Quackers! Cute ducks and ducklings Easter (or any other day)  - 
Day 84 of my 365 day challenge

 Hi Craft addicts!

 Today's card is a fun card that didn't take too long to make again using Hunkydory's For The Love of Stamps and masks along with Zig Clean Color pens and alcohol markers.


How I made this card:-

  • This is a C6 landscape card - which makes it perfect for this type of card.
  • I took a piece of dark green card (this is from the Red Button range) and trimmed it to fit the card using my Cutterpillar Pro allowing a small border all around it.
  • I cut a strip of parchment paper and holding the Totally Quackers mask down on it, I used a Versamark mini ink cube to add the ink through it. 
  • I then added some Bright White embossing powder to it and heat set it using my heat gun - I did this from the back so it didn't blow most of it away.
  • I trimmed it a bit more to about 1.5" high not taking too much care to be totally straight and attached it to the dark green card sticking it at the back so you can't see the glue.
  • I placed the whole panel on to the white card and started on the ducks.
  • I stamped the larger duck (from the Totally Quackers stamp range) a couple of times using Versafine Black Onyx ink and coloured them in using a couple of shades of yellow and one orange alcohol marker and repeated the process with the smaller ones.
  • I also stamped out the little duckling diving into the water and coloured that one in too, this time using some blue shades for the water.
  • To finish the card off, I stuck the ducks on to the green part using a tape pen and adding foam pads to the little duck in the centre.

And there you are a card that is fun to make and receive - it could be for Easter or just to say hello!

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...
