Floral hand stamped C6 card - 
Day 262 of my 366 day challenge


Hi Craft addicts!

Have been trying my hand at stamping and colouring and have made this C6 card for day 262 of my 366 day challenge.

Floral hand stamped C6 card

To make the topper:-
  • To make the main focal point, I first of all cut out an oval shape 100x78mm approximately in white stamping card and cut out the centre of it so it was a frame.
  • i then coloured it using "Green G01" and "Yellow Y02" making the bottom half of it darker than the top.
  • I then added the leaf images using Card-io's Majestix "Autumn Wreath" stamps - double stamping them to add different shades to the image (I used "Onyx Black" Versafine ink as it is much better to use for smaller/more detailed images.
  • I repeated this on the inside of the frame. 
To make the card:-

  • Using a wavy border strip I had cut out using black card, I added it to the top and bottom of the card.
  • I then added a smaller oval in black to the centre of the card and added the topper to the middle of it using foam pads.
  • I then cut out a flower shape using the "Open petals" die from Sue Wilson Creative Expressions in pink card and stuck it to the middle of the frame.
  • I used "Apple Green" Nuvo Crystal drops in the middle of the flower and "Morning Dew" drops to the wavy border strips.
I was going to use it vertically but it looks just as good horizontally) and so have shown it as such.

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...
