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. ...

Well done... butterflies on striped background black 6" card Hi Craft addicts! I hope you all had a great weekend - it is a bit too stuffy and hot for me but shouldn't complain! - Here my latest handmade card for #MonochromeMonday and I have made it using Paper Boutique dies and Hunkydory backing papers... How I made this card:- I first of all cut out the largest mat layer out of the teal and white striped paper (from Hunkydory) and then the butterfly frame from the reverse side of the same paper using The Paper Boutique Forever Friends Doily Die. I then stuck them together using PVA glue. I also cut out the smaller circle within the set, this time in white card. I already had a circle frame previously cut out in black card and I used that to separate the background layers from the white circle. I had also created the Well Done sentiment topper using teal self adhesive paper on black card and so I decided to add that to the centre of the card using some foam pa...

Wishing you a Bright and Happy Day Stag in silhouette square card Hi Craft addicts! I do love these animal silhouettes from Crafter's Companion and so  made this Birthday card using a background I created using Tim Holtz Distress Crayons. How I made this card:- I first of all used various Tim Holtz Distress Crayons (Orange, Yellow, Brown and Pink) to create the background.  I blended it in using a paintbrush and some water and let it dry. I then used one of the Tattered Lace Deckle edge Oval dies (I had measured it against the Deer die to make sure it fitted) and cut the background layer out. I cut out the Deer/Stag die using Black card and stuck it to the background layer using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue. I had previously scored the top and bottom of a 6" square pearlescent card several times and placed the oval background towards the top of the card and stuck it down again using the PVA glue. I stamped the Wishing You a bright & happy day sentiment (from P...

Because You're Amazing... abstract bubbles square  blue card Hi Craft addicts! Well it is #TesselatingTuesday here and so have made this really bright and cheerful card using just one die, some alcohol markers and a Sentiment stamp from Honey Bee Stamps. How I made this card:- I used the Circular Dreams die set by Lisa Horton from Creative Expressions and cut the bubble duo (frame and inner design) out twice using Black Core Collections Linen effect card from Create and Craft. I risked it and cut the two dies out at the same time so I knew it would be a proper fit... I also cut out the main background layer out twice, this time using White card. I did wonder how I would use them but decided to glue the main design on to the white card and see what came! Inspiration (of sorts) arrived, and I coloured one lot of the bubbles using a red alcohol marker, and the other with a blue one. I then trimmed around both of them leaving a narrow border and glued them to opposit...
