Thank you card with flowers and grasses in silhouette C6 card - 
Day 55 of my 365 day challenge

 Hi Craft addicts!

 Well it is the weekend again and I thought I would show you a card I made for one of the very kind people who have donated to my sponsored slim (which I am doing for MacMillan Nurses - https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/felicity-fuller) - anyway, I was really pleased with the way that this one turned out..


How I made this card:-

  • I wanted this card to have a sunrise background rather than a sunset one, so used reds, pinks, oranges and yellow dye based inks (Altenew and Tim Holtz Ranger) - gradually blending them in so that it looked "realistic" on a pre-cut C6 white stamping card (this one is from Rare Earth).
  • I then stamped the grasses and flowers image (from Stamps by Me) on to it using Versafine Onyx Black in and added some clear embossing powder and set it using my heat tool.
  • I trimmed it about 1/4" on each side and then edged it in black using an alcohol marker .
  • I also stamped the "Thanks" sentiment - think it is also from Stamps by Me but could be wrong... on the top right hand corner and again embossed it using clear embossing powder.
  • I then placed the whole panel on to a white C6 tent fold card (this time using it landscape rather than portrait) and stuck it on using a PVA glue.
And there you are a cheerful and fun card that is simple to make....

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...
