Nicola - your card is gorgeous.  What a fantastic stamp to have - mind you it helps that you are fantastic with your watercolours!  Did you have the stamp made from a photo?

2belle - your work is lovely too.  Well done for figuring out how to post photos

Oh dear, best thing to try getting used to them, if you are colouring a stamped image like mine, use stazon and leave it to dry thoroughly, then sqribble with a whispers pen on an acrylic block or a piece of packaging and add water with a paint brush, then just add it to your image like paint.
Not all card lets the colour bleed when wet, you will just get a pen line, so that is a good way to add the colour, if the card bleeds the colour when wet you can add the darker colour ontop, when the initial colour has dried, the pens wont work on wet, if you tried to colour on a wet piece of card, they just dont comeout,then you need to let the pen rest, to re absorb its ink,with the lid on ofcourse.Try that give me a shout if you still get stuck, tell me what your having problems with,it could just be the card, glossy photo paper is fantastic for this effect!!Have put a pic on of using the pens on cheap pound shop gloss photo paper.xxx

I made this using my most favourite stamp, its the spitting image of my eldest daughter when she was little.
I watercoloured the image and wrote the greeting.xx

Wow, wow, wow Nicola. I loved the other one but that is simply divine, well done. Georgeous apinting and colours wink

Beautiful card Nicola ... I love the artwork.

hi’ all thanks nicola for all the help today I went away for wee while to get over panic but I’m getting there. thanks to everyone for all your lovely comments. when you craft on your own all the time feedback is such a boost. lol2bellexxx

2belle ... your cards are also stunning. 
I used to think crafting was pretty much a solitary hobby until I joined here and one thing this forum is definitely not lacking in is encouragement.  I hope you will continue to show off your lovely projects ‘cos we will all enjoy looking at them.

Luv’n’Stuff
