Lou,I used the white texture on last line of texture samples, far left. You still need a good light to cut round it though and some bits were a bit different
from the picture! I haven't been successful with getting whole thing together. Some of the printing out had white lines and some misprinted bits. And then
panda's hands had to go under the dress so it looked like I was going to have to line it to hide the tape AND envelope was going to be a problem cos I
couldn't put the head any lower on the body or panda looked seriously deformed! Couldn't be bothered so I used the head on an A6 card and that looked
fine! Suspect I'll use the heads only (just print out sheet 2) for some cards. Might try again when I've finished my Marie Curie Cards or feel suitable
inspired.

Lou,
I have done the cow and its picture is on another thread. I havent had anything mis printed as Jenny said she has. Basically the white does not print out but the rest of the sheet has a pale grey cris cross grid on it. If you look in good light you can see where the grid ends - which is where the edge of the shape it. When I did the cow I drew around the shape in pencil to make it easier to cut out and it worked fine. Once cut out - it is the same to assemble as the rest of them. I have got a problem with envelopes as the finished cards are about 1" longer than the envelopes I use for A5 cards. Although I have got the bee & ladybug to fit as I lowered the head. Cant do it with any of the others that I have made so far. My next task will be to make envelopes to fit them. Once I am successful I will let you know the size. It will definately need to be made from A3 card. I have a pad of cheap watercolour paper which I got from the £1 shop so they will not cost much to do. Sarah xxx |

Lou,
I have done it with a black marker. I just copies the animal as it came down the catwalk. I think it makes a huge difference to the finish. Sarah xxx |
