Well done... butterflies on striped background black 6" card

Hi Craft addicts!

 I hope you all had a great weekend - it is a bit too stuffy and hot for me but shouldn't complain! - Here my latest handmade card for #MonochromeMonday and I have made it using Paper Boutique dies and Hunkydory backing papers...


How I made this card:-
  • I first of all cut out the largest mat layer out of the teal and white striped paper (from Hunkydory) and then the butterfly frame from the reverse side of the same paper using The Paper Boutique Forever Friends Doily Die.
  • I then stuck them together using PVA glue.
  • I also cut out the smaller circle within the set, this time in white card.
  • I already had a circle frame previously cut out in black card and I used that to separate the background layers from the white circle.
  • I had also created the Well Done sentiment topper using teal self adhesive paper on black card and so I decided to add that to the centre of the card using some foam pads to give it some height.
  • Finally, I had made the butterfly embellishment using card that I had painted using alcohol inks and then cut out using a Butterfly die. 
Products used for this card:-
  • 6" Black pearlescent card with a white envelope from the Core Collection from Create & Craft
  • Paper Boutique Forever Friends Doily Die collection (from Creative Crafting World)
  • Paper Boutique Butterfly Embellishments collection (from Creative Crafting World)
  • Well Done sentiment  - not sure which Paper Boutique set it came from
  • Stripes double sided 8" paper pad from For The Love of Stamps by Hunkydory
  • Black card
  • White stamping card
  • Alcohol inks
  • Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue or Pinflair Glue it glue
  • Collall All Purpose glue
  • Foam Pads

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...
