Dinosaurs  on hand coloured 5" x 7" white card - 
Day 178 of my 366 day challenge


 Hi Craft addicts!

So for today's card, I have made this cute dinosaur themed 5" x 7" card using a hand coloured background and stamped images.

Dinosaurs on hand coloured 5" x 7" white card
I first of all took a piece of card measuring 4" x 5.5" (approximately) and coloured it in using the Red, Orange, Green, Purple and blue Generation INX pads - I used some torn off paper strips to define where I wanted the different shades to be.

I then stamped the main dinosaur image from the "Dinosaurs" collection by Sharon Bennett from Hobby Art using a  Versafine "Onyx Black" ink pad and let it dry.

Once it was I used a DoCrafts Artiste "Olive Green" dual tip brush marker to colour it in (am not sure if it is a girl or boy - but could add a bow or something to show that). I used a fine paintbrush to lighten some areas and the brush marker around some of the edges again to darken it.

I wanted to add a bit more detail so added the palm trees, volcano and Pterodactyl and coloured them in using a "Fawn" Aqua marker (from Spectrum Noir).and the "Wet Leaf" marker from DoCrafts.

Once I was happy with the design (though I am never completely happy), I stuck it onto a frame of black cardstock ( I think it is Spellbinders one) and then glued it on to the front of the 5" x 7" card.

Congrats... square card - 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!       Today's latest handmade card for my 365 day challenge is this Congratulations stamp and some patterned paper. I must admit i can't remember who produced this patterned paper but think it is Paper Boutique from Creative Crafting World.. I rounded the corners of a 5" white square card and thought I would use it as a tent fold (that is with the fold at the top). I then cut out a piece of this foliage patterned paper so that there was a narrow border left when I placed it on the front of the card. Instead of adding a layer of black card behind it, I edged it with a Black alcohol marker and stuck it on using a tape runner pen - so many companies now do them or you could used  a light layer of PVA glue. I then cut a narrow panel (about 2") of the same paper so that it fitted the card and then stuck it to a slightly wider panel of Lynda Chapman's Black cardstock and stuck that to the card slightly left of the card front. I then placed the bird and...

Happy Birthday Bee card - 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts! Well today's card is a bright and cheerful one with a bee theme and I hope you will read more as to how it was made! I first of all decided which of the various beautiful designs I wanted to use from the latest Bumblebee Dance paper collection from Creative Crafting World's Paper Boutique range. After a while, I chose the Bee circle topper and the bee background paper to use as i think they are so colourful. Using the topper as a template, I chose a Tattered Lace Scalloped edge die and cut out a circle slightly larger than the topper and attached it using PVA glue. I then used the Rectangle part of the Standalone Dies from Time for Tea and cut it out twice, once in Lynda Chapman's Black card and another one using the Bee paper from the Paper Boutique collection. I took a 6in white card and cut off about 1.5" from the front of it and then used my Hunkydory Scoreboard to score the back part of the card several times. I used PVA glue again to glue the bl...

Merry Christmas to all circle Christmas Card - 365 day challenge

  Hi Craft addicts! Today's latest handmade card for my 365 day challenge is this one made totally from scratch. I used the largest circle (about 4") Petit Picot edge die from Spellbinders and cut out two pieces of card - the front is Paper Dienamic Metallink A4 card and the back part is Sheena Douglass A4 white willow card. I scored the back part about 3/4" towards the top and married the two pieces together and added some red liner tape, removed the carrier sheet and stuck them to each other. The black frame is cut out of Lynda Chapman's Black card using the Inverted Scallop die from Crafter's Companion Gemini collection and I stuck it to the front of the card using a dotty pen as it allows the glue to only go on places it needs to. I had a scrap piece of red cardstock and I cut the oval bauble (from Creative Expressions Sue Wilson Festive Collection Sparkle Baubles set) and then used silver mirror card to cut out the top part. I glued them both to the card usin...
