You don't have to be perfect.... beautiful flowery 7x5in card - 
Day 100 of my 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

Well today is day 100 of my 365 day challenge and I am offering a free give away as a "celebration" - just go on to my Facebook page to find out more... www.facebook.com/FizzyDesigns


How I made this card:-
  • I took the Misfit Monsters  mask (from Hunkydory's For the Love of Masks) and placed it in one corner of a 7" x 5" white card - I used Khaki and Lavender Mist from Rare Earth and a darker blue from Altenew.
  • As the mask is a square one, I moved it slightly to finish it off.
  • I then took a black alcohol marker and edged it so there was a rectangle space inside.
  • The topper measures 135x95mm (approximately A6) and I coloured the whole panel using dark and light blue inks (from Altenew) trying to make it look sky-like with it being lighter in the middle.
  • I then stamped the reed image on it using Onyx Black Versafine ink and quickly added some Clear embossing powder to it and heat set it with a heat tool.
  • I also added the You're beautiful sentiment to the top right hand corner from the same Stamps by Me set, this time stamping it with Versamagic and Seafoam White embossing powder so it stands out more!
  • To finish the panel off, I edged it a dark blue alcohol marker and stuck it in the middle of the card using permanent sticky dots and glued a Tattered Lace fern die-cut on the right hand side.
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

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...
