Mosaic black cat Birthday Wishes 7x5in black card..

 Hi Craft addicts!

 Well, it is apparently National Hug a Cat day today so thought this black mosaic cat would be appropriate to write about!


How I made this card:-

  • I coloured a piece of 5" Yupo paper (from Ranger) using a variety of alcohol inks - for this particular one I used Jaquard Pinata colour inks as they are lovely and bright (especially on Yupo paper).
  • When I was happy with the design, I let it completely dry and cut out the solid mat layer in black card from the Watercolour Cat die set from Tattered Lace.
  • I then cut the main layer out of the background using the other die in the set along with the mat die as I wanted to cut it out totally. These dies are from their Unity collection so the mat layer cuts very close to the main topper.
  • I glued them both together using PVA Glue, but you could add a self adhesive layer so you don't have to do this...
  • I had cut out the frame out in Silver Mirri some time ago and decided to use it (I think it is a Tattered Lace die) and then cut a piece of Teal Mirror card to fit it and then embossed it using the Distressed Lines folder from Creative Expressions.
  • I stuck both of these together using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue and then attached that to the top half of a 7" x 5" black pearlescent card.
  • I also stamped the Birthday Wishes sentiment on to some white card using Gina K Black Amalgam ink, cut around it and edged it with a bright blue alcohol marker.
  • I used foam pads (or foam in a roll) to place the cat topper towards the top of the card and stuck the sentiment just below it.  

Products used for this card:-
  • 7" x 5" Black pearlescent card and envelope (from the Core Collection from Create & Craft)
  • Watercolour Cat die set from Tattered Lace
  • Rectangle deckle edge die from Tattered Lace (or any other one will do)
  • Birthday sentiments from Woodware Stamps
  • Distressed Lines Embossing folder from Creative Expressions
  • Yupo paper from Ranger
  • White stamping card
  • Silver Mirri Card
  • Teal Mirror Card
  • Jaquard Pinata Colour alcohol inks
  • Blue alcohol marker
  • Black Gina K Amalgam ink pad
  • Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue or Pinflair Glue it glue

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...
