Nothing new in the way of creativity here today ... but I have got a few questions from you guys ... so I thought I would try and be a bit more organised than usual ... and actually answer them!
First few questions were about Wednesday's tag:
"Is it me or is it really a hooooooge tag?"
It is not you ... the tag is the size of a postcard and has beautiful postcard detail on the back too! Approximate size is 6" by 4"
"Love the tag size ... it's great for books - Where did you get them from?"
I got them from here ... they are not currently on the web site ... but if you ring and ask the Wonderful Lin or the Lovely Karen ... they will sort you out!
The next questions are from yesterday's post:
"How do you achieve such intense colours with your Grunge paper?
Basically ... I always stamp ... then cut out and then colour! I always stamp on the soft side ... not the textured side. I cut out my embellishments and then I colour them! I prefer to use R
"What die did you use for those leaves?"
That aint a die ... it is a Studio 490 Wendy Vecchi stamp and comes on plate LCS015; Dimensional Rose Art! Everyone should have that leaf stamp ... it is the best ever!
Well ... there you go ... let me know if these were useful ... pretty please ... obviously if I get no comments at all ... well I will have to think of a more interesting way to answer the questions :0)
If you want to know more about me ... you know ... if you don't know enough already ... or even too much ... well I have done an interview for a fab new site here.
I need to away ... still nurse maiding here ...
Laters!

Ooooh! look at you, interviews and everything. Did you see on Wendy Vecchi's blog she refered to THE Linda Elbourne? lol
Ohhh just over for a blog nosey and love the Q and a and the interview is great. Love all you do, Hazelxo
Do both sides? Will I die if I don't? I had no idea! Erm, how much ink??? I'm sorry, just playing devil's advocate. Interviewed huh - must go check you didn't lie and pretend to be me. Oh and congrats!

Love you hints and tips - keep them coming.
Brilliant tips - absolutely fabby, I'll be trying them out when I next drag my humungous collection of distress Inks out, honestly it takes me an age just to do that and I may even go the whole hog and get all 5 out at the same time. What a rebel eh? *g*
Loved the interview Linda - can we ever know to much about you? Methinks not. Give us MORE. MORE I say.
Lots of love,
A dedicated stalker xxx

Very very useful Linda - especially the bit about getting the vibrant colour on manky-grey grungie! Mind u=you, I'm not sure I've got the energy for all that rubbing it in stuff - can't you come up with an easier way, hun? hehe
Great interview. I have been and checked classes you do but they are all full at the moment. When will the next lot be posted please?
I can get to jnt 14 easily (well traffic permitting) so would love to come and see you.
