Time to Sparkle... fairies Once Upon a Twilight tag and card

 Hi Craft addicts!

 Today's card is a Fairy themed 6" card which I have made using the Once Upon a Twilight cardmaking kit from Hunkydory.


How I made this card-
  • This is made using various stages - the first being creating the background for both the tag and main topper.
  • The former was using Red, Blues and Purples Sparkle inks from Crafter's Companion - I just painted them in strips and let each dry before moving on.
  • For the main topper background, I used Jaquard Alcohol inks on a felt dauber (the rectangle ones) and added a few drops of red, green, blue,pink etc to it and "spread" it over a piece of transparent Yupo paper.
  • When it was dry and I was happy with it, I then used a Tattered Lace square (with a fancy edge) to cut a panel out - it measures approx 10cm/4".
  • I then stuck it to some white card and trimmed it to allow a narrow edge around it.
  • I had previously cut out a corner out of black pearlescent card (from Lisa Horton's Broken Tiles Botanical Dragonfly die set) and so I stuck it in the right hand corner (using PVA glue) leaving the top edge free  and glued the whole thing into the middle of a 6" Black pearlescent card.
  • Once the tag was dry, I stuck a second one to the back so that none of the ink showed through and then attached one of the toppers from the kit (the 2 fairies) again using PVA glue.
  • I also added a few drops of the glue to some of the fronds of the pocket and added the Time to Sparkle sentiment to it (making sure that there was no glue to stick the panel down).
  • Finally, I used 3 self adhesive gems on opposite corners to add a bit more detail.

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...
