Thank Ewe countryside scene square card - 
Day 108 of my 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

 Today's card for my challenge is one I have made using Rare Earth Stamps, Tattered Lace dies, Alcohol markers and inks.


How I made this card:-

  • This card is made up of various stages - the stamped images, the background and the die cuts.
  • I first of all stamped the fields and trees (from Rare Earth's Wonderful Wildlife set) on to white stamping card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
  • I then coloured the fields and trees using tan/brown/green shades alcohol markers and cut them out leaving a very narrow border around them.
  • I put them aside and cut out the Daisy flower die in pale blue cardstock which I thought would make a good sun (in a surreal world of course).
  • I took out all the excess pieces of paper from the holes and placed a sheet of paper behind the front of the card and coloured it in to create a landscape - ie blue shades for the sky and greens for the grass.
  • Before adding the field scene, I stuck the daisy die cut to the top right hand corner using Cosmic Shimmer PVA Glue.
  • I then added the trees to the field scene using foam pads and then placed the whole panel on to the bottom half of the card again with foam pads.
  • Finally, I stamped the Thank Ewe sentiment in a Speech bubble and cut it out, and then stamped the Sheep image with Versafine Onyx Black ink and coloured it in with grey shades and stuck them inside the card so you could see some of the wording from outside.
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...
