Tiger and cub Pollyanna Pickering rocker card - 
Day 125 of my 366 day challenge 

Hi Craft addicts!

So, I am once again using the Tiger and Cub image from the "Walk in the Wild" Card making kit by Pollyanna Pickering (there are many different sizes and shapes to choose from).

Tiger and cub Pollyanna Pickering rocker card

I had cut out the Tonic Studios "Celtic Dream Circle Layering Set" in black and wondered how to use it and thought I would try making it into a rocker card. So I folded it in half making sure everything was symmetrical.

I then cut out one of the Tattered Lace "Pin dot Decorative Circles" (slightly bigger so that the topper had a narrow frame) in white card. 
  • "TOP TIP" To make sure the card is kept clean from the cutting plates - cover the card you are cutting with some thin copier paper so that the marks go on that instead of the card! 
I stuck the topper on to the white card and added glue to the bottom half and stuck it to the base card making sure that it was equal. I then cut out the "Forever" sentiment in white cardstock and glued it to the right hand side of the card.

I cut out a second Tattered Lace "Pin Dot Decorative Circles" in white and cut it in half and glued one half inside the card and the other on the reverse so that you can write on it!

I also placed some "Bottle Green" Nuvo Crystal drops from Tonic Studios around the edge just to give a bit more colour to it.

And there you are a really fun card for any occasion!

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...
