Hugs - Butterfly and flowers hand coloured C6 card - 
Day 162 of my 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

Well it is day 162 of my 365 day challenge and today's project is using Hunkydory's For The Love of Mask, Altenew stamps and inks.


How I made this card:-
  • I first of all masked off the inside of a C6 white linen effect card so that there was a border about 1cm all around and coloured it in using Festive Berries Tim Holtz Distress ink.
  • I then removed the masking tape and using the Dainty Daisies Mask from Hunkydory coloured in the stalks and flower using bright green ink (Altenew Parrot) on the top right and bottom left hand corners.
  • Using the Hugs sentiment from the collection by Birch Press, I stamped it in the top left hand corner using Versafine Onyx Black ink.
  • I also stamped a butterfly (from Altenew) in the bottom right hand corner using the same black ink and coloured it in using red and pink Zig Clean Color Pens.
  • I used a black alcohol marker to add an inner edge to the border, leaving a gap where the butterfly is so that it looks as if it is coming out of the card.
  • I had a pre cut deckle edged 67mm square panel of card and I used the flower image on the mask and coloured them in using a bright red Altenew ink and then the stalk in the green.
  • I edged it in black and placed it on a slightly larger pale green piece of card and also edged that in black and added it to the centre of the card with foam pads to give some dimension.
  • Finally, to finish the whole project off, I coloured some flowers and stalk on the back of the envelope.

And there you are a bright and cheerful card that just uses a Mask from Hunkydory, some inks and a stamp.

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...
