Hope you have a lovely day - Flowers in vase - white embossed 148mm square card - Day 158 of my 366 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

Well the sun is shining yet again today so I thought these floral images would be appropriate!

Hope you have a lovely day - Flowers in vase - white embossed 148mm square card
I decided that I would use this pre embossed 148mm square card as it has a really cute ditsy daisy pattern that would go well with the toppers which come from the "Florals" Bigger Book of Toppers from Hunkydory.

I first of all coloured the card slightly using Tim Holtz Distress Inks and Generation INX inks too (in pink, orange and purple) so that it wasn't quite so white! I then separated the topper sheet into the frames and toppers (there are still a few left over after this project).

I glued the larger of the frames vertically on the left hand corner and the smaller of the two horizontally on the bottom right hand side. I then used the longer topper (which includes the sentiment "Hope you have a Special Day") and placed it in the middle of the first frame using foam pads to lift it up and then one of the smaller of them in the other frame again using foam pads which were slightly thinner to give a different dimension to it.

Once I was happy with them, I added a flower shape die cut (from Creative Expressions Delicate Daisies Open petals dies) which I had cut in white cardstock to the top right hand corner. I also added a "Purple Rain" Nuvo crystal drop in the centre and some more in the bottom right hand corner.

I also stuck one of the remaining smaller toppers on the flap of the envelope.

And there you are....one fun card that has been made only using only 1 topper sheet, a white embossed card and a die cut.

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...
