New Baby silhouette of Tigger on hand coloured background card

Hi Craft addicts!

I made this card to give to someone who had just had a baby and what can be better than excitable Tigger on a hand coloured background with stamps from Bert n Gert and dies from Tattered Lace.


How I made this card:-
  • To make the background, I first of all cut out the Tree in silhouette die (from Tattered Lace) in black card.
  • I then used some white stamping card (or you could use watercolour card if you want a more textured effect) and painted it with orange, yellow, pink and red paints, blending them in to create a sunset.
  • Once it was dry, I placed the tree silhouette over it, stuck it on using PVA glue and trimmed it to fit (I also edged it with black so you couldn't see any white card).
  • I then die cut out the Tigger figure out in an orange card, and then placed it on some black so you can see the stripes through it. 
  • I also used some alcohol markers to create shading on him.
  • Before attaching the background panel to the front of a 7" x 5" white card, I stamped the Congratulations sentiment at the top (using Gina K Obsidian Black ink) and then used an alphabet stamp set from Bert n Gerts and stamped the New Baby down the side - I repeated the B once I knew where it need to go.
  • I stuck the background panel just below the Congratulations with PVA glue and then added the Tigger to it using foam pads to give dimension.

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...
