Well Hello, I often ask myself this question, the answer though isn't always the same. I gravitate to the idea of clean and simple, less is more but this can prove tricky. So over the last few weeks, I've looked at all my cards and placed them in different piles. Good and Not so Good.( what is pleasing to the eye to me) This has helped me work out what my style is.

Well Hello There, Sometimes we think we have to every coloured card stock under the rainbow, but today i want to show you a beautiful technique which blows that out of the park. I have simply used Neenah Cardstock 110lb to create the die cuts and a blending brush and my inkpads. I love the soft look it adds to a design.

Good Morning / Afternoon or Maybe Evening. Welcome A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog on using your Distress Inks to water colour with, and how easy the result were. I fell in love with the technique and have many more examples planned. I decided to change my water paper as Bristol (Strathmore) can work out expensive and many of you including me have far more standard water colour paper. I didn't expect any real difference, but I was very wrong! Here's both card projects. The top is on standard water colour paper smooth side and the bottom Bristol Smooth. When working on...
