Just for you - Penny Farthing bicycle shaped card - 
Day 293 of my 366 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

Today's card is once again using some of the Hunkydory's "For the Love of Stamps" stamp collection - this time from the "A beautiful ride" one along with some of the "Tear and Share" card collection.

Just for you - Penny Farthing bicycle shaped card

How I made the card:-

  • I first of all cut out the panel of white card (Tattered Lace pin dot squares die collection) (linen effect as I like it) and coloured it using some N02 (Blue) and B01 (Blue) dye based inks from Generation INX keeping it in the die whilst doing so it gave an irregular edge to it too.
  • I then stamped the "Penny Farthing" bicycle on to it using Versafine "Onyx Black" ink once the background was dry.
  • I then coloured some of the "flowers" in using some "Yellow" and "Blue" alcohol marker.
  • I used the "Balloon" stamp from the same collection and stamped the edge of a fancy shaped card (I think from Hunkydory or Craftwork Cards) - using both first and second generation stamping - and coloured some in using a blue coloured pencil.
  • I then cut out a larger square using the same die collection, this time from a sheet of the "Tear and Share" collection from Kanban.
  • I attached that to the card using Collall All purpose glue as it allowed me time to get it into the right position.
  • I then edged the topper in black alcohol marker and placed it on the card with some thin foam pads.
  • I also used the "Just for you" sentiment from the "Stylish Silhouettes" "Woodland Walk - warm wishes" laser cut collection gluing it to the top right hand corner with a little Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue.
  • Finally I used some "Sea Breeze" Jewel Nuvo drops in each corner.

And there you are - a fun card made using stamps from Hunkydory along with some dye based inks for the background and some great cardstock from Kanban...

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...
