Day 263 of my 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

 This card (for day 263 of my 365 day challenge) has been made using my watercolour paints and a really pretty image from Prism (Hunkydory)....


 How I made this card:-

  • I first of all used my mini score board to score the bottom and right hand side of a 6" cream pearlescent card (from Create & Craft) - I did it from the inside of the card so there was a raised surface when looking at the card.
  • I then took one sheet of the poppies from Vol 3 (I think) of Hunkydory's Prism Pad (to go with their alcohol markers) and firstly painted the flowers in red using Altenew's Watercolour paints.
  • Once I had done that, I used a mix of the green paints to paint over the stalks.
  • I used a mix of blues and greens to paint the sky and grass, trying to give the impression of shading. I have SO much to learn but am enjoying learning...
  • I then edged it with a black alcohol marker and stuck it to some pale green card (pre embossed with dots).
  • I stuck the whole panel on to the front of the card trying to make it central!
  • The Thank You sentiment comes from Birch Press Designs and I stamped it on to some black card (Lynda Chapman's World of Paper) using Versamagic ink and then added some White Embossing Powder and heat set it.
  • Finally, I trimmed it to fit and then added it to the card using foam pads.

And there you are - a card that is made using primarily Hunkydory products and I think would be great to send to anyone to say Thank You.

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...
