Wicked.... A6 white Halloween card - 
Day 296 of my 365 day challenge

 Hi Craft addicts!

I have had these peel off stickers for some time and thought it was about time I used them so this is the result!


How I made this card:-

  • I took a precut panel of white hammered card and coloured a sky scene using Tim Holtz Distress ink (Salty Ocean).
  • I then added various peel off stickers (from Craft Creations) to create a scene - I was still able to used the spider's web even though it broke as it looks like the spider is trying to fix it!
  • When I was happy with the way it looked, I added some True Graphite Altenew inks beneath the cauldron etc and also added a light brush of it over the spider's web. 
  • I used two sizes of bat stamps (think they are from Hunkydory's For The Love of Stamps range and the larger one is from Bert and Gert's Halloween Range and stamped them randomly on either side of a white linen effect card using Versafine Onyx Black ink.
  •  I used a ruler to edge the panel with a green alcohol marker (the chisel tip end) and then added a border around it using a black fine liner pen.
  • I then stuck it to the front of an A6 white linen effect card.
  • Finally, I stamped the Wicked sentiment on to a piece of white stamping card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then coloured it in with green and orange alcohol markers alternating them on each letter.
  • I edged that with a black alcohol marker and fixed it to the bottom of the card using foam pads.

And there you are - a homemade/handmade card that was made using only a few peel off stickers, some alcohol markers and stamps

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...
