Clocks - make every second count tag on card - 
day 294 of my 366 day challenge

 Hi Craft addicts!

 Today's challenge is a mix of hand stamping, colouring and some label style dies. I have used the "Time to Celebrate" set of stamps from Hunkydory on a tag from Craftwork Cards.
Clocks - make every second count tag on card

 How I made the tag topper:-

  • I took one of the tags from Craftwork Cards "Stamping Must haves" collection and stamped the larger of the "Clock" stamps onto the card using Versamark ink (first of all cleaning the area with an anti-static pad). I then added some "Gold" embossing powder (from DoCrafts) and heated them until they "turned".
  • I then repeated the process with one of the smaller cogs and this time used some "Green" embossing powder (from HoneyDoo) and finally added one of the cogs in black.
  • Once it was right, I then coloured the tag using the inks that were left on two sponges - that is "Blue, Pink and Orange" - i really like the subtle colouring this gives.
  • I then cut out the "Label" shapes (I think they are from Tonic Studios) - the larger one in "Gold" and the smaller one in "white". 
  • I kept the white one in the die and coloured it in as it gave a white border around it and then stamped the sentiment "Don't count every..... count" in the centre of it using "Tuxedo Black" Memento ink pad.
How the card was made up:-
  • I first of all added some "Brown and White" Baker's Twine to the tag.
  • I then attached the "Gold" label to the middle of the card with Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue and then added the smaller of the labels to it using some foam pads.
  • I then glued the whole tag to a "brown" card (using Adorable Scorable) at a jaunty angle.
  • I used a Craftwork Cards "Candi brad" to attach the twine to the card.
  • Finally, I added some of the new "Orange Marmalade" Nuvo Jewel drops to opposite corners.


 And there you are - a card made using some images I cut out using my Brother ScanNCut, some inks for the background and some of the new Jewel drops from Nuvo (Tonic Studios)

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...
