Hugs and Kisses Zentangled Cat 7x5in card - 
Day 161 of my 365 day challenge

 Hi Craft addicts!

 Well have the French Tennis Open on in the background whilst doing this blog and as usual want both players to win! Anyway, I thought this card turned out quite well and thought I would tell you how I made it!


How I made this card:-

  • I first of all used Canvas (the website app for my Brother Scan n Cut and exported a picture of a cat on to it and resized it to 3.5" x 4" and cut it out in white card.
  • I then used a fine Micron pen with black ink and Zentangled inside the cat - I probably will make them a bit larger the next time.
  • I coloured them in using Zig Clean Color Real brush pens and some alcohol markers.
  • I took a sheet of Khaki green paper (from a pack from Creative Crafting World I think) and stuck it to the bottom half of a 7" x 5" white card and trimmed it to fit (turning the card over so I could see the edges.
  • I then used some medium ultra strong red liner tape and placed it half on the paper and half on the card itself, removed the liner and added some blue holographic foil on top of it, burnished it well so it stuck to the tape.
  • I added the Hugs and Kisses sentiment (from a Birch Press set) and stamped it using Onyx Black Versafine ink to the bottom right hand side of the card.
  • I used foam pads on the cat so that it had some dimension and placed it to the left of the sentiment.
  • Finally I used 2 brownish gem stones to add another dimension, sticking them to the card using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue.

And there you are a bright and cheerful card that you could probably draw out on your Scan n Cut - great to make and 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...
