Hello - Dreamcatcher 6" white square card - 
Day 132 of my 366 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

For today's project, I have made a 6" square deckle edged card using embossing folders, die cuts from Tattered Lace and Tonic Studios along with inks. Apologies for the photo as I just can't seem to get it properly white!

Hello - Dreamcatcher 6" white square card

I first of all took the card and cut one part of the front diagonally using the scalloped edged (No. 10) die from the Tattered Lace Scallop Border dies. 

I then used the Xcut 6" square small polka dot embossing folder and embossed the front panel twice so it shows both "embossed" and "debossed" spots.   

I had previously coloured some cardstock using "Chic Aubergine" and "Decadent Denim" Cosmic Shimmer Colour Cloud blending inks and cut the "Dreamcatcher" die cut out (it is a Tattered Lace die). I also used the two inks to colour the edge of the front of the card. 

I then cut out the "Hello" sentiment which is from the Tonic Studios Rococo range in white card and coloured it using the same inks as the "Dreamcatcher". I glued it to the inside of the card so that it can be shown when the card is both open and closed.

I used a black Fineliner pen to decorate the first lot of spots near to the scallop edge and around the sentiment.

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...
