Life is a journey... Butterfly in flight.. 6" white card

Hi Craft Addicts!

Today's card is a bright and cheerful card using the "Delicate Detail Butterfly" die from Tattered Lace along with their "Torn Edge" die. I used some Hunkydory stamps and Blue Mirri card...

Life is a journey... Butterfly in flight.. 6" white card

How I made this card...

  • I cut out the "Butterfly" detail die (from Tattered Lace Delicate Detail series) in some white cardstock.
  • I then coloured the "Butterfly" with Cosmic Shimmer "Pastel Green" and "Pastel Aqua" and "Violet Frost" Mica paints and let it dry.
  • Using the "Torn Edges" Rectangle die from Tattered Lace and cut around the die cut. I also repeated the process with some "Metallic blue" and stuck the white panel on to the Mirri card.
  • I finished that off by edging the whole thing in a "Bright Blue" alcohol marker.
  • I then used some "Bright Blue" ink (from DoCrafts Papermania) and stamped the "Butterflies" on the front of a 6" white card. They come from the "Caught a Bug" stamp collection from Hunkydory's "For the Love of Stamps" set.
  • I added a couple of "red" butterflies to add a different colour and used "Black Onyx" Versafine ink to add the butterfly trails and the "Life is a Journey" sentiment to the panel once I had set it on to the card at a jaunty angle.

And there you are - a bright and cheerful card that I made using some Tattered Lace dies, some Mirri card and Hunkydory stamps.

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...
