Flowers and leaves - 2 for the price of one - C6 card and CD sleeve - Day 145 of my 365 day challenge

 Hi Craft addicts!

 As it is the Bank Holiday and I probably won't be doing a blog tomorrow, I thought I would write about these two projects which have both used stamping and colouring over embossed images.


How I made these projects:- Both projects have been decorated with the Floral Favourites For The Love of Stamps by Hunkydory using slightly different methods.

Let your Dreams blossom C6 landscape card

  • I first of all blended some blue, green, yellow and orange distress inks in stripes directly on to the top and bottom of the front of the card as I like the way the Linen effect gives it some texture.
  • I then drew a line above/below the strips using a black alcohol marker.
  • I measured a strip of white stamping card which was the same width as the card but was slightly narrower than the space in the middle of the card.
  • I then coloured the whole panel with orange and pink distress inks and stamped 3 large flowers and 2 smaller ones in a row (at different heights) using Versafine Onyx Black ink.
  • I used a waterbrush to "bleach" some of the petals in each of the flowers and then added some stalks with the black alcohol marker.
  • I then used one of the small flowers and dotted them around the panel using the black ink.
  • I then edged the panel with black alcohol marker and placed it on the card with some thin foam pads.
  • I then stamped the sentiment on to some white stamping card, trimmed it and added it to the bottom right hand corner with foam pads.
Floral CD sleeves - hand coloured

  •  I assembled the white CD sleeve (using strong tape) and stamped the large flower on to it in various places using Versamagic and then added Seafoam White embossing powder to them and heat set them using a heat gun.
  • I then repeated the process with the leaves.
  • I used Tim Holtz Distress inks (Purples and Greens) to colour the front of the sleeve and then used some kitchen roll to clean the excess ink from the embossed areas.

And there you are two hand coloured and stamped projects that are 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

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...
