I love your fisherman card. Where did you get the fabric from. It will be gorgeous on a card for my Dad.

Thankyou Yve,
I've had that mesh stuff for a while.. no idea where I bought it from but I think it is called sinamay? Maybe a post in the Shop till you Drop forum will help you locate some. It's a bit tricky to work with as it's a bit brittle and impossible to stick down on the front of a card - so I cut it slightly longer and used double sided tape at the back of the paper, then used two brads to stop it sliding about! I've also used it on cards for gardening friends, tied in place with raffia it looks quite good!

Hi Tillymint, I think your cards are fab. Just had a look on your blog and it's great. Really like that scallped edge card which is tied at one side with ribbon. I was wondering how you did the scalloped edges. I'd really like to try this if I can find out. Thanks. Chris

Thankyou for your kind words Chris
The scalloped edges on that card were just cut with a pair of scissors with a scallop blade. They are only cheap ones, I think I only paid about £1.99 for them at the big H'craft store.
Hope that helps
