Dream Big.. Flowers on rainbow background - emboss resist 7x5in card - Day 206 of my 365 day challenge

 Hi Craft addicts!

 I really love the effect of stamping an image with Versamagic and then heat set it with a coloured (in this case white) and then colouring over it.... here is how I made this card..


 How I made this card:-

  • I took a piece of card and trimmed it so it measured 90x140mm (approx) and rubbed my anti-static bag over it to remove any "debris" and then stamped the flower design on to it using Versamagic ink (you can also use Rare Earth's Clear Glass ink or any other sticky ink).
  • I then covered it with True White Cosmic Shimmer Embossing Powder, removed the excess and then heat set it using my heat gun.
  • Once it was cool, I then used a variety of distress/dye based inks (from Tim Holtz and Altenew), moving from blue, pink, purple, red, orange, yellow and green - rainbow colours but not necessarily in the right order!.
  • When I was happy with the blending, I took some kitchen roll and took away the excess colours away, leaving the flowers standing out from the background.
  • I then stuck it to a slightly larger piece of black card using a tape pen and then placed that on to the top of a 7" x 5" white card.
  • Finally, I stamped the sentiment Dream Big on to some white card using Versafine Onyx Black ink. coloured the background in using the same colours as the main panel and then added it to the bottom of the card using foam pads.

And there you are a card that is very easy to make and hopefully would make a great card to say that you think they can go that extra mile!

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...
