Just fur you... geometric dog A6 card - 365 day challenge

By -

Hi Craft addicts!

I hope all is well with you! Here is another card for my 365 day challenge -  I hope you like it!

  • I placed some Wild Spider self adhesive sheet on the reverse of Lynda Chapman's Black card and cut out the Geometric Dog out of it.
  • I then attached it to some white card after removing the backing sheet. I burnished it with a bone folder to make sure it was firmly attached to it.
  • Once I had done that, I took one of Tattered Lace Torn Edge rectangle dies and cut around the white card leaving a narrow border around the dog.
  • I coloured the dog in using 3 shades of brown colouring pencils from Stabilo - they really are great to colour in and they do blend a bit too!
  • Once I was happy with the result, I then coloured around the dog using some Salty Ocean Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks and then edged it with a black alcohol marker.
  • The blue card/paper is from Crafter's Companion Textured 12x12" pad and I stuck the white card to it and cut around it trying to replicate the torn edge.
  • I scored each side of the front of an A6 white card using my Hunkydory Scoreboard and then stuck the whole topper to it using PVA glue.
  • I used the bone and Just for you sentiment stamps from Crafter's Companion Gemini Twirling Dog set - the bone stamped directly on to the topper using Gina K Obsidian Black ink and then the actual sentiment on to some white card and then black and added it to the bottom right hand corner with foam strips.

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...
