Happy Birthday - Mouse on abstract background A6 (A2) card

 Hi Craft addicts!

 I had so much fun making this card using just stamps and dies....


 How I made this card:-
  • The first thing I did was stamp the trapezoid leaf (small) stamp from Toni Darroch's Geo floral set 4 times on to white stamping card with Gina K Jet Black Amalgam ink - I really love these ink as it can be used with alcohol markers, water colours etc.
  • I coloured them in using a yellow alcohol marker and cut them out close to the edge. I then used a black alcohol marker around the edge. Stamps by Me do the accompanying dies to this collection but I didn't use it to do this.
  • I used the larger leaf and stamped it in each corner using Poppin' Pink and Screamin' Green Electro Pop Neon ink from Gina K - for other ideas as to how to use these inks, Gina K has produced a video here I did mix the colours in two corners and had alternate colours in the top right and bottom left ones.
  • I also stamped the smaller one on either side in the middle using the black ink.
  • I had cut out the teal frame (from Time for Tea's Best Fishes Banner & Border die set) and stuck it to the front of an A6 white card (it is an A2 size in the US).
  • I attached the Yellow & Black leaves to all the corners using PVA glue.
  • I cut out the Harvest mouse in dark brown card (I think it is either Lynda Chapman's or Core-dinations) using a Tattered Lace die and stuck it to the middle of the card using PVA glue.
  • Finally, I used the Happy and Birthday stamps from a Lawn Fawn sentiment collection, stamped them on to white card using the Jet Black ink and stuck them in opposite corners.

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...
