Just for you - girl in silhouette shaped pink card - 
Day 84 of my 366 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

So for today's blog, I have again used the toppers and cards from the "Shadows and Silhouettes" card making kit from Kanban.

Just for you - girl in silhouette shaped pink card
I first of all decided to use one of the pink shaped cards provided in the kit which is approximately 7.5" x 5.5" and one of the larger "girl" toppers. I also used one of the embossed/patterned backing papers provided in the kit too and after gluing it to the topper cut round it following the shape.

I then glued 3 flowers (2 paper and 1 resin) to the right hand side of the card and a strip of pink ribbon (with a pink button) to the left using my hot glue gun. I also used some "Bling Flourishes" from the Magnolia Lane collection from Ultimate Crafts to add a bit of sparkle to the card.

I wanted to try out the new Clear Nuvo Crystal drops (from Tonic Studios) as I had seen that they dried clear. I added some to the card and allowed them to dry overnight.

I had at first, thought it was going to be ok left with no message but decided to add one - this reads  "Just for you" and I have coloured it with a pink alcohol marker and stuck it to a black layer and shaped it to the shape of the sentiment. I also added some more clear drops to each side of the sentiment to look like brads.

This card isn't my normal style but it came out better than I thought it would....and you can buy this card on my website here and...

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...
