Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

September 19, 2016

Making Stripes ...

Hi Everybody,

Do you sometimes struggle to find papers that will match your images?
 Here is an easy way to create that background that will always blend with your design because you can use the same colours that you used to colour the image in the first place.
Let the video show you how I coloured my card for a really pretty finish.



This is a video that was made a long time ago so my apologies for the quality of it.
Both my "Film Crew" and I have made lots of improvements through the years, as we have learned new things.
Hopefully you will enjoy the videos even more.

Even though this is an old video the idea remains the same and can be useful to help you make the cards that you like to create. 

You may be a seasoned card maker and have done this type of thing regularly please  remember that new people visit my blog every day and to them it is something that they may have never seen and would like to try for them selves.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
