Baby elephant Pollyanna Pickering 7" x 5" card - DAD - 
Day 145 of my 366 day challenge


Hi Craft addicts!

Once again I have turned to the stunnng artwork from Pollyanna Pickering, and this time I have used the baby elephant image to make this card that could be good for a birthday card or even Father's Day.

Baby elephant Pollyanna Pickering 7" x 5" card - DAD
So, I first of all used one of the larger toppers that comes in the card making "Walk in the Wild" kit and glued it to a small layer of black cardstock. I then took one of the smaller images that is in the Card Popper pad and trimmed it to how I wanted it.

I cut out the Tonic Studios "Honeycomb Simple Screens" border in a darker Kraft card and attached it to the left hand side of the card with a small gap of the white card showing. I then replaced alternating "honeycombs" in a line down the border.

I used foam pads to place the larger of the toppers to the right hand side of the card and stuck the smaller of the images on the bottom left hand corner.

I also cut out the "DAD" sentiment from one of the Tonic Studios relative die sets in cream linen card and separated the letters and stuck them in a diagonal line down the bottom right hand corner.

To finish off the card, I added some "Pale Gold" Nuvo crystal drops in between the honeycombs and also around the smaller image.

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...
