Something beautiful...horizon landscape at sunset 7x5in card

 Hi Craft addicts!

 I was really pleased with how this card turned out and it was fairly simply to do too using just stamps and some inks.


 How I made this card:-
  • I created the sunrise/sunset background paper using Orange, Yellow and Red dye based and Distress Inks (from Tim Holtz, Prism or Rare Earth). I tried to blend them in so that it looked as if the sunrise or sunset was just happening. I used white stamping card for this part which measured 3" x 4.5"
  • Once I was happy with it, I edged it with a black alcohol marker so I didn't have to add another layer to the card.
  • I then stamped the trees stamp (from Rare Earth) on to the bottom half of the background using Gina K Jet Black ink (as it takes both watercolour and solvent based products).
  • To colour the trees in, I used a couple of green alcohol markers ( you could also use water colour paints too). 
  • I found the flock of birds stamp in another of my collection (I think it is a Pretty Quick one) and stamped it a couple of times with the same Black ink.
  • The birds towards the right of the trees were smudges to be honest but they do look like birds in the distance :) 
  • I then stamped the moon in the top right hand corner off the edge of the paper so you can only see a part of it.
  • I used a lovely sentiment stamp (I think it is from Stamps by Me but could be wrong) and stamped it above the trees, using the same ink as before.
  • I used Collall All Purpose Glue to stick the whole panel on to the front of a 7" x 5" side fold white card.
Products used in this project
  • White 7" x 5" side fold card - available from various suppliers such as Toni Darroch's Stamp by Me or Lynda Chapman's World of Paper
  • Rural landscape stamp set from Rare Earth
  • Landscape images from Pretty Quick

  • White stamping card - Ink Me from Hunkydory, Rare Earth's Own brand or Lynda Chapman's  World of Paper work really well

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...
