Celebrate your Birthday cute girl on abstract background 
7x5 landscape card

 Hi Craft addicts!

 I have had the rainbow cardstock from Kanban for ages and thought I better try and use it up so decided to use it with this cute girl image from Tattered Lace.


How I made this card:-
  • I cut about 2" off the front of a 5" x 7" white landscape card with either a paper trimmer or guillotine.
  • I then attached some medium width ultra strong red liner tape to the edge and another to the back edge (which is now showing through).
  • I took off the protective backing off the front one and then added some Glitter flakes (Honey Doo Sunrise) and pressed it into the glue and continued do that until I couldn't feel any stickiness to the touch.
  • I then burnished it to remove any excess flakes with a brush and then repeated the process on the back part of the card.
  • I cut the rainbow abstract design card using a Rectangle picot edged die (I think this is a Tattered Lace one) and stuck it to the front of the card using PVA glue.
  • I cut the little girl out from a Tattered Lace die and stuck it to the centre of the card again using PVA glue.
  • I then stamped out the sentiment (3 different stamps) in to the middle of a previously stamped banner shape (all from Creative Expressions). I used Altenew Jet Black ink and as soon as it was dry, I coloured it in using green, red and yellow ink pads (there are so many available now that you can use any that are blendable) - I used these colours as I thought they would match the ones in the main background.
  • I then edged it with a black alcohol marker and added it to the back of the card using 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...
