Set of 3 A6 cards Wildlife themed (Pollyanna Pickering) - 
Day 190 of my 366 day challenge


Hi Craft addicts!

For today's challenge, I have made a set of 3 A6 (105x148cm) cards using the fabulous images from Pollyanna Pickering "Walk in the Wild" card making kit.

Set of 3 A6 cards Wildlife themed (Pollyanna Pickering)

Set of 3 A6 cards Wildlife themed (Pollyanna Pickering) -Wolf
The first card is the "Born to be Wild" card using one of the "Wolf" images in the set - I first of all took one sheet of acetate (double sided - gold/silver leafy from Hunkydory) and cut it to fit the front of the card. I then added some red liner tape to the top of the card (tent fold style) and added the acetate to it. I then glued the border on top of it so you can't see the tape.

For the topper itself,  I glued the wolf image on to some matte "gold" mirror card (from Kanban) using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue as it sticks well and cut it so there was a very narrow border. I then added some foam pads to it and stuck it to the top left hand corner.

For the sentiment I added the "Born to be Wild" one that came with the kit on to some black cardstock (Lynda Chapman's choice from Creative Crafting World), again so that there was a narrow border and using a double layer of foam pads on the right hand (and bottom left) along with a single layer on the top left corner) and added it to the card.

The inside has been left blank for any message to be added.

Set of 3 A6 cards Wildlife themed (Pollyanna Pickering) - Tiger and cub
The second card is the tiger and cub image which I made using the same process as above but this time reversing the acetate so that the silver side shows - and using some matte "silver" Mirror card (Kanban again) instead and a different border and sentiment "Happy birthday" which has added using a single layer of foam pads.


Set of 3 A6 cards Wildlife themed (Pollyanna Pickering) - Elephant calf
The third card has used the really cute image of an elephant calf which I have matted on to some black cardstock. The acetate is once again the silver side, and the border is a swirly one from the kit. The sentiment reads "Birthday Wishes".

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

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...
