  Hi Craft addicts!       Today's handmade card for my 365 day challenge is a DL card using watercolour paints and a rubber stamp. I took a panel of white cardstock approximately 1.5" smaller than the front of a DL card and painted it with Be Creative Metallic watercolour paints to create a landscape background - green shades for the bottom half and blue ones for the sky. I then let it dry for a bit and took the family scene rubber stamp from Creative Expressions Designer Boutique collection, inked it with some of Gina K's Obsidian Black ink and placed the cardstock directly on top of it rather than putting it first on an acrylic block. As it wasn't totally covered I used a Black Alcohol marker to fill some of it in. I then rounded the corners of the panel and stuck it with a tape pen to some blue cardstock which has a linen effect on one side - Crafter's Companion, American Crafts. Sizzix all produce a variety of sizes and colours. I fussy cut around it and this t...

  Hi Craft addicts!       Today's latest handmade card for my 365 day challenge is this large flower card - I hope you like it! I first of all took a piece of white card and painted the background using various pinks, yellows and greens Be Creative Twilights watercolour paints (they are metallic which is hard to see in the photo). Once it was dry, I placed the cardstock in a stamping platform and stamped the large flower stamp from Stamps by Me with Gina K Obsidian Black ink. I then added the leaves by stamping the image several times around the flower again using the Gina K ink. Once I had finished the stamping, I rounded the corners using my Prism punch and attached it to some purple textured card (from Crafter's Companion) using PVA glue. I also rounded the corners with the same punch and stuck it to the front of a 7" square card (again rounding the corners). I used the So Happy for you sentiment stamp on some white stamping card, cut around it with a wavy edge an...

Hi Craft addicts!       Today's latest handmade card would be great to send to a friend that you haven't seen for ages! I used my Prism punch to round the corners of a 7" x 5" white card and then scored it twice on each side to give it a decorative feature. I then stamped out the Floral Bubbles (fish and flowers) on to some white smooth cardstock and coloured it in using Be Creative Twilights watercolour paints until I was fairly happy with the result. I rounded the corners of that too and then coloured the border with a black alcohol marker. I had created a background some time ago using a variety of alcohol inks and decided to use it for the mat layer and so attached the stamp topper on to it with some PVA glue. I then added that to the front of the card again with PVA glue. I took the Hello and Distance sentiments from one of Lisa Horton's range and stuck them to some white card and gave them both a wavy edge and used foam pads to stick them to the card at the ...
