I use copic marker + colour pencil.
The background I use distress ink and the application tool. It does take me 2nd time to get it. The first attempt is wasted la

I start with Memories Dye ink pad (black)
And a couple Color Box pigment ink pad. These are good for embossing as well. So I only need clear embossing powder. With embossing powder...then I need heat gun. Both Memories Dye Ink and colour box pigment ink are able to clean by water (if you clean immediately), so no need to have ink cleaner (yet)
Of course, a couple rubber stamp (or clear stamps) to play with.

More advance....then you probably want to have cuttlebug or big shot machine....embossing folder etc.

Great tip! Taking picture under natural light is the key! It makes the card (or food or any product) looks really professional!
However, I often make the card at night and I won't wait until day time to take picture. So most of my card pictures don't look as nice. Just that last time I turn on my halogen floor lamp (my fluorescent table lamp is not working any more), and then my picture seems to be better! Totally unexpected! Sometimes I adjust the picture in Picasa (it's free). It does improve the quality a little bit.

Rainy:
This is the first time I ship my online order to Point Roberts. (I rarely shop online before...) Just register with The Letter Carrier
When they receive the package they will give you a call (or email you). Storage fee is pretty cheap. On the way back can also shop some grocery/ice cream in the Point Roberts supermarkets...
I bought stamping stuff on http://www.stampintreasures.com/
If you prefer to ship to Canada they are the best because they ship with USPS. Don't need to worry about brokeage fee...

I found Memento Black Ink works better on clear stamp. For rubber stamp, Memory Dye ink works ok, but Versa Fine works even better, just that it's a bit hard to clean.
