A Little note to cheer you up...hand coloured & stamped Lily C6 card Day 135 of my 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

 Day 135 of my 365 challenge and this time I have made a "Cheer You Up" card using a Hunkydory For The Love of Stamps Lily, some foil and some dies.


How I made this card:-

  • I cut out the two nesting Label Tags (I think they are Tattered Lace but might not be) in a dark blue (shows as Turquoise in the picture) and then matted the smaller silver holographic Mirri card on top of it.
  • I had previously cut out the circle die-cut in white card and whilst still in the die, had coloured it in using Blue distress/dye based inks, trying to make it lighter at the bottom..
  • I stamped out the lily (from the Lovely Lilies For The Love of Stamps collection) on to some white stamping card using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and coloured it in using Pink  shades of Spectrum Noir alcohol markers (PL1 and PL2) leaving some white at the tips of the petals.
  • I also used a green Zig Clean Color pen to colour in the stamens.
  • I then stuck it on to the circle die cut using a tape pen.
  • Before placing the label tags on to the front of the card, I added some Red Liner tape (medium width) down either side of the card (with the fold at the top) and stuck some blue holographic foil on it, burnished it and removed the waste. 
  • I then placed the tags in the middle of the card with some PVA glue (or any wet glue that gives you some "wiggle" time) and then added the lily on top of that using foam pads.
  • I had some Silver Candi left over from Craftwork Cards and added three of them on to the foil.
  • Finally, I stamped out the A Little Note to Cheer You Up sentiment from the Lovely Lilies set using the black ink on to white card, cut it out, edged it with a lilac alcohol marker and placed it on the bottom right hand corner with foam pads.
And there you are a card that is easy 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...
