Young at heart... girl on horse hand coloured A6 white card - 
Day 213 of my 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

Today's card is another cheerful and whimsical card using Tattered Lace dies, Alcohol markers and Kuretake watercolour paints...

How I made this card:-

  • I first of all painted the background panel using 3 shades of blue watercolour paints from Kuretake using the darker colours for the top and bottom. Once I was happy, I let it dry overnight.
  • I then cut out the girl on a horse (it was originally part of a fairground scene which has it attached to a circle frame) in white card.
  • I coloured it in using a variety of alcohol markers - orange/brown for the girl's hair and the horse's mane and tail. blue and grey for the horse itself, darker grey for its' hooves and black for her shoe.
  • I then snipped the girl and horse away from the circle frame along with the pole as I had the idea that she would be holding a line to the sentiment...
  • Anyway, I coloured the edge of the panel in a black alcohol marker and stuck it in the middle of an A6 white linen effect card.
  • I used both foam pads and a tape pen to attach the girl and horse to the panel, setting it slightly at an angle so it looks like she is jumping out of the card.
  • I stamped the sentiment Young at Heart on some white stamping card using Onyx Black Versafine ink and placed it on to some gold Mirri card and attached it to the top left hand corner of the card using foam strips.
  • I then used a black fineliner to link the girl's hands and the sentiment.
  • Finally, I used some bluey/turquoise pearls to add some bling to it - they aren't self adhesive ones so I just used some Midas Touch Sticky dots to attach them.

And there you are a card that is very easy to make and hopefully would make a great card for you to send to someone to tell them they are young at heart!

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

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...
