Roar!! Dinosaurs on hand coloured background - 
Day 258 of my 366 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

I have had great fun making this "Dinosaur" card - using HobbyArt stamps and "GenerationINX" ink pads.

Roar!! Dinosaurs on hand coloured background

To make the embellishments -

  • I first of all coloured the background using "Generation INX" stmap pads - masking off where I wanted the sun to be after colouring in most of the cardstock (this was one of Hunkydory's shaped cards), I used "Orange - O01",  "Blue - A02", "Yellow - Y02".
  • I masked off the top half of the sun and coloured the bottom part just slightly to give the impression of a shadow.
  • I used two pieces of card (one torn slightly and the other straight edged) to create the horizon with "Tuxedo Black" Memento ink and also added a bit to the top and bottom of the image.
  • As they are water based inks, I left it to dry overnight and then stamped the small "Palm Trees" and "Grass" from the "Dinosaurs" stamp collection from HobbyArt in a couple of places (going over the edge with two of them).
  • I then stamped the two "Triceratops" on some stamping card (this is Craftwork Cards Stamping "Must Haves set" and also a single "Pterodactyl" and the "Roar!!" using the "Tuxedo Black" Memento ink pad. I then coloured them in using the "Brown - BR02" Generation INX pads with a paintbrush along with some "Green" Spectrum Noir Aqua Markers.and cut them all out and again left them to dry.
  • I then stamped one of the "Pterodactyl" on to the background and coloured that in using a "Brown" SN Aqua markers.
  • I also coloured the "Roar" in using the "Orange" and "Green" Generation INX pads.
For the Insert - 
  • I cut out an insert (just slightly smaller than the card itself and stamped the "Dinosaur" and "Roar" on it and attached it to the inside of the card




 To make the card up -
  • I glued the background on to a "Red" scalloped edged 6" square card using Collall All Purpose Glue.
  • I then stuck the "Pterodactyl" onto the top left hand corner so one of its' wings was hanging over the edge.
  • I used foam pads to attach the two "Dinosaurs" to the card - I think for the next one I make I am going to use the "Stamp to Acetate" trick to make a mirror image of it so they look as if they are facing each other.
  • Finally I added the "Roar!!" in the space between the flying dinosaurs using foam pads.
  • I also stamped "Roar" on the back of the envelope so it all ties in together.

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...
