To the best friend - flowers,butterfly and bee A6 card

 Hi Craft addicts!

 Today's card is the 2nd (or maybe 3rd) in a series of projects using the same stamp in different ways.... this time I have used black card and white embossing powder..


 How I made this card:-
  • I first of all used Versamark ink to stamp the Bold Blooms - Caroline flower spray onto some Black card (Lynda Chapman's) and then added some True White embossing powder and heat set it. 
  • Using the white pencil from the Chameleon set of crayons,I coloured in the flowers and then used a variety of other colours such as red,blue and green to finish them off.
  • I also added some green to the leaves and smaller blooms.
  • Once I was happy with the colouring, I then cut around it trying to leave an equal border around the image.
  • I then attached it to the front of an A6 white card using PVA glue.
  • I had previously coloured a background using alcohol inks and I cut out the Butterfly from one of the dies from The Paper Boutique Butterfly Embellishments set and stuck it to the bottom left hand corner again using PVA glue.
  • I cut the Bee out using another of the Paper Boutique set of dies (there are 3 each), but I just used the body and cut that out in black, and then the block body/wings in Orange card (from Create & Craft's Core Collection).
  • I attached the black part to the orange using PVA glue and then cut out a strip of acetate and folded it into an M shape and used 2 pieces of red liner tape to stick it to the card.
  • Finally, I stamped the sentiment on to some white stamping card using Gina K Black Amalgam ink, fussy cut around it and added it to the middle of the card using foam pads.

  • A6 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...
