Take it easy... Leopard on branch 7" square card - 
day 175 of my 366 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

So I am once again using one of the wonderful images of a leopard lying on a branch that is part of the "Walk in the Wild" cardmaking kit from Pollyanna Pickering that Creative Crafting World brought out a few months ago.

Take it easy... Leopard on branch 7" square card from Pollyanna Pickering artwork
I first of all cut out a scalloped circle using the "Pin dot Circle" die from Tattered Lace and hand coloured it using blue, pink, orange and purple "Generation INX" pads and stuck the round topper on to it.

I then cut out a strip of black card using one of the pre-installed templates on my Brother Scan n Cut and placed one on the left hand side of the card (after I had glued the blue and white patterned border that came with the "Walk in the Wild" kit on it) and stuck it down. With the remaining piece, I cut it into two and stuck one part on the left hand edge of the card and measuring where I wanted the topper to go, placed the other on the right hand side.

Once I was happy, I then attached the main topper onto them using some foam pads. I then cut out the "Take it Easy" sentiment from the Paper Popper pad that accompanies the collection and added it to some black card and placed it on the bottom right hand corner again with some foam pads...To finish the card off, I added some "Caribbean Ocean" Nuvo Gloss crystal drops down the left hand side and 3 drops on the top right hand corner.

And there you are....a bright and cheerful card and don't forget you can buy from me here

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...
