My First Waterfall Card!

Evening everyone! It's not been too bad today, has it? No one got abducted by Aliens or fell down a well? Apart from a Rook flying off with one of me coconuts all's been quiet here too. We were going to pop out and see the local carnival but then thought, is it worth it for two floats, a dancing band and a juggling dog? Is it just down here in Southern England or is it happening throughout the whole Country? Carnival's 'ain't wot they used to be!' Something to do with Health and Safety so I'm told. Not allowed to do hardly anything anymore, no custard pie throwing and definitely no water fights, 'case someone gets... wet! And talking of water...(which I wasn't) here is the waterfall card I promised yesterday! And why is it called a Waterfall Card?? I haven't a clue! Maybe because it 'flows'!
It's printed on the same paper as Ben 10 (scroll down all those of you who didn't blog in yesterday) so it has a nice soft satin finish to it...Hang on, I'll just get out my megaphone (The movie guy's gone home) Stand back all those of you with a weak disposition...the paper is called...

"Instant Dry Photo Satin Double Sided Paper 120gsm Brochure Paper."

...which was sent to me by PhotoPaper (Links no longer apply) .I have some magnet card and a few Double Sided Gloss/Matt Greeting cards too...more about them on another post.
This is my very first Water Card. I'm quite pleased with it. The little thinkgy pulls up and down to reveal a cute little teddy playing in his train! I've left enough room to fix a name on later and the little number tag comes off so I can change the age if I need to! Pretty sure there was a pink one too! Where? Oh...I don't think I'll tell you, I'm feeling mean!! Oh all right then...Free download for the waterfall card is on my sidebar (been there for ages) but for all those who don't read any of this you can click here  Links may no longer work.
Now there's something else on my side bar that wasn't there yesterday...a new blinkie. I wonder if anyone's spotted it? I'll blow my own horn about that later, right that's it...

Ben 10 Printed on Photo Satin Paper.

What paper do you use for your card making? Do you print straight on to card? Do you buy that really thin stuff that sucks up all your ink but still doesn't give you a nice crisp image? I had an email last week, luckily my spammer didn't chew it up and eat it! It was from a paper company. PhotoPaper Direct (sorry links now closed)

(Ohoo) I've had emails before, asking, 'would I like to advertise our Chinese laundry, or would I advertise their adventure holidays in Baghdad and another one from a travel agent in Singapore... Most don't get through but the ones that do I usually ponder over for a few seconds, let the little grey brain cells spin for a minute or two and then press the red button and the email vanishes for ever. But Paper? Card? That's like the carrot to the donkey, the peanut to the monkey~ the cheese to the mouse!! The sugar frosting on the cherry on the chocolate cake!!! If you could see the state of my Craft room right now, you'd say I had a serious paper addiction! So, this lovely paper company sent me some lovely samples. Right thought me. Let's put this paper to the test! I've made a couple of Ben 10's. My very first waterfall card and another shaker card. This is Ben 10. (Link to him on my sidebar) And he has been printed on this super smooth (hang on a mo, just get the guy who advertises the movies to say it in his very deep voice..)

"Instant Dry Photo Satin Double Sided Paper 120gsm Brochure paper.." (show off!) So it's brilliant for anything you want to print. I have tried buying this before. I've asked the puzzled assistant (as he's backed away from the counter) that I don't want the paper I want the paper the paper is wrapped in. So I've printed out Ben 10 on this Satin Paper, love it! (How'd you like my screw-like brads, huh?) And you can print on both sides with no fear of the darker colour coming through and... see the Ben 10 sign in the corner? That was white. I coloured it using my green ProMaker Pen and there was no bleed through and, I've even decoupaged Ben to make him stand out a bit more. So where is this Paper Company? Timbuktu? No! And, at the moment they have a BIG sale on and not just on paper. They do all sorts, apart from Photo Paper, Fine Art Paper, and Inks, there's Transfer paper, for printing onto Tshirts and other clothing. Magnetic paper. I've got some of that! Plug in Digital Memory storage thingamajigs, and with my small brain, I could definitely do with some of that! I also have some smooth pre-folded card and when I've finished playing, I'll let you see what I've done.
Right, tomorrow I'll either put on the Waterfall Card or another Ben 10 or a Tinker 'Paws for Thought' which I downloaded from the Tinker Shop. They've all been printed on this Satin paper! You choose...here's a peek...
