Check a Scrapbooking store for colored card stock. It's difficult to find good quality card stock, though. Places like Walmart, etc, used to have it, but in a package and it wasn't high quality. I believe interest in card making and paper scrapping is waning, which is making it difficult to find supplies. At least in a scrapbooking store you can buy individual sheets, even if you can't get the rigidity that makes a good quality card. If you find something you like, buy a bunch. Don't expect it to still be there at a later date. Janice, I completely agree with you. It used to be easy to find a variety of card stock with different finishes, including linen or flocked-looking, with matching envelopes. They all seem to have disappeared. What I receive from other people are mostly the one page cheap looking oversized postcards that professional printers are offering.
Love the Christmas cards you made, but I don't know if I would have the patience for that sort of thing.

Thanks. It actually, doesn't take all that long to make a card - especially when you don't try and cut out all the individual pieces and glue them - like real paper scrappers do. If you do any digital scrapbooking, card making like this is the same process. That's also why I keep my cutting to a rectangular piece that I glue onto the cardstock. I just want it to be easy to do, so I don't lose interest during the process.

I'm curious about what kind of picture you would want to print, Tiramisu. It's a fashion illustration Madame. |

Tiramisu, what kind of colors? I downloaded a fashion picture from Morguefile and used the blending mode overlay on a brown background. I think maybe that will illustrate how the outcome would be. The wall is blue.  |
