Happy birthday and all that jazz sax players on music background - day 102 of my 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

 So today's card is once again using up pieces of card and paper that I had previously going to be using for another card but didn't... this time musical themed....


How I made it....

  • i went into Canvas (the Brother Scan n Cut's web app) and used the Image Tracing tool to add the Sax player and then cut it out in black card.
  • I then cut out the Sax player on the right in green card using one of Tonic Studios' dies - I was going to paper piece it but decided against doing that as i think this effect of the solid one on the left and the outline on the right works well.
  • I used Hunkydory's For the Love of Masks All That Jazz to add the border around the card - the ink pad used was the True Graphite Altenew one as I wanted it to be slightly muted. 
  • I then masked through the musical notes part of the mask twice (once on each side again using the True Graphite ink. I also did the same with the buildings outline at the bottom.
  • I used Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue to attach the Saxaphone players to either side of the card, removing any glue that might have come through the spaces.
  • I then added the musical notes from the accompanying All that Jazz For The Love of Stamps set using Versafine Onyx Black ink so that they appeared to be coming out of the saxaphones and also two other notes on either corner at the top.
  • I finally stamped the sentiment "Happy Birthday and all that jazz" on to some white card using Versafine and once it had dried properly, coloured it slightly with some green ink that was left on my dauber and edged it with a green alcohol marker and placed it on to some green card.
  • I then placed it in between the two places with some foam pads.
And there you are a card that is a fun card which is simple to make and would be great to give!

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...
