Happy Birthday Zendoodle Frog 7" x 5" card - 
Day 248 of my 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

I coloured in this Zendoodle frog a couple of weeks ago but hadn't done anything with it - but here is a card that I used it for..


How I made this card:-
  • I first of all stamped the Zendoodle Frog out on to some white stamping card using Versafine Onyx Black ink and then added some clear embossing powder and heat set it.
  • I then Zentangled the whole image creating my own design which is great fun and mirrored one design on the opposite side.
  • I then coloured it in using Zig Clean Color pens trying to keep the same colours on either side of the frog.
  • Once I was happy with it (well as happy as I would be), I cut it out trying to make sure that no white was showing.
  • Before adding it to the card, I mat and layered 3 pieces of card - one red as that was one of the main colours in the frog, then black and finally a smaller panel of Silver Mirri card.
  • I then attached the whole thing to the front of a white 7" x 5" card and then placed the frog on to that using thin foam pads.
  • Finally, I stamped out the Happy birthday sentiment (from a Craftwork Cards set) on to a scrap of white card using the Versafine Onyx Black ink, cut it out, edged it with a red alcohol marker and added it to the middle of the left hand side (at an angle) with foam pads.

And there you are card that would be great to give to someone to say Happy birthday and there would be a different background every time.

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...
