Party! Tropical leaves and cocktails dl landscape card -  Day 184 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Today's card for my challenge is a bright and cheerful DL card using distress inks, stamps and a mask. How I made this card:- The first thing I did was use the Cocktail Party mask to edge the top and bottom of a DL landscape (with the fold on the left hand side) with the abstract pattern in bright red ink (Festive Berries from Tim Holtz Ranger ink) moving it along to finish the design off. I then let it dry as I didn't want smudges on the front of the card! Once it was, I used Parrot Green ink from Altenew to colour through the palm leaf part of the mask and  once again let it dry. I also used the mask to add the word PARTY! (again from the mask) this time using Catherine Pooler's Something Borrowed (blue) dye based ink. I then stamped the two different cocktails on to some stamping card with Onxy Black Versafine ink and coloured them in using Zig ...

I will always stand by your side Flamingos and tropical things C6 card -  Day 175 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! I hope you had a great weekend! Today's card is a bright and sunny one featuring flamingos, pineapples and leaves! How I made this card:- I first of all placed both of the flamingos on to an acrylic block and using Onyx Black Versafine ink stamped them on to a precut white oval layer that Hunkydory produce. I then coloured them in using pink shades of Zig Clean Color water color pens. Once I was happy with the colouring, I then used a sponge to add the blue ink around them (I used Tim Holtz Salty Ocean Distress ink). I left a lighter area around the flamingos, I stamped the sentiment (again from the Flamingo Party set of stamps from For The Love of Stamps) using the Versafine ink above the flamingos. I then stuck the panel on to one of the co-ordinating gold layers. I cut a smaller panel of white stamping card (so that it left about 1cm al...

Hello Sunshine - parrot and tropical plants square card -  Day 99 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Today's card (for day 99 of my 365 day challenge) is a bright and fun card using Tattered Lace dies and Hunkydory For the Love of Stamps and Masks. Look out tomorrow for a special give away for day 100 of my challenge! How I made this card:- I first of all placed the Aloha! mask over the front of a 6" white scalloped edged card making sure that there was even spacing all round it and coloured through the border part of it using Altenew red and oranges dye based inks trying to give it an Ombre effect. Whilst that was drying, I cut the parrot out in white card using a Tattered Lace die and coloured it in with blue, purple and red Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. I then used the leaf and flowers stamps (filled in ones) from the accompanying For The Love of Stamps collection and stamped them inside the border - using Onyx Black Versafine ink for the larger fro...
