Season's Greetings Rudolph and parcels DL Christmas card - 
Day 355 of my 366 day challenge

Hi Craft Addicts!

It is so near Christmas time now but I have made this "Season's Greetings" DL card using some dies, a hand coloured background and some Nuvo drops....

Season's Greetings Rudolph and parcels DL Christmas card

How I made this card:-

  • I first of all took a pre-cut "Deckle edged" panel (from Craft Creations) and coloured a sky scene using various shades of "Blue" and "Black" distress and dye based ink using a circle of card to mask of the moon. 
  • Once I was happy with the overall effect, I took away the mask and very lightly coloured the moon to look as if there were some clouds moving across it.
  • I then cut out the "Rudolph" and "Sleigh" in dark "Kraft" card and glue them on to the panel using CS glue.
  • I also used some "Clear" Wink of Stella on the moon to make it sparkle.
  • I had some of the "parcels" already coloured (they are the "blue" peel off stickers from Craft Creations) and added some Wink of Stella to them too. They were coloured in "Blue, Pink, Red and Light Pink" alcohol markers beforehand. I glued them to the "Sleigh" making it look like they were falling out of the sleigh.
  • The "blue" strips were cut out using my Brother ScanNCut and glued it to either side of the card making sure that the scallops were on the "inside" facing into the Rudolph panel.
  • I then cut out the "Seasons Greetings" sentiment in white card and glued it to the bottom of the DL card using CS glue again.
  • Finally I added some "Strawberry Coulis" Jewel Nuvo Drops (from Tonic Studios) to each strip and some to the sentiment to look like holly berries. I also added a bit to Rudolph's nose!

And there you are - a simple to make Christmas card that I made using some dies, some distress/dye based inks and some alcohol markers.

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...
