This is a hug in this envelope...flowers handmade card - 365 day challenge

  Hi Craft addicts!       Today's handmade card is one I have made from scratch including the card itself... I first of all used the 15x10.5cm Creative Expressions Noble stitched die from one of Sue Wilson's collection and cut out two pieces of white card.  I hadn't at that point decided to use these as the card itself so I stamped the Dancing Daisies (from Honey Doo Crafts) directly on to one of the panels using Gina K's Obsidian Black ink and then as I had decided by then that I would be using them as a card, I had to choose how to colour them. In the end I chose the brilliant Stabilo's FSC certified crayons which I find are great for colouring in and also blend brilliantly. I used red, yellow and orange for the flowers and two shades of green for the leaves and stems. Once I had coloured it in, I scored the remaining card approximately 3/4" down from the top and then added some red liner tape, removed the backing and attached them together, making sure they ...

Beautiful Butterflies and flowers A4 photo frame -  Day 30 of my 365 day challenge   Hi Craft addicts! Today is something different for day 30 of my 365 day challenge - this time it is an A4+ photo frame which I have decorated using Stamps by Me dies and stamps. How I made this project:- I had had this picture frame for ages and thought I better use it and so thought it would be great for this project. I first of all, cut out the rose die (from Stamps Away) within some black card. I then stuck it to some white super smooth cardstock and coloured the rose in using various red, orange and yellow alcohol markers - I find that the fluorescent yellow one from Spectrum Noir adds a certain highlight to the whole rose. I added some orange alcohol marker to the edge to make it stand out more... I then used 2 or 3 green alcohol markers and coloured in the leaves. I also added a hint of Wink of Stella clear sparkle to parts of the flower and leaves. I had also cut out...

Hello - Daisy in a frame hand coloured 7x5in card Hi Craft addicts! I haven't posted anything for a while but thought I better do one otherwise you might forget me lol. For this 7x5in card, I used the Dainty Daisy stamp collection from the For the Love of Stamps set (from Hunkydory) along with some Altenew and Tim Holtz Distress inks and a die from Spellbinders. How I made this card:- I had some of the Hunkydory matts and layers (they do them in Oval, Round and Square) and wanted to use them so first of all took the largest of the oval white matt and cut the frame out using a Spellbinders die. Whilst still in the die, I coloured it using the "Warm and Cosy" inks from Altenew (they are beautiful Orange shades) along with a bit of yellow in the centre (though I left the middle white).  I also used a fineliner pen to add some faux stitching around the edge and then took it out. I repeated the process with the "Hello" sentiment from the "Daint...
