Love & hugs blue poppies on distress oxide background square card - Day 260 of my 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

 Today's card for day 260 of my 365 day challenge is once again using a Poppy image from Hunkydory's Prism pads, their alcohol markers, some Tim Holtz Distress Oxide ink pads on a square card from Create & Craft.


 How I made this card:-

  • I first of all coloured the poppies in using various blue and purple alcohol markers from Hunkydory's new Prism range - must say they colour in beautifully and are great to hold!
  • I then coloured the background in using Mustard Seed, Mowed Lawn and Spun Sugar Tim Holtz Distress inks.
  • I also added a border around the topper using a green alcohol marker but didn't like what I had done so trimmed it down and then edged it with a black alcohol marker.
  • Using Connect Glue from Gina K (or you can use any PVA glue), I attached it to a piece of Hunkydory's Silver holographic card which was slightly bigger and then placed that on to some Green Mirror card (I think this was from Create & Craft).
  • I then splashed some water over the topper using a water brush pen and dried it off with some kitchen roll.
  • Using a PVA glue again, I stuck it to the front of a white pearlescent square card (6") from Create & Craft's new Core collection.
  • As I mentioned yesterday (or the day before), I am still using up the sentiments from Craftwork Cards' Year of Sentiments and so coloured in the flowers on the Love & Hugs label and edged it with some of the green ink left on my sponge dauber.
  • Finally, I attached it to the middle of the card using a foam pad.

And there you are - a card that is made using primarily Hunkydory products and I think would be great to send to anyone you want to know you are thinking of them.

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...
