Happy Birthday Unicorn and butterflies C6 card - 
Day 168 of my 365 day challenge

 Hi Craft addicts!

 I really enjoyed making this fun and whimsical card (it is a white card despite the pic) using some Rare Earth stamps, Zig Clean Color pens and alcohol markers.


 How I made this card:-

  • I had a strip of white card that was going spare so I coloured it with some Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist sprays and let it dry - I used blues and greens with some red as I had an idea I would like to use it as sky and grass!
  • I stuck it to the bottom of a C6 white linen effect card and trimmed it and then used the rest on the top of the card.
  • I then stamped the flowers, plants and butterflies directly on to the card using Altenew inks and used a water brush to blend them slightly.
  • I then stamped the cloud in purple (these are all from a Rare Earth collection) just under the "sky".
  • I stamped the unicorn image on to some white stamping card with Versafine Onyx Black ink and coloured it and the girl in using alcohol markers. Once I was happy with the colouring, I cut it out and added it to the card with foam pads.
  • Finally, the Happy Birthday sentiment was one I had from a Pinflair collection and I cut round it, coloured it in using the same colours as the unicorn and added it over the cloud again with foam pads
And there you are an easy card to make by just using stamps and inks....

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...
