Beautifully Wicked - Witches inspired from Wizard of Oz characters DL card

Hi Craft Addicts!

 I had great fun using these stamps from Visible Image - I think I am going to try it with a darker background too soon as I think it could work with both.


How I made this card:-
  • To make the background, I measured a piece of white stamping card (I used Hunkydory's Ink Me 8" paper pad) so that it fitted the front of a DL card with a narrow border all around (approx 2.5" x 5.5") and painted it with Dreamees Dinkie Inkies Sparkle watercolour inks - especially  Phlox, Rosey (I know it isn't the right spelling but that is what it says) Cheeks and Sunset blending them all in so that the darker colours were at the top and the brighter ones at the bottom.
  • To create the cloud effect, I used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks - Picked Raspberry and Candied Apple.
  • I heat dried it on the back and front, smoothing it down when it curled over. 
  • I then stamped the smaller, silhouette witch from Visible Image's Oz Wicked Witch stamp set (inspired by the Wizard of Oz) on to the panel using Gina K Obsidian Black ink - as you can see, it gave the ones stamped on top of the Distress Oxide a more spooky effect which I liked.
  • I then edged the whole panel with a Black alcohol marker and stuck it to the front of a white linen effect DL card using Glue-it Glue from Pinflair but any PVA glue will do.
  • I used Gina K ink to stamp the larger Witch ink on to some white card (again Hunkydory's Ink Me) and coloured it in using their Prism Watercolour pencils). 
  • Once that was dry, I cut around it leaving a small white border and then attached it to the middle of the card using foam pads to give it some dimension.
  • I also stamped the Beautifully Wicked sentiment on to some white card with the Gina K ink cut around it so it looked like a cloud, stuck it to some black card, cut around that and then attached it to the bottom right hand corner 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...
