Zentangle Abstract fish Birthday card....

Hi Craft addicts!

Today's card was great fun to make using a stamp and some alcohol markers....



 How I made this card:-
  • These stamps from Imala (an amalgamation between Carley Duff and Toni Darroch) are large so you do need a large stamping platform to stamp them out.
  • I used Gina K Black amalagam ink to stamp it out on to some White stamping card.
  • I coloured it in using a variety of alcohol markers - Crafter's Companion Tri-blends, their normal markers, trying to give some parts a 3D effect.
  • Once I was happy with how I coloured it in, I cut it out leaving a very narrow white border around it.
  • The Blue and White diagonal striped paper is from Paper Dienamics and comes in their set of checks, spots and stripes. I cut it to fit the front of a 5" x 7" Black pearlescent card and attached it using Pinflair's Glue-it glue.
  • I then cut a strip of Black card (about 3/4") that was just the width of the background and stuck it to the middle of the card using the same glue.
  • I glued the fish to the front of the card. placing it towards the top as I didn't want the sentiment to cover it.
  • Finally, I took one of the Birthday sentiments in the old Craftwork Cards Year of Sentiments pad, edged it with a Black alcohol marker and stuck it to the bottom left hand corner with some foam pads.
And there you are a quick and easy card that you could used to say thank you - but you could add any sentiment you wish to it.

Merry Christmas to all circle Christmas Card - 365 day challenge

  Hi Craft addicts! Today's latest handmade card for my 365 day challenge is this one made totally from scratch. I used the largest circle (about 4") Petit Picot edge die from Spellbinders and cut out two pieces of card - the front is Paper Dienamic Metallink A4 card and the back part is Sheena Douglass A4 white willow card. I scored the back part about 3/4" towards the top and married the two pieces together and added some red liner tape, removed the carrier sheet and stuck them to each other. The black frame is cut out of Lynda Chapman's Black card using the Inverted Scallop die from Crafter's Companion Gemini collection and I stuck it to the front of the card using a dotty pen as it allows the glue to only go on places it needs to. I had a scrap piece of red cardstock and I cut the oval bauble (from Creative Expressions Sue Wilson Festive Collection Sparkle Baubles set) and then used silver mirror card to cut out the top part. I glued them both to the card usin...

Congrats... square card - 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!       Today's latest handmade card for my 365 day challenge is this Congratulations stamp and some patterned paper. I must admit i can't remember who produced this patterned paper but think it is Paper Boutique from Creative Crafting World.. I rounded the corners of a 5" white square card and thought I would use it as a tent fold (that is with the fold at the top). I then cut out a piece of this foliage patterned paper so that there was a narrow border left when I placed it on the front of the card. Instead of adding a layer of black card behind it, I edged it with a Black alcohol marker and stuck it on using a tape runner pen - so many companies now do them or you could used  a light layer of PVA glue. I then cut a narrow panel (about 2") of the same paper so that it fitted the card and then stuck it to a slightly wider panel of Lynda Chapman's Black cardstock and stuck that to the card slightly left of the card front. I then placed the bird and...

There's Gnome one quite like you 7x5 inch card - 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!       Today's latest handmade card for my 365 day challenge is a fun one using a mix of dies and stamps.. I first of all stamped out the Forest Gnome stamp from Francoise Reads collection by Woodware Stamps (part of the Creative Expressions company) using Gina K Obsidian Black ink. I coloured it in using Crafter's Companion Spectrum Noir Triblenders and cut each element out as I decided I wanted to use them separately to make up my design. I then cut out the Cracks and Pots dies from Carnation Crafts in white watercolour card and again coloured them in using a variety of the Triblenders until I was happy with the blending. I coloured a small panel of white stamping card (approximately 5" x 4") with Tim Holtz Salty Ocean Distress Oxide for the sky and then a green ink from Simon Hurley - both from Ranger. I edged it with a black alcohol marker and glued it to the front of a 7" x 5" top fold white card using PVA glue. I then stuck on the gnom...
