Floral panel on Kraft 7"x5" card - Day 198 of my 366 day challenge


Hi Craft addicts!

As it is the weekend, I thought I would make this simple 7" x 5" card using a Tattered Lace panel die.

Floral panel on Kraft 7"x5" card The floral panel is the "Adele" die (it measures 11x14.5mm approximately) from Tattered Lace which I cut out of white cardstock. I decided I wanted to keep it mainly uncoloured so attached it to the front of a 7" x 5" Kraft card (these are from DoCrafts Papermania) using a thin layer of Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue.

Once it was on the card, I realised that it probably did need some colour so used various Spectrum Aqua Markers to fill in some of the flowers and leaves" blending them in with a paintbrush.

I then added a narrow strip of zig zag edged purple cardstock to the top of the card and a flower that I had made using pink and yellow copier paper using some Tattered Lace flower dies along with the purple Spellbinders flower die. I also added some Reddish purple Glittler Nuvo crystal drops in the centre and allowed it to dry.

To finish the card off, I added the flower to the bottom right hand corner, added some "Duck Egg Blue" and "Morning Dew" (which dries clear) Nuvo Crystal drops to various parts of it.

The insert (cream paper) has been left blank but could have a message or image stamped on it.

 And there you are....a card suitable for all occasions. - and don't forget you can visit my website The Handmade Crafts Shop to see what I have for sale.

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...
