Day 4 of my 366 day card challenge - Let's Celebrate square card...
Hi Craft Addicts!

 So here is my latest card in my 366 day  card challenge - only 362 to go... This time I am using toppers from the most recent Hunkydory collections - I really think the colours are so vibrant even when the main colour is black! It is also very simple to make...

Hope you have a fabulous Time square card
Again this is one of the cards from the Craftwork Cards embossed card collection (this time with the daisy floral section). I first of all used a narrow strip of Red Liner Ultra strong tape to add some black Tonic Studios Nuvo glitter to separate it from the plain part of the card. and then glued the Cocktail glass (floral) square topper across both sections of the front of the card and then added a smaller round cocktail topper to the bottom right hand corner using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue.

I then used the "Hope you have a fabulous time" sentiment along the bottom of the card.

To brighten it up a bit more I used some of the purp[e Crafter's Companion Easy Crystal for Arts and Crafts in some of the centre of the flowers - I love these, they are easy to use but the only downside is that they run out really quickly!

 And there you are, another quick and easy but I think stylish card suitable for all occasions that you want to say have a good time!

This will be available for sale on my website as a one-off shortly...

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...
