Happy Birthday toadstool and rabbit in silhouette C6 card -  Day 207 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Today's card for day 207 of my challenge is a bright and cheerful card using a die cut as a stencil along with some Tattered Lace dies and a sentiment! How I made this card:- I had cut out the flowers using a Stamps by Me die but hadn't found a use for it as a die-cut but thought it would be good as a stencil, so I took a piece of linen effect white card and using a mix of Tim Holtz Distress inks and Altnew inks coloured through the various flowers. I trimmed it to 90x140mm and edged it using a black alcohol marker and stuck it to the front of a white linen effect C6 card - I chose the linen effect so it looked as if it was the same as the topper. I then cut out the circle layer (Tattered Lace) in a light Kraft colour cardstock and then the rabbit and toadstool - again both Tattered Lace, this time in black card. I stuck the toadstool and rabbit on t...

To a Beautiful Friend bird in nest and ferns foldback dl card -  Day 104 of my 365 day challenge  Hi Craft addicts! Today's card is one I have made using Tattered Lace dies and inks for day 104 of my 365 day challenge.. How I made this card:- I folded the front of back on itself and coloured the front part with some blue tones - from Altenew and Tim Holtz inks - along with some of the Lavender Mist Rare Earth Blending inks. I also used the latter on the inside of the card, keeping the card folded so there was a definition between the two. I then cut out the bird and nest in brown card using Tattered Lace dies. I used a couple of brown alcohol markers to give it some shading. I also cut out the Woodland Ferns Tattered Lace Ferns in green card. Using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue, I stuck the next to the front panel and added the bird to it with some foam pads. I also stuck the ferns to the inside of the card again using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue. Finally, I s...

Best Wishes floral 8" cream square card -  Day 116 of my 366 card challenge Hi Craft Addicts! So for today's challenge I have made this 8" floral square cream card using a couple of floral toppers from the Bigger Book of Toppers (Floral) from Hunkydory. I first of all cut a section of the front of the card using the Tattered Lace Scallop Border dies and then coloured the back section using " Soft Cerise" Cosmic Shimmer Colour cloud blending ink to soften it. I took the toppers out of the frames and placed the frames onto the front (one at a jaunty angle) of the card. I then matted the main topper and sentiment onto some black card and used some foam pads to raise them up. I also placed one of the spare toppers on to the back of the card again matting it on to some black card. I also added some apple green Nuvo crystal drops to the scalloped edge and also some Candi to the bottom left hand corner. I also cut out the bumble bee ( Tattere...
