You don't have to be perfect... girl with flowers 7x5in card -  Day 193 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Today's card (day 193 of my 365 day challenge) is a hand coloured and hand painted cute card that I have made using Tattered Lace dies and water colours. How I made this card:- I used a panel of watercolour card and painted it using orange, yellow, green, blue and purple Tattered Angels Color Wash paints in a rainbow pattern and left it to dry. Once it was, I trimmed  it so that it measured 100x145mm and glued it to the front of a 7x5in white card. I then cut out the cute little girl, the rabbit, flowers and leaves from various Tattered Lace dies and coloured them all in using a variety of alcohol markers - blues, pinks, yellows, oranges and green for the flowers and leaves - some of them were attached so snipped them into smaller parts so that I would be able to fill the basket. I then coloured the girl in, again using alcohol markers (this time Or...

Dinosaur themed MDF wall hanging -  Day 181 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! I have had real fun making this project - using Hobbycraft stamps and a large MDF wall hanging. How I made this project:- I first of all covered both the front and back of the wall hanging (approximately 32cm) in white card by tracing around it (marking each outline front and back). I then coloured a landscape scene using Tattered Angels Color Wash paints (blues  and greens) - I added some white to represent clouds and let it dry. Whilst that was happening, I stamped out a lot of the dinosaur stamps (from Hobby Art Stamps) and coloured them in using green alcohol markers etc. I used a tree silhouette (from Stamps by Me) and stamped it towards the centre of the wall hanging using Versafine Onyx Black ink and then stamped a couple of the volcanoes again using the Versafine ink. I then cut out all of the dinosaurs, trying to leave an equal white border around them all and st...

Mermaid themed MDF wall hanging - hand coloured background - Day 149 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Well it is raining here at the moment and very very stuffy and so this Mermaid themed MDF wall hanging is something to cheer me up! How I made this project:- I first of all covered the front of this shaped MDF plaque with some white card using Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue and trimmed it to fit. I then used Tattered Angels Colour Wash Paints to create the sea background (mainly blues, blacks and a hint of white). When it was dry, I added a bit of water to a brush and took some of the colour away to give it some dimension. I also added a hint of white to try and give the impression of waves. I then stamped the Mermaids, seaweed and turtles on to it using Versafine Onyx Black ink. I then cut out one Cloud die (from Memory Box) in grey paper and added some shading to it using a darker alcohol marker and placed it on the left hand side. I stamped out the tree stump o...
