 Thank you card  elephant theme with Lattice background - 
Day 269 of my 366 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

Today's challenge uses a small baby "elephant" that I cut out using my Brother ScannCut along with a "Lattice" background and a hand stamped sentiment...

Thank you card - elephant theme with Lattice background

To make the toppers:-
  • I used my Brother ScanNCut's web app CANVAS and took the elephant from the Stamp collection and resized it and printed it out in black card.
  • i also cut out one of the "Wavy" line border strips from the standard templates after I had resized it.
  • I then cut out the "lattice/Moroccan style" panel die (I think it is is Sue Wilson's from Creative Expressions in black card.
  • I also cut out the "fern" style leaves dies in a pale green cardstock.
  • I also used one of the "waste" elements from a previous project that I had cut out in the "metallic green" mirri card.
To make the card up:-
  • I glued the panel on to the front of an C6 white card using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue and added some wavy "black" peel off stickers at the top and bottom.
  • I then added the black border strip to the middle of the card trimming it to fit.
  • I also used Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue to add the two "Folage" pieces slightly curving them to add a bit of interest.
  • I glued the elephant to the Mirri card (missing out the ear so it could "flap") and placed it on the border strip using some foam pads.
  • I had the "Thank you" sentiment (not sure which set it is from) and stamped it onto some white stamping card using some "Black Onyx" Memento ink. I also edged it using a bright blue (TB4) Spectrum Noir alcohol marker and then matt and layered it on some black card.
  • Finally I added it to the card again using some foam pads and placed some "Buttermilk" Nuvo crystal drops.

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...
