Happy Christmas Rudolph square card - 
Day 341 of my 365 day challenge

 Hi Craft addicts!

 I had great fun making this Christmas card for day 341 of my challenge - this time using up items that I had cut out already but hadn't put to use!


How I made this card:-

  • Using the Rudolph die from Tonic Studios, I cut it out in back card (the outline) and stuck it to some light Kraft card and cut round it.
  • I then used some brown alcohol markers to create shading.
  • The first mat is a pre cut circle of white stamping card (from Hunkydory) which I coloured using Blue and Green Distress Oxide inks - to be honest I just used what was left on my dauber as there was still so much left on it!
  • I then cut out a slightly larger circle (a Tattered Lace Torn Edge die) in Gold Mirri,
  • The patterned mat was sold some time ago by Craftwork Cards and it has a resist layer so that when I coloured it using a variety of Dye based inks and removed the excess, it left this great pattern behind.
  • I then used the largest square die (again from Tattered Lace but any would do) and cut it out using Orange pearlescent card, gluing it to the front of a 6" white card.
  • I used a PVA glue to attach the patterned layer, then the main topper in the middle of the card - as the CWC mat has a smaller circle already in it, I took that out and placed the Gold layer inside it.
  • I then cut out the Happy Christmas sentiment in black shiny card and stuck it to the centre of the card.
  • Finally, I used Ebony Black Nuvo Drops (from Tonic Studios) to add some detail in the centre of the Hexagons and added a drop of Strawberry Coulis Nuvo Drops for Rudolph's nose!

And there you are -  A really great card to make and one that is even better to give at Christmas!

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...
