Wishing you a Bright and Happy Day Stag in silhouette square card

 Hi Craft addicts!

 I do love these animal silhouettes from Crafter's Companion and so  made this Birthday card using a background I created using Tim Holtz Distress Crayons.


How I made this card:-

  • I first of all used various Tim Holtz Distress Crayons (Orange, Yellow, Brown and Pink) to create the background. 
  • I blended it in using a paintbrush and some water and let it dry.
  • I then used one of the Tattered Lace Deckle edge Oval dies (I had measured it against the Deer die to make sure it fitted) and cut the background layer out.
  • I cut out the Deer/Stag die using Black card and stuck it to the background layer using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue.
  • I had previously scored the top and bottom of a 6" square pearlescent card several times and placed the oval background towards the top of the card and stuck it down again using the PVA glue.
  • I stamped the Wishing You a bright & happy day sentiment (from Pretty Quick) on to some black card using a Versamagic ink pad and heat embossed it with some white embossing powder.
  • I trimmed around it and attached it to the bottom of the card with foam pads.
  • Finally, I used black and amber self adhesive gems to add some dimension to opposite corners of the card.

Products used for this project:-
  • 6" Cream Pearlescent card with white envelope from the Core Collection from Create & Craft
  • Stag/Deer silhouette die from Crafter's Companion
  • Sentiment stamps from Pretty Quick
  • Deckle Edge Oval dies from Tattered Lace
  • White Card
  • Black card
  • Orange, Yellow, Pink, Red and Brown Tim Holtz Distress Crayons
  • Self adhesive gems
  • True White Embossing Powder
  • Versamagic ink pad
  • Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue or Pinflair Glue it glue
  • Collall All Purpose glue
  • Foam Pads

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...
