Welcome to the world New Baby square card -  Day 219 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Today's card is a New Baby card which is made using a Tattered Lace die, some Zig Clear Color pens and a Kanban sentiment. How I made this card:- I first of all cut out the Rock a Bye baby die (from Tattered Lace) out of white card and then coloured it in using both water colour paints (what was left on my palette watered down) and also Zig Clean Color Pens which I brushed on to my glass mat and used a water brush to add detail to the die cut. Once I was happy with the colouring, I let it dry and then stuck it to a circle of black card(Tattered Lace Torn Edges) using Midas Touch Sticky dots. I then attached it a panel of light green and white checked card (either Kanban or Hunkydory) which I then edged in green and black alcohol marker so it makes it look like it is another layer. I used a wet glue to attach it to the left hand corner. I had some flower/leaves stamps (I...

Bee Happy - Bees and honey jar on 7x5in white card -  Day 177 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Well as it is sunny outside, I thought I would produce this bright and colourful card using some dies, stamps and alcohol markers. How I made this card:- I first of all cut out ornate frame (I think it is a Tattered Lace die) in white card and then the mat layer in black. I then used one of the bees stamps from the Bee Happy set from For The Love of Stamps by Hunkydory in Versafine Onyx Black ink and coloured the body in using orange and yellow Zig Clean Color pens. I also stamped the Bee Happy sentiment (adding the two stamps on to the acrylic block at the same time) again with the Versafine black ink. I then stuck the whole panel on to the front of a 7" x 5" white card (with the fold at the top) using Cosmic Shimmer PVA Glue. I used an Altenew green ink pad (I think it was either Parrot or Moss) to stamp the flower in each of the 4 corners. Using Vers...

Hoppy Easter rabbits and eggs in basket DL card -  Day 56 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Well it is really cold but sunny out so thought I would make this fun Easter card once again using For The Love of Stamps from Hunkydory and alcohol markers. How I made this card:- I first of all coloured the front of the card directly as I wanted to show its' linen effect. I used blue pigment inks - this time using Tim Holtz Ranger Distress inks for the sky (using a dauber instead of a sponge) and Altenew's green Parrot and Moss pigment inks for the grass. I put that aside to dry and cut out several of Tattered Lace Forest Pines Rose Hip Spry die in different shades of purple and green (I used Tattered Lace's Shades pads for this as they have a variety of colours in one place. I stuck them on to the left hand side of the using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue and trimmed them so they didn't hang over the edge of the card. I then stamped out the 2 different type...
