You could be somebody Caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland card - 
Day 277 of my 365 day challenge

 Hi Craft addicts!

 I really love the stamps that Visible Image produce and I wasn't disappointed with the Alice in Wonderland set. The first card I made was this one with the Caterpillar....


How I made this card:-

  • I first of all took a pre cut white label tag (it measures about 4"x2.5") and stencilled the brick wall (from Skull & Cross Buns) on to it using Wild Honey Tim Holtz Distress Oxide and a stamping brush.
  • I took a piece of Hunkydory's Colour Families 8" paper pad (there are lots of colours in this range) and trimmed it to fit an A6 card leaving a white border and stuck it down using a tape pen.
  • I then attached the label tag on top of that using a PVA glue and placed it at an angle.
  • I stamped all of the items in the Caterpillar set from Visible Image on to some white stamping card and coloured them in using a mix of alcohol markers - you can of course choose whatever colours you like! I used Versafine Onyx Black ink and whilst still wet, added some Clear Embossing powder and heat set it.
  • I cut them all out trying not to leave a white edge but I didn't quite succeed! 
  • I glued the mushroom straight on to the tag using PVA glue and then attached the Caterpillar on top of that using foam pads.
  • Finally, I attached all of the sentiment panels on to the card in a random order (as nothing is quite what it seems in Alice in Wonderland) using PVA glue.

And there you are - a homemade/handmade card that is made using only a few products but would be lovely to send to someone who loves Alice in Wonderland.

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...
