Best Wishes flowers and sentiment A5 landscape card - 
Day 243 of my 365 day challenge

 Hi Craft addicts!

I wasn't going to do a blog today for my challenge but I changed my mind so have made this quick and easy card....


How I made this card:-

  • I marked off the centre panel of an A5 card, this time using it as a top fold (tentfold) one and lightly marked them with pencil.
  • I then used some purple tape (low tack) to cover the centre of the card and then coloured the top and bottom of it using Green and Yellow Distress Oxide inks from Tim Holtz (Ranger) - see below for colours.
  • Once I was happy with the blending, I removed the low tack tape and placed the BEST WISHES sentiment (from Toni Darroch's Stamps By Me Lamination stencil set) in the middle and coloured through it using the same inks, this time trying to give an ombre effect.
  • I decided that it needed something else, so I used one of the flowers stamps from Thirsty Brush to add it either side (I turned it upside down on the right hand side so that it turned inwards - maybe more companies will make stamps for this sort of thing more often as it isn't perfect like this.
  • I used Versafine Onyx Black ink to stamp them and once they were both dry, I used a green ink pad from Altenew to colour the leaves in.
And there you are card that would be great to give to someone to say you are thinking of them and want to send them love...

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...
