See Everything... eye and bubbles abstract style DL card...

See Everything... eye and bubbles abstract style  DL card... Hi Craft addicts! This is a brilliant new stamp from Visible Image and I had to have a play with it to make this DL card... How I made this card:- I used the Tattered Lace Torn Edge Rectangle dies and cut out 2 different sizes of card - the smaller one in white and the larger one in the bright yellow card which is in the Core Collection Linen effect pack from Create & Craft. I stamped the See Everything image on to the white rectangle using Black Gina K Amalgam ink. I then masked off the eye and some of the bubbles with Cosmic Shimmer Masking Fluid and let it dry. Once it was, I used three shades of Prism ink (French Navy, Arctic Mist and Blue Lagoon),using the lightest one at the top and blending the colours towards the bottom with the darker colours. When it was dry (you can use a heating tool to do this),I rubbed the masking fluid away - I think I will use a different way this time as it doesn't ...

Because You're Amazing... abstract bubbles square blue card

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...

Birthday Wishes... abstract stars A6 cream deckle edge card

Birthday Wishes... abstract stars  A6 cream deckle edge card Hi Craft addicts! I have been playing with Alcohol inks on Yupo paper (it has a great effect) and wondered what I could do with the background I had made and came up with this card... How I made this card:- I first of all took a pre cut panel of 5" x 7" Ranger Translucent Yupo paper (it is synthetic and recyclable which makes it more environmentally friendly) and added a variety of alcohol inks (again Ranger) on to it to create a varied background - see below for one like it.... I then left it to dry (though it does do that almost immediately) and then used the Synergy Die (Paper Piece 5) from Toni Darroch's Stamp by Me Range to cut it out - I did add a sheet of paper over it as I didn't want any of the colour to come off it so made 2 for the price of one! As the die itself is about 8", the die-cut had a lot of edges "open" so decided to trim three of the stars out of i...

Thanks .. You're one in a million square card with hand coloured panels - Day 205 of my 365 day challenge

Thanks .. You're one in a million square card with hand coloured panels - Day 205 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Today's card for my challenge is this hand coloured square card that I have made using a mix of Tattered Angels Color Wash paints and Glimmer Mists along with some Brea Reese paints too. How I made this card:- I have loads of these white pre-cut 67mm deckle edge panel (from Craft Creations) and thought I would try out using the various colours in the Tattered Angels Color Wash paint and Glimmer Mist sprays along with some colours from Brea Reese Watercolour inks.  I coloured each panel with various shades of green, green and gold, red, orange, pink and purple and lastly one with a mix of all of them. Once I was happy with the colour, I put them aside and let them dry. When dry, I stuck them to a layer of black card (Lynda Chapman's) and placed a strip of vellum/parchment across the centre of it (using tape on the back). I then stamped...

Gift bag with abstract elephant, girl and paper flowers -  Day 197 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Today's project for day 197 of my 365 day challenge is slightly different as I found a Kraft bag and thought I would use it to make this gift bag... How I made this project:- I first of all took some white stamping card and added some Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Sprays - as you can see I used Orange, Blue, Yellow and Gold (randomly sprayed) and then added some of their Color Wash Inks. It was only after that I had dried it off and was turning it around that I could see the elephant in it (I hope you can).  I then added it to some black card (I used Lynda Chapman's from Creative Crafting World) and trimmed it leaving a narrow border.  I used some Versamagic ink to add some elephants and words on to a 200x260mm (approx) Kraft coloured Gift bag and left it to dry. Once it was, I stuck the elephant panel on to it using fingerlift tape.  I also...

Thanks XOXO gift card (CD Sleeve) hand stamped with bling - Day 143 of my 365 day challenge

Thanks XOXO gift card (CD Sleeve) hand stamped with bling -  Day 143 of my 365 day challenge HI Craft addicts! I have had these recycled CD sleeves for some time and thought it was about time I put them to good use so have made this gift card using Altenew stamps, some embossing powder and some bling! How I made this project:- I first of all made up the CD sleeve (which I got from Eco-Crafts) by using some strong tape. I added some lines to create a border using a black alcohol marker. Altenew have brought out the Watercolour dots set of stamps and so I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks (various colours to create a rainbow effect) over the block stamp and placed a piece of white stamping card over it. After it had dried a bit, I then used the stripes and stars stamps and stamped over some of them using Onyx Black Versafine ink. I then cut it out to fit inside the frame and stuck it using a Tape pen. I used the label tag dies (2 different sizes) to cut out the large...
