Robot in oval frame 7" x 5" white card - 
Day 104 of my 366 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

So for today's challenge I have made this fun card that could be for a child of all ages!

I have been trying to get to use some of the die cuts I have and so have used this Tattered Lace frame and a topper from the "Birthdays" book of toppers from Hunkydory as the main focal points.

First of all, I hand coloured the front of the card with Tim Holtz Distress inks trying to co-ordinate them with some of the colours in the topper. I used some cut paper and brushed the sides of the card with more inks to give it a more defined frame in the darker of the blues.

I also used the yellow/blues on the frame so that it wasn't so white and stuck the Hunkydory Robot topper in to the centre of it and glued it to the middle of the card. I used a Spellbinders flower die as the backing layer for the sentiment "Have a brilliant day" which I got from Craftwork Cards "A Year of Sentiments" pad which I edged in a black marker.

I still had a couple of the cogs left over from one of my recent cards (from the "Cogs and Gears" die collection from Trimcraft and so placed one in the top left hand corner. Both sentiment and cog were attached using thicker foam pads than the topper.

I then stamped "May your birthday be as special as you are" inside using sentiment from Honeydoo Crafts Birthday sentiments collection using Versafine Black onyx ink pad.

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

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...
