Just for you wildlife silhouette 5" window aperture card - 
Day 4 of my 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

Day four of my challenge and this time I have used a window aperture card to make this Just for You card. Simple but stylish I think!


How I made this card:-
  • I have some of these Window aperture 5" white cards and needed to use them up so thought they would work with this idea I had.
  • I cut a piece of cream hammered card to fit the inside of the card and hand coloured it using various shades of green Pigment and Distress inks (with a touch of black to darken the top of it) - I used Altenew inks primarily for this but also Tim Holtz Distress inks as well.
  • I did want it a bit darker but made do with this for this card so let it dry.
  • I then cut out (using my Baby Blue small die-cutting machine), the Rabbit, fawns, grass and ivy in black card so they would appear in silhouette.
  • Before sticking the green card to the back of the front of the card (if that makes sense), I used some blue Altenew inks to colour the frames and again allowed it to dry....
  • I then stuck the card using a tape pen (though you could use red liner tape) and worked out where the animals and plants should be and then glued them in place using Cosmic Shimmer PVA Glue - though I do also use Pinflair's Glue-it glue!
  • I cut out the Just for you sentiment in gold adhesive cardstock and the backing layer in black and stuck the sentiment to the top right hand corner using foam pads - I really love the sentiments that Lynda Chapman has brought out and hope there will be a lot more of them in the future!!
  • Finally, I snipped the ivy to fit the card and added some White Blizzard Nuvo Glitter drops to the frame..

And there you are - a card that is quick and easy to make but looks good I think - and one I would be happy to either give or receive!

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...
