Hello - Garden shed and sea scene - hand stamped and coloured 7x5in card - Day 144 of my 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

I am really pleased with the way the colouring of this card went, in fact, I really like this card and could quite easily be in a boxed frame to make a home decor project!


How I made this card:-

  • I took a piece of A6 white stamping card and divided it roughly into thirds and coloured the bottom 2/3rds with green dye based/distress inks - Tim Holtz and Altenew provides different shades to create the grass effect.
  • I then coloured the top third with blue shades (again Tim Holtz and Altenew), trying to blend them in to create the sky.
  • I added some green shade to the bottom part of the blue section to try and make it a bit more sea like.
  • I cut out the Clouds in white card using Memory Box (Poppy Dies) and stuck them to the cloud part of the image, overlapping them in the middle where I knew the shed would go.
  • I then added a narrow darker line just underneath the clouds to give the impression of a horizon.
  • Once I was happy with the whole effect I then stamped the fence section about a centimetre down several times (from the Our House to Yours stamp set from For the Love of Stamps) using Onyx Black Versafine ink. 
  • I used two different shades of brown alcohol markers to colour the fences in and then a medium grey one to add some shadow beneath the fence and around the grass. 
  • I also used a small bird silhouette stamp to add some detail to the cloud area.l
  • I also stamped out the Garden Shed, Lawnmower and wheelbarrow on to some white card and coloured them in using a mix of alcohol markers and Zig Clean Color pens.
  • I cut them out (leaving a narrow white border around them. I wanted the wheelbarrow to be coming out of the shed so I cut round 3 sides of the door using a craft knife and placed it on to some textured card and stuck the other two items on it using a tape pen.
  • I then added the shed on to the front of the panel using foam pads and stamped the HELLO sentiment (from Altenew) to the left of the shed using Onyx Black Versafine ink.
  • I finally added the whole panel on to the front of a 7" x 5" white card using some finger lift tape and added 3 pale blue sparkly gems at the bottom of it.

And there you are a hand coloured and stamped 7" x 5" white 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

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...
