Man of the Match - enjoy your Day Sports theme card - 
Day 144 of my 366 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

So for day 144 of my 366 day challenge, I have made this "Man of the Match" - Enjoy your day 5" x 7" card - it is landscape so that it opens on the short side (or should that be long) - anyway it is different from the normal card (or even a tentfold style).
Man of the Match - enjoy your Day Sports theme card

I wanted to test out the latest Cosmic Shimmer Gilding Polish so painted the whole area of a pre-cut piece of white linen cardstock and let it dry - it really does make it look "metallic" and am really pleased with the result.

I also repeated it on some thinner card for the panel for the 3" card and also the background for the sentiment.

I then separated the toppers and sentiments from the sheet - Hunkydory really produce excellent quality items! I wasn't sure how precisely I wanted them on the card so played around for a bit until I was happy with the layout. I glued the smaller of the frames vertically on the left hand side of the card and then the larger horizontally on the right hand side of the card.

I wanted the card to have a bit of dimension to it, so place the "Enjoy your Day!" topper within the smaller frame using shallow foam pads, and the larger, main topper with thicker ones (you could of course just double up on the thinner ones if you only have them!). I then glued the sentiment "Man of the match" onto a piece of the painted card and again used some foam pads to attach it to the top left hand corner.

There were still some toppers left over, so I cut out a panel of the blue painted card using the Tattered Lace Pin Dot rectangle dies and stuck both that and the topper to a small (3" white card) that can be used as a gift tag or gift card and used another on to the envelope flap.

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...
