Sending love your way... DL card - 365 day challenge

By -

 Hi Craft addicts!     

Today's handmade card for my 365 day challenge is a fun New Home card featuring a toadstool.

  • I first of all stamped out the toadstool image (from Dylusions) on to some white card - I placed the stamp on my desk, inked it with Gina K Obsidian Black ink and then placed the card over it making sure the image came out ok.
  • I then coloured it in using a mix of Spectrum Noir Tri-blend markers - red, browns and yellows until I was happy with the result and cut around it trying to cut on the black line.
  • I used a scissors to open the door leaving a bit uncut so it opened.
  • For the background I coloured some Willow White Sheena Douglass cardstock using Ink Lily Winter Glitter pens (which have gold glimmer in them but can't be seen in the pic).
  • I also created another background using a piece of yellow cardstock from a Tattered Lace Halloween collection and spritzed it with a variety of Aladine's Izinks sprays to create a brownish background.
  • I cut both of the above so that they fitted the front of a DL card (from either Hunkydory or Paper Boutique), the corners of which I had rounded using a Prism punch (from Hunkydory) - I used a tape pen to stick them both together and attached them to the front of the card.
  • I then used PVA glue to stick the toadstool to the front of the card and a foam pad in the door way to keep it slightly open.
  • The Gnome girl is a stamp from Crafter's Companion (Gnome Girl from their Nature's Garden Christmas gnome collection) which I stamped on to some white card, coloured it in using Spectrum Noir Triblender markers and cut around it.
  • I added it to the bottom right hand corner with some foam pads.
  • Finally I stamped the sentiment (from Carnation Crafts) using Gina K Obsidian Black ink, fussy cut around it and then stuck it to a piece of white card that I had coloured pink with some Aladine Izinks pigment inks. 
  • I fussy cut around that and then added it to the middle part of the card using some foam pads.

So if you think this sounds interesting then why not:-

Sending Love.. cute kids with heart 7x5in card - 365 Day challenge

  Hi Craft addicts! Well today's card is one that would be great for Valentine's Day and makes use of both dies and stamps! I had cut the backing layer for another project but didn't use it so decided to use it with this one. It is a Rose Gold colour Mirror card and the die is from Stamps By Me (I think). I attached it to the front of a 7" x 5" white card using fingerlift tape as I didn't want to have any glue showing. I stamped the cute kids image out on to some white stamping card using Gina K Obsidian Black ink - the stamp is from Bring on the Boys collection from Linnie Pink I coloured them in using Crafter's Companion Spectrum Noir Triblenders as they make colouring in so easy with the 3 shades in one pen. I used blue and green Distress Oxide inks for the background and then edged it with a black alcohol marker. Using Hunkydory's Prism Corner round puncher for both the main card and the topper, I rounded the edges. I again used Fingerlift tape to ...

Hummingbird shadow effect on C6 white card -  Day 267 of my 366 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Today's challenge (day 267) came about after I had cut out the "Songbird" die from the Couture collection and thought it would be really useful as a stencil using some inks. To make the topper:- I had cut out the "Songbird" die (from Couture by Create and Craft) out in white card and thought that it would make a really good stencil to use as a background. I took one of the Stamping card tags from Craftwork Cards (in the " Stamping Must haves ) collection and coloured over the die-cut in various places (also reversing it so the bird was looking the other way).I used a variety of green ink pads - Tm Holtz " Mowed Lawn " and Generation INX G01. Once I was happy with it, I then edged the tag using the " JG1 " green Spectrum Noir alcohol marker. To make the background for the card:- I cut out a piece of "foli...

Relax, Calm Unwind 6in black pearlescent card -  Day 265 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! The rain has finally stopped and so I have made this simple but effective card using stamps and dies... How I made this card:- I used one of Tattered Lace Floral Wreath dies to cut out the main topper in white card. I then coloured it with various shades of green alcohol markers and when I was happy with it, I stuck it to some Gold Mirri Card (approximately 3" square) and then using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue (or Gina K's Connect glue) I attached it to the front of a 6" black pearlescent card which is part of the Core Collection from Create & Craft so it formed a diamond shape. Using Orange, Red and Yellow Bleeding Art Tissue, I coloured some card and when it was dry I used a Tattered Lace Nested Beads Essential Circle Dies to die cut a circle. I used the Relax, Calm and Unwind sentiment from Thirsty Brush & Co to stamp it on to the circle using Versa...
