We can do anything.. trio of butterflies DL card - 
Day 203 of my 365 challenge

 Hi Craft addicts!

 Am back having taken the weekend off blogging, though I still added 2  cards to my Instagram page to keep up with my challenge. I have always liked Gina K - both her videos and her products, and this is the first time I have had any to use so made this card....


How I made this card:-

  • I took a 12" ruler and created the border around a side folding DL landscape white card (from Paper Boutique) using a black alcohol marker making sure first that it didn't bleed through to the back of the card.
  • I then used a dauber and coloured the edges in Parrot Altenew ink (having masked off the inside part of the card first).
  • I used the largest of the "Butterfly Kisses" set of stamps from Gina K and stamped 3 of them out on to white stamping card in Bamboo Altenew Ink.
  • I then added the 2nd part of the design, this time using Parrot on two of them and Versafine Onyx Black ink on the 3rd as I wanted different designs on all of them.
  • I took the co-ordinating die and cut them out individually using my Baby Blue cutting machine.
  • I used a water brush to soften the inside of the butterfly on the right and left them to dry whilst I stamped out the sentiment "We Can Do Anything" from a birthday stamp set from Stamps by Me. I used Rare Earth's Clear Glass embossing ink on to some black card, added some True White embossing powder and heat set it.
  • I added the 3 butterflies across the card making them all go in different directions - I used Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue just along their bodies. I then added the sentiment on to the bottom right hand corner of the card.
  • Finally, I used Morning Dew Nuvo drops to add trails to each of the butterflies and made sure they were dry (they go clear).

And there you are a card that is very easy to make and hopefully would make a great card to say that you think someone is special!

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...
