Dreams are the playground of Unicorns C6 hand coloured card - 
Day 141 of my 365 day challenge

Hi Craft Addicts!

 I must admit I am really pleased with the way this card turned out - using a resist technique to colour and emboss it....


 How I made this card:-

  • I took an A6 piece of white stamping card (this is from Craftwork Cards) and stamped the unicorn (from Sweet Dixie) in the middle of it using Rare Earth Clear Glass embossing ink and added some Seafoam White embossing powder to it and heat set it.
  • I then stamped the flowers, again with the Clear Glass ink and the white embossing powder. 
  • I added the word Magical from the same set, this time embossing it with Wow's Opaque White super fine powder and heat set them.
  • Once they had all cooled down a bit, I coloured the top third of the panel using Tim Holtz's Seedless Preserves, the middle part of it with Salty Ocean and the bottom third with Bundled Sage and Forest Moss, blending all of them together by going over each section until I thought it looked right.
  • I then took some kitchen roll and rubbed the excess ink off the embossed parts until they looked bright.
  • Finally, I stamped the sentiment "Dreams are the Playground of Unicorns" on to some white stamping card using Onyx Black Versafine ink as it gives a crisp impression.
  • I cut around it to make a rectangle and edged it with a dark blue alcohol marker.
  • Finally, I stuck the main panel on to the front of a C6 white linen effect card using some fingerlift tape and then added the sentiment to the bottom of it using foam pads.

And there you are a bright and cheerful 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...
