You are clawsome! crab on a bubbly background 
6in square card

 Hi Craft addicts!

Today's card for the 100 day project is a fun, bright and cheerful one using Tattered Lace dies, a mask and some inks and crayons....


How I made this card:-

  • I used a pre-cut 6" panel of white stamping card (from Hunkydory) and placed the Disco Dots mask (again from Hunkydory,this time from their For The Love of Masks range) on top of it, securing it with some masking tape.
  • I coloured through the mask with two colours in the Rare Earth Reaction inks range (Turquoise Waters and Cornflower Blue).
  • I then trimmed it so that the bubbles appeared to be cut off in places. I also edged it with a blue alcohol marker (BT7 Spectrum Noir).
  • I had made two background pieces using various colours in the Tim Holtz Distress Crayons range (browns, beiges greens and yellows) and then cut out the You are Clawsome crab in the brown one and the fronds in the green - they are both Tattered Lace dies.
  • I then stuck the main bubble panel on to the front of a 6" Ivory pearlescent card (from Create & Craft) using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue and then attached the crab and fronds to that.
  • Finally, I added some Caribbean Ocean Crystal Nuvo drops to give it a bit more texture.

And there you are a fun and cheerful 6" cream card which was made using Tattered Lace dies, Tim Holtz Distress Crayons and a mask from Hunkydory...

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...
