Hallowe'en Mini A7 cards - 365 day challenge

By -

 Hi Craft addicts!     

Today's project are two mini cards I created using dies, stamps and Ink Lily Glimmer pens...

     
For both cards

  • I used A7 cards from Hunkydory and rounded the corners using a Hunkydory punch.
  • I also used Tonic Studios Rectangle tag die to cut out about 8 pieces in white cardstock and stuck them all together. You can use black card such as Lynda Chapman's (from Creative Crafting World) 
  • The backgrounds are also made the same way for both cards using the Summer collection of Ink Lily Glimmer pens - you can't see how great the sparkle is from the photo unfortunately.
  • I then added some trees and birds in silhouette using a Black fineliner pen and added them to the two A7 cards - one landscape and one portrait. With the former one I trimmed the loop so it fitted the card.
  • Both the Dracula figure and the pumpkin are from the For The Love of Stamps Halloween set that came out last year and so I stamped them on to some white card using Gina K Obsidian Black ink.
  • I coloured them in using both Spectrum Noir Tri-blender markers and Prisma pencils and then fussy cut around them leaving a narrow white border around them.
Card No. 1 (Left)
  • I attached the Dracula figure to the bottom right hand corner with a tape pen.
  • I also stamped the sentiment out from a Sizzix Halloween collection again using Gina K Obsidian Black ink, added it to some orange and then black cardstock having fussy cut around them all and stuck it to the middle of the card again with a tape pen.
Card No. 2 (Right)
  • I attached the Pumpkin to the bottom right hand corner of the tag using a tape pen.
  • I then cut out the Spooky sentiment (from Sweet Dixie) out using Lynda Chapman's Black card and stuck it to the bottom left hand corner with tape pen.

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

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...
