More white work to show you. 

I hope you are being inspired to give it a go :-)

White work - Janet Wilson patterns

White work is what it says; work with no colour!

Here are some of my white work cards.

These have coloured inserts:

My favourite tuition guides

If you want to buy some resources, these are my recommendations:

A)  Janet Wilson's book - piccie below.
I found this most helpful. Good clear instructions with pictures. Simple patterns to start with. Lots of different techniques shown.
I go back to it again and again.

B) Christine Coleman's tuition DVDs.

Excellent guides. She takes you through each pattern, introducing new techniques. Clear instructions. And of course you can watch again and again. This is her website

Free resources

Now you've mastered basic embossing, I'm sure you'll want to make your first card.
I'm going to give you links to free patterns.

You don't have to make all of the pattern. Choose bits you like to practise.
Have a go and if you get stuck give me an email on ambacrafts@aol.com.

Good luck and keep practising :-)

P.S. Don't forget your library!
