Vintage Airplane A6 card with ATC style topper/fridge magnet

 Hi Craft addicts!

 Today's card is something slightly different as I had made this ATC style coin (my 2nd attempt) and thought it would great as part of this A6 card using the Sharon Callis stamp.


 How I made this card-
  • This is made using various stages - the first being making the ATC style coin topper.
  • I first of all used White Gesso to cover it and let it dry between each coat.
  • I then took some Lavender Blue & Blue Parakeet (it is Green) Cosmic Shimmer Opal Polishes and created the sea/sky effect.
  • I then inked just the pilot part of the Airplane stamp (from Sharon Callis) using Black Amalgam Gina K ink and placed the MDF coin over it - I wasn't too concerned that it wasn't too distinct as I think it gives it a "ghostly" effect.
  • I used the same ink to cover the whole of the stamp (it is slightly smaller than A6) and placed a piece of A6 White card over it and used my hand to make sure the image had come through - you could use a stamping platform to repeat the process if it didn't straight away).
  • I then coloured the sky etc using Hunkydory's Prism Blue Lagoon ink cube.
  • I used an alcohol marker (Spectrum Noir's EG1) to colour the aeroplane in.
  • I trimmed the whole panel down a fraction and then stuck it to some Holographic Mirri card (from Hunkydory), edged it with a black alcohol marker and then trimmed that so there was a very narrow border.
  • Using Collall All Purpose Glue, I stuck it to the front of a top fold A6 white card - I used Collall as it allowed me some wiggle time to get it in the right place.
  • Finally, I added a hook and eye set to where the Pilot was and then attached the MDF circle to that - you could also add a strip of fridge magnet material to make it adaptable. 
Products used for these projects:-
  • A6 White Card and envelope
  • MDF ATC Coin or small circle (this one is 2" in diameter)
  • Sharon Callis Airplane stamp
  • White card A6 size - from Rare Earth
  • Holographic Mirri Card from Hunkydory
  • Black alcohol marker
  • EB1 Alcohol marker from Spectrum Noir
  • Blue Lagoon Prism ink cube from Hunkydory
  • Blue Parakeet and Lavender Blue Opal Polishes from Cosmic Shimmer (Creative Expressions)
  • Black Amalgam ink from Gina K
  • Collall All Purpose Glue
  • Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue
  • Hook & loop set
  • Fridge Magnet sheet

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...
