Hi!
I love these tutorials you make available to us! But I was wondering if I would be allowed to share with my SU Customers by posting the links to my Blog? I did have a few from before but I just want to make sure it's permitted?
Thanks!

This tutorial originally published in 2008 without a video! We're adding the video for our visual learners, and wanted to honor the original author by preserving her content too. Thanks for watching!

Glad you are honoring Beate's original. Whatever happened to Beate Johns?

I too was a bit confused by differing images and also wondered why the author didn't use the lifted images to make another background? She could have made a nice background using the stamp-offs. I like the images used over the top of the background created -where did they come from please?

janetannc that's a great idea! I thought of it later (of course!) and was also racing a dying camera battery. wink Card info is in the gallery entries and also posted with the samples in the video.
