Happy Birthday Floral Spray on Kraft card square card 

 Hi Craft addicts!

 I have been using a variety of techniques/cardstock to create different effects with the same stamp - this is one using White embossing powder on Kraft card....


How I made this card:-
  • I first of all used Versamark ink to stamp the Bold Blooms - Caroline flower spray onto some Kraft card and then added some True White embossing powder and heat set it. 
  • I then used the largest of the Scallop Layered squares die as it has a very decorative edge to it to create a topper.
  • Using the white pencil from the Chameleon set of crayons,I coloured in the flowers.
  • I also added some green and blue to the leaves and smaller blooms.
  • Once I was happy with the colouring, I then attached it (with a PVA glue) to a slightly larger square of dark teal card (I think this is from an old pack of Shades stock from Tattered Lace).
  • Using Versamark again, I stamped a Happy Birthday sentiment out onto some Vellum, covered it with True White embossing powder (to match the main topper) and heat set it, making sure I didn't stay too long on one spot to prevent burning.
  • I trimmed it with a wavy effect and placed it on the topper, working out where I wanted it - when I was happy with the position, I folded the ends behind the card and taped them down.
  • I  then added the whole panel on to the front of a 6" white card using PVA or wet glue and let it dry.
  • Finally, I added 5 drops of Strawberry Coulis Jewel Nuvo Drops (from Tonic Studios) in decreasing sizes to the top right hand side of the card and also added some to the centre of the 2 largest flowers.
Products used for this card:-
  • 6" Square white card with envelope

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...
