I love Chocolate MDF wall hanging - 
Day 194 of my 366 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

So something a bit different today for my challenge - this time an MDF wall hanging that has the fun slogan "I love chocolate".

I love Chocolate MDF wall hanging


I used a 4mm MDF wall plaque (it comes from the "Tangled" collection from Dreamees) and coated both the top frame and base in "Chocolate Bronze" Metallic Gilding Polish (from Creative Expressions) a couple of times leaving it to dry in between coats. They measure 120x140mm approximately if you want to get them from elsewhere.

Whilst they were drying I mat and layered the topper (from Hunkydory), onto some bright blue cardstock, then some white and finally onto a lacy rectangle layer  of black cardstock which I had cut out using a Spellbinders die. As this topper was slightly too big, I trimmed the top and bottom to fit inside the frame.

I then glued this on to the back of the panel and then attached the frame on top of that. Not wanting to waste the bits of the topper I had cut out, I glued them on to the frame just slightly offsetting them on either side. To add a bit of "bling" I cut a strip of the gold "chain" bling that Hunkydory brought out recently and glued them to the top and bottom curving them slightly to give them shape.

Finally, I added 2 small circles which I had cut out in black cardstock on to the zig zag borders and some "Morning Dew" Nuvo Crystal drops which will dry clear. I then added some narrow white cord to the back to hang it up with.

 And there you are....a wall hanging that would make a great gift - you can buy it here and don't forget you can visit my website The Handmade Crafts Shop to see what else 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...
