Elephant in silhouette - have a wild time 7in white card - 
Day 129 of my 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

 This is a card made from a beautiful Craftwork Cards topper along with stamps from the For the Love of Stamps range by Hunkydory and some coordinating card from Lynda Chapman's World of Paper.


How I made this card:-

  • I first of all took the zebra, lion, giraffe stamps from the Safari Adventure set from Hunkydory's For The Love of Stamps and stamped them all around the edges of a 7in square card. I used various inks from the Dinky Inkies Sparkle range and used a water brush to colour them in.
  • I then cut two pieces of coordinating brown and chocolate cardstock from Lynda Chapman's World of paper each slightly smaller than the other .
  • I used the Have a Wild Time stamp and stamped it around the edge of the darker brown card using Versamagic ink so it gave a watermark effect.
  • I then edged it using a dark brown alcohol marker and attached the lighter card to it using a tape pen. 
  • I cut out a scalloped edged circle in white card using a Tattered Lace die and inked it with Rusty Hinge Tim Holtz Distress ink and stuck the Elephant in Silhouette topper from Craftwork Cards.
  • I then added the two layers on to the front of the card using the tape pen so that you could see the animals around it.
  • I then the added the main topper to it using some thin foam pads to give it some dimension.
And there you are a project that began as a card but turned out as a pretty home decor item - again it 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...
