My first Tea bag card using Steve's plaid papers, the folding on the tea bag is a bit uneven must practise more
 Steve the plaid pattern on the teabag is smaller than the one you scanned in, I reduced the size for a smaller teabag and I really like these papers so a big thank you from me   I was running out of ink too  Eileen

so much, Eileen
 Your card looks wonderful I do tend to go for a slightly larger size so that they can be shrunk down but don't lose quality so quickly if you want large tiles
 May I put it on my Photobucket with cards made using the sheets and such that I've made please?
If you're short of ink, girls, don't forget that http://www.hornetcs.co.uk/ are excellent in price and speed Also, if you want paler versions, changing your printer settings to "Draft" quality will do that as well as saving on ink Steve

Beautiful card Eileen, very effective. That's the trouble with printing your own backing sheets isn't it, it uses so much ink? I would have trouble with that because i have an all in one cartridge and certain colours would run out way before the others would, making printing to true colours difficult after a time? I must take that into account when i next buy a printer. ( an epsom me thinks with photo card reader too). Hugs Poppy |

Eileen Poppy, Epson usually do work out much cheaper as the cartridges (compatibles of course) are much lower prices thanks to the volumes they make You can get little Epsons that are perfect for this kind of thing for about £25 so they're not too expensive to have as a secondary printer either
Of course, if you must have a card reader built in then the price will be higher

A lovely card Willow using Steve's tiles. How did you do the white backing? I love the lacy edging.

Thank you Jo and Virginia. Jo I have a Fiskars border punch that I used for the edges of this card, lined it up underneath the punch first then checked it was still lined up on top and punched along the edge of the card. Eileenx |
