[Truly]

I must start using my Pilkington Lane stamps again. I bought a lot in the early days of stamping and always struggled a bit with them.

I have quite a few too CC! Like you I would really like to do something with them - such a waste if not cos they're really nice stamps xx

Truly, I thought I might try just stamping on really smooth card, then do a die cut shape. A bit of distress ink and it wouldn't need a whole lot more.

Your card samples were beautiful Lynne. Loved the background, I had forgotten all about the shaving foam technique. Will have to give it another go.

I have never used Theuva card. I tend to use craftwork cards digital cardstock for most stuff. Do you think Theuva card is much different? Do I need it, or can I manage with what I have got?

I've got some Clarity Card that I tried it out on some time ago using distress ink and it came out rather well. I like the idea of a die cut shape and you're right, it wouldn't need much more would? Good thing about Clarity card is that if I mess up one side I can turn it over! Actually that's true for all card isn't it? DOH!! xx

I've never used craftwork cards digital cardstock so I'm afraid can't compare the two, Budgie. Theuva is a nice smooth card that is great for stamping on but any card will do. In the DVD Dawn said you could even use coated card but I haven't tried that yet. I want to have a go on some coated Clarity card and see what it looks like.
