I make cards too Celia though they've taken a back seat to the jewellery recently...
My favourite persons stampsetc are Tim Holts, love his grunge boards and distressed ink pads
I often use parts of his stamps in my precious metal clay work so can justify buying more, lol
The card & stamping stuff have also been out again for some recent mixed media work ~
(Marchs' design challenge was to try new things and I loved the possibilities with mixed media and rivets)
Want to try some of Tims Design stamps with polymer clay too ~
Isn't it great that as makers we're often inspired by trying new crafts?

I don't own any of Tim Holts merchandise Nic, although I shall have to track his wares down now. I am also rather fond of Stephanie Weightman though. Once I start dabbling in PMC I shall of course try using some of my existing stamps.
I wonder too if the jewellery bug will end up taking over my life. The last time I was this excited was the day I discovered embossing. Speaking of which it is my first silver class tomorrow and I must say that I am rather apprehensive and a just a tad nervous but I am equally excited too.
Good luck for tomorrow Celia - you'll have to let us know how you get on

Nic, I had never even heard of Tim Holtz until today and I have fallen in love with his inks, pads and stamps. I can see myself importing all sorts now, thank you so much for the links, his work is inspirational.
In a few hours time I shall be attending my first lesson. I am going prepared with an apron, notepad and pencils as advised when I enrolled. I am equally nervous and excited. I don't get out much to be honest so it is a huge step for me and I also have mild dexterity problems which I am hoping will not hamper my learning.
I shall share my experiences when I return home late this evening.
Good luck Celia - I'm sure you'll have an inspirational time
