Take it Easy - Leopard on branch - Pollyanna Pickering 5" x 7" card - 
Day 180 of my 366 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

So for today's challenge, I have decided to use one of the inserts from the "Walk in the Wild" insert collection from Pollyanna Pickering that Creative Crafting Wolrld sells.

Take it Easy - Leopard on branch - Pollyanna Pickering 5" x 7" card
I really love this image as it is so striking and thought it might be an idea to cut it into different sections and see what happens!

So, I first of all cut the 2 patterned edges off and glued them to either side of the card so that it matched on both sides. I then cut off the main image and added it to some cardstock (any will do but I used Lynda Chapman's black version) and separated the leopard section from the 2 black parts.

I then took the section that had the sentiment "Take it Easy" on it and turned it upside down to make sure first that it was in the right place. I cut it out and using a tape runner, attached it to the inside of the card on the left hand side.

Once that was done, I used some "daisy" shaped peel off stickers to add another border on either side of the card and then added the "Leopard on a branch" part of the topper to the centre of the card. I wanted the sky parts to be slightly raised so added them to the card using some black foam pads.

Take it Easy - Leopard on branch - Pollyanna Pickering 5" x 7" card insertI used one of the "Take it Easy" sentiments from the accompanying Paper Popper pad, added it to some black card and then attached to the bottom again using some black foam pads.

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...
