Have a Great Day! abstract flower on stencilled background 5"card

 Hi Craft addicts!

 Today's latest handmade card is a quick and easy, bright and cheerful 5" card that can be used for Birthdays and any other occasions too!


How I made this card:-
  • The card I used is a white 5" square card (could be from Hunkydory or Create & Craft)
  • I first of all coloured a piece of white cardstock (Rare Earth or Hunkydory) using Simon Hurley dye ink pads (Clear Skies and Remember Me which are blue), Rare Earth's Pineapple Crush (Yellow), Raspberry Fizz (red) and Apricot Dream (orange) blending them in as much as possible using the Brick stencil from Thirsty Brush.
  • I then used the same colours but only what was left on the daubers to colour some more white card.
  • I cut out a scalloped edge square using the 3rd largest die in one of the Creative Expressions sets (this has a pin dot detail along the scallops) with the darker piece of card.
  • Using the largest straight edged die from the same collection, I cut another square out in black card and stuck them together using PVA glue.
  • I then used one of the abstract flowers dies from Lynda Chapman's collection and cut the main flower out in the paler of the blended card and then the mat layer  out in black and again stuck them together, making sure that the petals didn't have any glue on them.
  • I stuck the main panel on to the front of a 5" white card and then the flower in the left hand corner.
  • I had previously used a rainbow selection of alcohol inks on a dauber to create a background on some transparent Yupo paper and thought it would go well with this card and so I stamped the Have a Great Day sentiment (I think it is from Hunkydory) on to some white card using Jet Black Altenew ink, cut round it and stuck it to the Yupo paper and then cut around that .
  • I added some foam tape to the back and stuck it in the bottom right hand corner.
  • Finally, I added a single drop of Black Nuvo drops to the centre of the flower.

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

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...
