Just for you - Oriental flowers and butterflies 5" x 7" Kraft Card - 
Day 183 of my 366 day challenge


 Hi Craft addicts!

So I am half way through my 366 day challenge and I have made this "Just for you" card using a really pretty Hunkydory topper.and a 5" x 7" Kraft card.

Just for you - Oriental flowers and butterflies 5" x 7" Kraft Card
I took the Kraft card and cut about 2" from the right hand side as i wanted you to be able to see the inside part too. I then used some of the "yellow/orange" paper from the Craftwork Cards "Ombre" 8" paper pad and stuck them to the front (and reverse) as well as the inside of the card. (You will need 2 sheets to do this).

For the topper, I cut the "Lattice" style frame (Spellbinders I think) in "Pink" Adorable Scorable cardstock and glued the "Flowers and Butterflies"  image to it. I then added it to some "Pale Kraft" and black cardstock so it stood out more.  Using some black foam pads on the left hand side of the topper, I placed it towards the top of the card, allowing for some of it to overhang.

For the sentiment, I cut the words *Just for you" out from one of the toppers from the "Enchanted Woodland" collection (from Craftwork Cards) and coloured it slightly using the "Green" Generation INX ink pads and edged it using a "Pink" alcohol marker and added it to a layer of black cardstock. I then used some small foam pads to add it to the bottom of the card. To finish it off I used the "Sweet Lilac" Gloss Nuvo crystal drops to add some more detail on all corners.

And there you are....a bright and cheerful card 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...
