Birthday Blessings | The Flower Challenge | AAA Birthday Challenge

Hello Folks,

I think I just love the flowers and can keep creating them over and over again. I created this card using the daisies from Altenew. To create tis card I stamped the flowers on to the watercolor paper using the Versafine Clear Embossing Ink and then heat set it using the white embossing powder. Once I was happy with it, I watercolored the flowers and then fussy cut them. And finally added some stenciling using the salty ocean distress ink and stuck the flowers using the 3d foam tape. To complete the look, I added the sentiments from the Craftangles sentiment sheet.

Hope you like it. Please play along with us The Flower Challenge and AAA Birthday Challenge

Happy 29th | The Flower Challenge

 Dear Crafty Folks,

I created this card using the altenew poppy garden stampset. Watercolored the beautiful imagea of the poppy flower which was stamped using the Antique Linen Distress Ink on to the CrafTangles Watercolor Paper. And then using the CrafTangles Soul mate, Moss Green and Evergreen Liquid  Watercolors painted them. Once I was happy with the coloring I fussy cut them and the leaves.

To create the background I stenciled the CrafTangles Mandala stencil using the Hickory Smoke Distress Ink and then added the hexagonal die cut from the Gold Mirror Cardstock.

And finally keeping the sentiments simple with Scrapbook Thin number die cut the 29 from the Craftangles black Cardstock and put everyyhing together on to the top folding note card on Kraft using the Liquid adhesive and 3D foam tape.

Added some silver sequins and yellow nuvo drops.

Enjoy the little things| The Flower Challenge

Hello Crafty Folks, 

Flowers are the best medium to say or send the thoughts of the heart isn't it.. I created this card using the simon says stamp spring flowers stamps set. 

I stamped the flowers on the 180lb Neenah Solar White using the black dye ink and then colored using the Ohuhu markers. 

I then fussy cut all the flowers and stuck them using the 3D foam tape. To complete the card, I stamped the sentiments onto the die cut heart because that's the challenge. 

I hope you liked and got in 3 by my card. Don't forget to link in your entries at The Flower Challenge

You Are Mermazing | Aaa Birthday Challenge

Hello Crafty Folks,

The temperatures have started rising in my part of the world. And there seems to be nothing soothing than the water. I live on the east coast of the country and very close to the exotic islands known as the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

The whole fun of scuba diving is a great experience to me and I absolutely love it. So I created this dreamy scene of the mermaid 🧜‍♀️

Let's have a look at the card first.

This is one of most favorite stamps by Birdie Brown for MFT and love the innocence on the mermaids faces. A shaker card is always a playful card isn't it..

HBD BEAUTIFUL| AAA BIRTHDAY CHALLENGE

Hello Crafty Folks,

Today I decided to create something different which usually I don't do much, that's the use of the background stamp for the pattern. 

I used the Simon Says Stamp Damask Background Stamp which I had been hoarding for a very very long time, it's a part of the You Are Loved Release of 2019.

I started with stamping this stamp on to the CrafTangles Rose Pink Colored Cardstock using the Versamark Clear Embossing Ink and then heat setting using the White EP. 

Once it was ready I did a little ink blending using distress oxides on Abandoned Coral and Wilted Violet. 

I then added strips of Vellum, ink blended strips in purple, pink and silver glitter Cardstock. 

I die cut the sentiments in silver and dark pink as HBD and stamped the sub sentiment beautiful. Adorned it with some clear Nuvo Drops. 

Hope I like it. Do let me know in the comments below. ❤️

February is the closest of all months to me personally, because it is all about love and expressing what we feel for our significant other, people who we love even we are far apart and there is the whole list of reasons ... isn't it!!

This also happens to be the birthday month of my beloved husband... So i created this card for him.. Okay so florals and not a masculine card.. Okay so yeah, he loves flowers, while I am allergic to them.. Yeah so that funny but that's how we complement each other, by creating and painting flowers for him..That's my expression of love.. Do let me know how do you celebrate your loved ones...

I created this card called You Are Loved.. using the Altenew Peony Garden Stamps et and then water colored it using Crfatangles Liquid Watercolors in Soulmate and Lemon Tart and I loved it.. :)

The sentiments are from The Colorado Craft Company which is heat embossed on Black Cardstock by Craftangles and heat set in White Embossing Powder.

Do you remember our young old days when as kids we loved to go the parks, carnivals or just the fairs and enjoy with friends on different rides, hogging on sugary eatables and playing games.. Those were the days and they really make me nostalgic ❤️

For our new challenge at AAA BIRTHDAY, I created this Easel Card using all supplies by Purple Onion Design and the lovely cute critters by Stacey Yacula. I had forgotten how crisp the red rubber stamps are.

Thanks Card| HLS Anything Goes with Dies

 Hello Folks,

I hope you are doing great and enjoying the beautiful colors, pumpkin lattes and pumpkin carvings. The most beautiful things that I love to see is how the lights glimmer through the dark nights. So I thought why not create a thanks card with all the beautiful fall colors and giving the same look. 

For this card, I used the Neenah Desert Storm cardstock trimmed a panel in 11 x 4.25 inches and then and stamped the Purple Onion Woodgrain using the Distress Ink in Caudroy. I then ink blended with heavy end on to the corners using the Walnut Stain.

I die cut the leaves from the Neenah Solar White Cardstock and ran through the Simon Says Stamp Fall Leaves Wreath and ink blended it randomly with the fall colors.

I stuck everything using the liquid adhesive and finished the look with die cutting thanks from the MFT Dienamics from the gold glitter paper and stuck it in the center.

Lastly, my favorite thing to do, splattered the white paint all over.

Hope you like it, please let me know in the comments below.

Yay! It's your birthday| AAA BIRTHDAY CHALLENGE

Thanks Card| HLS Anything Foes with Dies

Hello Folks,

I hope all of you are doing good. It is finally that time of the year when most of us artists get the maximum inspiration with the mother nature spreading her color palette out for all of us, isnt it? Also after the end of almost 9 months, while we are safe, healthy and happy, it is my personal favorite time to be thankful to all those who let this happen.

So I created this CAS style Thanks card using just the dies.

Lets have a look at the card first

To create this card, I used the Desert Sand cardstock by Craftangles and trimmed it to 11 x 4.25 inches.

I then ran through the top layer through the Darice Embossing folder of the tress. I the  die cut the Neenah Solar White Cardstock through the Dress My Craft Leaves 4 dies and then ink blended with Distress Oxides in Spun Sugar, Dried Marigold and Abandoned Coral.

Finally I die cut the sentiments Thanks from a die cut in Craftangles Pumpkin Orange Cardstock twice to stack it. I then assembled all my elements using the liquid adhesive and finally added a Nuvo drop in Orange to seal the leaves. Lastly, I splattered some white, black and orange paint.

And it is done.. Isnt that easy.
