Just Because - Multicoloured flower C6 card - 
Day 150 of my 365 day challenge

 Hi Craft addicts!

 Well it is day 150 of my challenge and I have made this flower themed card using new Altenew stamps and co-ordinating dies along with one of their sentiments - I really love the font of the Just Because as it is decorative but very legible!


How I made this card!

  • This is a white linen effect C6 card and so I first of all used a score board to embossed 4 lines on the right hand side (first of all doing them from the inside and then went over them again on the outside).
  • I then stamped the larger of the flowers in the Folksy Florals stamp set from Altenew on to some white card - I dabbed some blue, purple and red inks directly on to the stamp as it is a solid image and then repeated the process with the smaller one, this time with Orange, Red and Yellow inks (from both Altenew and Tim Holtz).
  • I used the Onyx Black Versafine ink to stamp the inside of the flower and then cut it out using the co-ordinating die trying to leave an equal border around it!
  • I had some of the circle frames left over from another project (from Hunkydory's Triple circle aperture cards) and stuck 2 on top of each other so it was slightly higher than the stamped image and glued it to the top left hand corner with PVA glue and then stuck the flower inside it with thin foam pads.
  • I then stamped and cut out the stalk/stem and the two sizes of leaves having used two different shades of Altenew ink (Parrot and Moss) and stuck them just below the circle frame.
  • The Just Because sentiment came from a collection of stamps from Birch Press and I stamped it out on black card using Versamagic ink, added some white embossing powder and heat set.
  • I cut it out (making sure it fitted the card) and added it to the bottom using some foam tape.

And there you are a really easy but fun card 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...
