Let's celebrate! Sunflower on hand coloured background A5 shaped card - Day 226 of my 365 day challenge

 Hi Craft addicts!

Today's card for day 226 of my 365 day challenge is one using Tattered Lace dies and Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks....


How I made this card:-

  • I coloured the background in using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks (the 1st time I have used them) - They are brilliant to blend but still have lots to learn as to what I can do with them!!
  • Whilst it dried (I left it overnight), I cut out the Sunflower Tattered Lace die twice, once in yellow and once in green. 
  • I used orange and a darker yellow alcohol markers to add some shading to the flower part of it and then snipped it to just have the head of the flower.
  • I then used PVA glue to attach it to the green flower making sure it was in the right place - this saved me colouring in both of the die-cuts!
  • I edged the background in black and stuck the flower to the middle of the background (I did in fact colour more of the card and will use that in another project).
  • I then cut out the Let's celebrate sentiment out using a Tattered Lace die in white card and stuck it to some gold Mirri Card using Midas Touch Sticky Dots (as I have said before these are great for more detailed die-cuts but you could also used adhesive sheets).
  • I trimmed the panel to fit and edged it in black alcohol marker.
  • I used the same Distress Oxide inks (to be honest what was left on the sponge daubers) to colour the inside edge of the card and a section of the scalloped front edge.
  • Using foam pads I added the sentiment to the bottom of the card, making sure that the foam pads didn't go over the edge which would have made it stick to the inside!
And there you are a card that is very easy to make and would make a lovely card to send to that special person.

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...
