stamps arrived yesterday, they are Christmas presents though and I had to hand them over to be wrapped. I quickly cut them out and stamped some images though, so that I can play before Christmas hopefully.
