For You... Wolf Card Challenge No. 3 - Easel Card

By -


Hi Craft Addicts!

For You - Moonlight Wolf Easel 6" Card (inside)
Well here it is! Number 3 card - this time I have chosen to make it an easel one.

Again I have used one of the 6" x 6" card and envelope in the kit, the "Sending you a message with love sentiment and black card from the Moonlight kit.(See below for more details)

  • I first of all turned the card to make it "tent fold" and then scored the front of the card in the middle and folded it back in on itself and then opened it again - this creates an "easel" card which I thought would make it more interesting.
  • I then cut 2 equal pieces of the Autumn Leaves paper (14x7cm) and glued them to the two sections of the card front.
  • I then added the topper to the black card (which I had already die cut using the Celtic Dream Layering die set) making sure it was in the centre of the design.
  • After it was dry I then added some Collall All Purpose Glue to the bottom half leaving the top half clear and then placed it on the bottom half of the "easel" - making sure that it didn't overlap either edge of the card.
  • Once I was happy with where it was, I coloured in the two Ivy flourishes using the Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers TN4 and DG2 and once I was happy with them     
  • I added them to the left hand side of the topper and then took 2 "For You" sentiments (one in black and one in gold) and offset the gold one so that it looked like there was a shadow and attached it to the bottom right hand corner.
  • Leave the card to dry, 
  • I then added the sentiment to a circle of black and then one of cream cardstock - the latter being slightly scalloped so it gives it a bit of interest.
  • You then decide as to where you would like it to be so that the easel stands up properly - and then use a couple of foam pads to attach it so it gives some height to it.

And there you are... Card number 3 - Once again I hope you like it!

Mother's Day flowers card

Mother's Day flowers card Hi Craft addicts! I really love using Tim Holtz's Distress Crayons and so I made this card with one of the designs I created. How I made this card:- I used Tim Holtz Ranger Yupo paper as the base for the flower design - I used his Orange, Yellow, Red and Brown Distress Crayons - just added a few flicks of colour to the paper and then quickly used my finger to spread it a bit...  I repeated the process several times, changing the size of the flowers slightly. Once I was happy with them, I then used a damp waterbrush to fade the colours out a bit. I also used some of the Ranger Blue and Green Distress Crayons to add a faded background to it. I trimmed the panel so it measured 3" x 4.5" and edged it with a Black alcohol marker. I then glued it to some Kraft card (American Crafts as it has a linen effect to it) and cut it so there was a slightly wider border around it. I attached the whole panel to the front of a 5"...

With Love Abstract flower in pink, black and white on hand coloured flowery background square card Hi Craft Addicts! Today's card is a result of using a background I have created myself using Tim Holtz Distress Crayons along with dies from Toni Darroch's Stamps by Me. How I made this card:- I had been playing with some Tim Holtz Distress Crayons to make the flowery background (it measures approx 5" square as the card itself is a 6" one - to do it, I used Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry, experimenting with the "strokes"  I used - it took a bit of time to get the effect right - I used normal stamping paper this time rather than Yupo as it gives a totally different effect. I also used a paintbrush and some water to blend them in even more. Once I was happy with what I had done, I then added some green alcohol marker to create the stalks and some faded blue and yellow spots dotted around the pattern. I then edged it with a black alcohol marker. ...

Happy Birthday - Meerkat on desert background 7x5in card - Day 110 of my 365 day challenge

Happy Birthday - Meerkat on desert background 7x5in card -  Day 110 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! I really enjoyed making this Birthday card - especially colouring in the background which I am pleased with how it turned out. How I made this card:- I had previously cut out a few of the Meerkats (a Tattered Lace die) using various cardstocks and thought that this Kraft card one would work well on a desert background. I therefore cut a piece of smooth white card to 110x145mm approximately and started to colour it in. I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks to do this-  Tea Dye, Dried Marigold and Rusty Hinge are the main ones used - making it darker at both the top and the bottom. I also added a hint of green to the centre of the panel. I then cut out the oval label panel in the middle of it (I think it was either a Tonic Studios or Tattered Lace die) - I also cut a similar panel using a darker Kraft cardstock. I stuck the large layer on to the fro...
