Seeing is Believing.... for a special friend A5 scalloped edge card

 Hi Craft addicts!

 Today's card I made using the Seeing stamp from Visible Image, a resist technique and some stamping... if you want to read more then see below!



 How I made this card:-
  • I first of all took a piece of white card (approx 5" x 4") and stamped the eye image in the middle of it with Versamark ink (I had used an anti-static bag beforehand to get rid of any grease etc).
  • Once I was happy that it had stamped the whole image (if you use a stamping platform then you can make sure that this is done) - I covered it with white embossing powder and heat set it.
  • I then used a variety of dye based ink pads (blues, yellows, pinks and red) to cover the whole piece of card until I liked the effect and then cut it using the largest die in the3 Monza set from Tattered Lace.
  • I used a piece of kitchen roll to clean any excess ink from the eye image. I also used some blue Tim Holtz Distress Crayon to colour the pupil in.
  • I attached the whole panel on to some cream/ivory linen effect card and trimmed around the edge so only a bit of it showed.
  • Once that had been done, I put it in to the Skinny Woodgrain Embossing folder (by Creative Expressions) and embossed it using my Gemini machine.
  • I stuck the whole panel in the centre of an A5 scalloped edged white card using a PVA Glue. I had edged both pieces with a black alcohol marker before placing them.
  • Sometimes i like the sentiments in stamp sets more than the main image and it is the case with this one - I used the To a Special Friend message from the Enchanting Foxglove set from Crafter's Companion to stamp on to some white card (this time I used the Jet Black ink mini cube from Altenew) and cut round it for a wavy effect.
  • I edged it with some blue ink and then attached it to the bottom right hand corner of the card with 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...
