Winter Scenes x3 hand coloured gift tags/labels - 
Day 316 of my 366 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

Today's challenge are 3 different gift tags which I have hand coloured and hand stamped using various ink colours and stamps.


How I made these tags:-
    Buy now
  • I first of all took 3 4" small white cards and using the small "Label/tag shaped" die cut these tags out. You have to make sure that one of the edges of the die (side or top) is slightly overhanging the card so that it makes a card rather than 2 different tags!
  • As you can see from the tags, I have used "Blue" DoCrafts Papermania dye based inks to create the sky - gradually using more and more to make the sky darker at the top. 
  • For two of them, I also cut out a small circle in white card stock and stuck it lightly (using temporary glue) to where I wanted the moon to be and repeated what I had done for the one on the right hand side.
  • For both the "landscape" and one of the "portrait" tags, I masked off part of the card to make it look as if it was a snowing scene.
  • To finish off the scenes, I used the "Trees" from the "Christmas Cottage" stamp set and then used some of the stamps from Card-io's "Christmas scenes" sets. I used Memento for these but would probably use Versafine in the future. 
  • I then used a Zentangle pencil to add some shadow and some "Morning Dew" Crystal Nuvo drops to add some details.

  • Finally, I added a sentiment "Christmas is the time..." to the inside of the "Portrait" one.

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...
