  Hi Craft addicts! Today's latest card for my mini challenge within a challenge is this A7 card using dies, stamps and inks...       The card is once again from Hunkydory and I rounded the corners with one of their punches. I then took a piece of purple card/paper and fussy cut it to fit the front of the card and stuck it on the front using a tape pen rather than PVA glue. I used Creative Expressions Pixie powders to create the background by tapping some of their brilliant colours on to some watercolour card and spritzed it with some water and let it dry. Whilst that was happening I die cut the rectangle frame (medium sized one from Tonic Studios) several times in white card and glued them together. I then edged it with a black alcohol marker. I stamped out the balloons and bear on to some white cardstock using the Birthday bear boy collection from Crafter's Companion Gemini collection, again using Gina K Obsidian Black ink. I coloured them in using the Spectrum Noi...

  Hi Craft addicts! Today's latest mini challenge is this set of 4 different A7 cards using dies, stamps and hand coloured backgrounds. All the cards are A7  and come with matching envelopes and you can get them from Hunkydory and all the corners have been punched in a variety of ways using a Kit n Caboodle punch (apart from the bottom one which hasn't been) Card 1 (Top left) I cut out the Balloon and rabbit out (Woodland Celebrations dies from Sizzix) using both Lynda Chapman's Black card and Sheena Douglass Willow White card. I added the white part of the balloon to give the impression of a shadow towards the top left using a Tape pen. I had created a background using pastel hybrid inks (Tim Holtz Distress Oxide, Crafter's Companion Harmony and Nuvo ink pads). cut it out using a stitched effect die and stuck a narrow panel to the left hand side of the card and trimmed it to fit. I then added some black dots using a black alcohol marker. I glued the balloon, rabbit and...

Hi Craft addicts! Today's latest card is a part of a challenge within my 365 day challenge and I wondered how detailed I could make this A7 card.... I first of all rounded the corners of the A7 card which I got from Hunkydory using their punch. I then coloured a piece of white stamping card with my blue shades within the InkLily Glimmer pens (though you can't see the shimmer in the picture) and cut it a pin pricked edged rectangle die (think it was either Lisa Horton or Creative Expressions). I edged it with a black alcohol marker and then added it to some green linen effect card (Crafter's Companion or Sizzix) and fussy cut around it to fit the front of the card and then edged it with the black alcohol marker. I had previously cut out the Go Camping outline die from Crafter's Companion in Black card and rather than use it as a Pop up element, I snipped it into the various parts and stuck them on to the card to make a camping scene. I then stamped the Why not? sentiment...

Hello Sloth on a tree shrink plastic A7 card -  Day 246 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Today's card for my challenge is one using a hand coloured background I made using Yupo paper, a stamp from Sweet Dixie, Shrink plastic and a Tattered Lace Die (amongst other things..) How I made this card:- I first of all stamped out the Sloth (from Sweet Dixie) on to the rough side of a sheet of Shrink Plastic using Black Stazon as you need it to dry quickly so you can colour it in. Once it was dry, I coloured it using shades of brown and green alcohol markers again leaving it to dry for a bit before cutting round it. I then used my heat gun to shrink it down and once it had stopped curling, I bashed it with the top of my ink pad (I must admit I still haven't quite got the hang of using Shrink Plastic but must keep on at it!!). I left it to cool down and started using some Spectra's Bleeding Art Tissue - this time adding various colours to a glass mat (spri...
