You'll be missed Sea scene with fishing boats hand coloured/stamped card - 
Day 204 of 366 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

For today's challenge, I have used a hand coloured scene, along with stamps to make this 7" square card. You can buy it on my website by clicking on the "Buy Now" button below.... 

You'll be missed Sea scene with fishing boats hand coloured/stamped card

So first of all, I used some distress and dye based inks (Tim Holtz and Generation INX in pads to create the background - I used torn off paper strips to create the waves and then used a paintbrush to blend some of the colours in.


Buy NowI cut the background to 5" x 6.25" and layered it onto some black cardstock.so it stood out a bit more. As the design was a rectangle size, I used the 7" card tent fold style so that the fold was at the top instead of the side. 

I then used the largest of the "fish" stamps from the "Take it Easy" Stamp collection from Craftwork Cards and stamped 4 of them on either side of the card and then coloured them in using the "Sea Spray" Twinkling H2O shimmering watercolour paints.

Once they were all dry, I then glued the background on to the card using Collall All Purpose Glue trying to make it equal on both sides.

The card can be left blank on the front, but I added the "You'll be missed" sentiment that is from the "Year of Sentiments" collection again from Crafwork Cards to the top right hand corner to see what it looked like!

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...
