Just for you - hand stamped sunrise scene - 6in square card - 
day 291 of my 366 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

So today's card is again using the Card-io stamps along with dye based inks and Tonic Studios and Tattered Lace dies. I have also used a "Just for you"  sentiment. The linen effect 6" card makes it more "smudgy".

Just for you - hand stamped sunrise scene - 6in square card

How I made the topper:-

  • I first of all took some "White" stamping card (from Stamps Away) and cut out the panel (it measures approx 9cm) from the Tonic Studio "Threaded layering square dies)
  • Keeping it in the die, I used "Red- RA01", "Orange - O01", "Pink - PI02" and some "Blue - B01" Dye based inks from Generation INX (from Stamps by me) to create the sunrise scene, I wanted to make it a bit misty looking so kept the colours quite light.
  • I then cut out the black "picot edged" die from Tattered Lace (approx 95mm) in Hunkydory's Adorable Scorable and glued the topper to it.
  • Using some of the stamps from the "Festive Fun" Card-io collection, I added the mountains towards the top of the panel and turned the branch on its' side to make the trees.
  • I also added the man and the dog to the bottom of the scene and finally "grounded" them all using a "Zentangle" pencil.
How I made the card:-

  • I added the topper panel to the centre of the card using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue and waited for it to dry.
  • I then  used the "Just for you" stamp (from the "Its All in the Words" collection from the Maron Emberson Designs. As the cardstock has a linen effect, the words have a smudged effect and so I thought I would add some wiggly lines to connect them all.

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...
