Owl in window Pollyanna Pickekring square card - 
Day 70 of my 366 day challenge

 Hi Craft addicts!

So, for Day 70 of my 366 day challenge, I have made this card using a stunning Pollyanna Pickering image from the British wildlife card making kit, Creating Crafting World produces.

Owl in window Pollyanna Pickekring square card
I first of all matted the topper on to a deckle edged cream panel (you can buy them already cut out from Craft Creations if you don't have a die-cutting machine).

I then added some black and white "Washi tape" to the centre of a larger deckle edged panel of Kraft card - this has been cut out using one of the square dies you can get from many different suppliers (you could also cut all of them out using your electronic cutting machines).

As you can see, i added the main topper at a jaunty angle as I thought it looked better that way, so place the whole mat and layered topper to the left of the card leaving more room on the right hand and bottom edges of the card.

I had a spare Spider's web left over from the Hallowe'en die-cut selection from Tattered Lace, and coloured it black using a Spectrum Noir alcohol marker.

I then decorated the other three corners with black and gold coloured crystal drops from Tonic Studios Nuvo range.

The card hasn't got a message as that can be added at a later date (as with the inside of the card).  There you are - a pretty and stylish card that is bright and fun   You can buy it (and other similar products on my website here

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...
