Happy Birthday Sandy Lace flowers in silhouette a6 card

 Hi Craft addicts!

Today's latest handmade card is a quick and easy one using a Tattered Lace die, some dye based inks and a Happy Birthday stamp....


How I made this card:-
  • I had previously used a Stamps By Me die to cut out a flower topper but kept the "waste" and thought I would use it as a stencil to colour the front of an A6 white card.
  • So I used several shades of blue (Altenew and Tim Holtz Distress inks) to colour through it, moving the flowers around the card to give different effects and then lighter blues to create highlights.
  • I then cut out the Sandy Lace dies out (it is a Tattered Lace one) - the main part in black and the background in white card.
  • I then used the same inks to colour the latter card in to create a sky effect, using a circle of card to mask off part of the top left hand corner, I coloured over it, so when I took it away I had left the moon behind (so to speak). I only used a little ink nearest to it so it looks like the light is coming from it.
  • I stuck the main topper to the background using a PVA glue and then attached the whole thing to the front of the card.
  • Finally, I stamped out the Happy Birthday sentiment (from an old Craftwork Cards set) on to some white card using blue Altenew ink, cut around it and added it to the bottom right hand corner of the card using foam pads.
  • Products used in this project

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...
