With Love & Best Wishes... Sunken galleon on sparkly glitter background A6 card

 Hi Craft addicts!

 I bought the set of sparkly glitter inks from Spectrum Noir some time ago and hadn't used them so thought I better had and decided to make this under the sea card....


How I made this card:-

  • I first of all cut a piece of white stamping card (either Hunkydory's Ink Me or Rare Earth are great) and taped it on to an old chopping board (far better use for me than actual cooking) using low tack tape.
  • I then took the Spectrum Noir Sparkle inks (Blue Topaz, Aquamarine and Pink Garnet) and painted the entire card. I used a heat gun to dry it but then left it to dry naturally.
  • Once it was totally dry, I flattened it out and trimmed it to 3" x 5" (approx) so that it would fit an A6 card.
  • I then used the Galleon wreck, Anchor and seaweed images from the You're a Treasure stamp collection from For The Love of Stamps and stamped them on to the bottom of the panel using Black Gina K Amalgam ink - I had used an anti static bag first of all as I wanted to add some clear Embossing powder to the ship - which I then heat set using a heat gun.
  • I took the "With Love & Best Wishes" sentiment from the same collection, this time with Versamagic, added some white Embossing powder to it and heated it up with my heat gun - still (like so many people always find it magical when it changes from powder to a "solid").
  • Finally, I edged the whole panel using a Bright Blue alcohol marker and then stuck it on to the front of an A6 cream deckle edge card.
Products used for this card:-
  • A6 Cream Deckle edge card with envelope
  • You're A Treasure For the Love of Stamps collection from Hunkydory
  • Sparkle Inks from Spectrum Noir by Crafter's Companion
  • White stamping/Ink Me card - from Hunkydory or Rare Earth
  • White Embossing Powder
  • Clear Embossing Powder
  • Versamagic ink pad
  • Gina K Black Amalgam ink
  • Heat Gun (mine is a DoCrafts one)

  • Collall All Purpose 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...
