Unicorn with flowers LOVE wall hanging plaque - 
Day 8 of my 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

Today's challenge is a wall hanging that could be used in any room and would make a lovely gift for someone. 


How I made this project:-
  • I had this wall hanging chipboard plaque 20x13cm (I think from the Hobby House) and first of all painted it in white gesso and gave it a couple of coats on both sides.
  • I used a heat gun to dry one side and then painted the other.
  • I then used one of the leaves stamps from the Screen Sensations collection and stamped them on either side of the plaque using Altenew inks ad they are a really lovely colour.
  • Once they were dry, I then added the flowers on top of them again using an Altenew stamp as it is such a rich colour.
  • Whilst they were drying,I cut out the latest Unicorn die from Tattered Lace in the turquoise (teal) DoCrafts self adhesive paper and attached it to the middle of the plaque in between the holes - making sure that it was properly stuck down (sometime the adhesive isn't that strong so you can add a little PVA glue to ensure that it does)
  • I then used a Love sentiment stamp and used the green and blue inks to give it an hombre effect and placed it underneath the Unicorn.
  • I used some purple thin satin ribbon to allow it to be hung up.
  • I haven't varnished it but think I would do so so it could be placed in a bathroom or kitchen.
And there you are - a different kind of gift that you could give for Valentine's day - but of course the sentiment could be whatever one you want!

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...
