With Gratitude

 Hello Everyone,

Magnolias for her are one of my most favorite stamp sets by Altenew.. I love the tenderness and softness that the flowers can exhibit.

I decided to color them using my newly acquired water colors by craftangles. I really wanted to see how pigmented and free flowing are they..

I stamped my images of the magnolia flower using the Antique Linen Ink and the started coloring in craftangles poolside blue and coudroy brown distress ink on the brustro 100% cotton water color paper. i also used artist grade Prussian Blue to add shadows of blue.

I heat embossed the sentiments in gold from the Sentiments Stamp Set by Craftyscrappers. I then adhered the water color panel on 300 GSM white cardstocks.

Have a joyful winter season

Hello everyone,

I love the winters.. It is monsoons in my part of the world. But I miss my sweaters and hot vegetable broth... He he

I thought I'll create a critter card depicting the missed winters..

I have used the pumice stone, scattered straw, shabby greens for the background. Did some masking to add the owl by the mft stamps and trees by people onion design..

Copic colored all the elements..

I hope you like it..

Hello everyone,

I'm always so excited to create the happy birthday card and especially when it comes to MFT Challenges.

It is always good to try out different sketches from MFT. I tried to keep it simple this time. With the star stenciling with ghost stenciling. And yes with the favorite colors pink, raspberry pink, chiffon yellow and jellybean green..

Hope you like it..

HBD!!

Hello everyone,

You're a catch!!

Hello everyone,

I love the interactive cards. As a kid I have always loved the mechanism of a lot things and the logic how it moves. DI was very excited to see the new Lawn fawn challenge of interactive cards.

I decided to use my new lawn fawn you're clawsome stamp set. The best thing about these lawn fawn sets are the lovely elements and so much detail. I created the background by using horizontal lines stencil and distress inks. 

I tried to create a scene where the little boy helps his little girlfriend to reach the vending machine joystick 🕹 and let's her get whatever she wants.. Doesn't that count as a keeper!! The girl being a girl tries to get as many toys as she wants. Life is fun when it's only fun..  And that's why the Sentiments Yay!! You're a catch ❤️❤️

I have created a pull tab mechanism, that claws the toys.. And added few shaker elements in the machine to add fun.. 😍 

I hope this rekindles the childhood fun..

Be kind, be you!!

Hello everyone, 

I have been quite away from cards from a few days. I have no idea why!! But yes getting back to crafting and creating for self is so relieving and rejuvenating..

Coincidentally I wanted to create an appreciation card for a lady who has been active involved in arranging donations for the poor.. What better way could be to create a card to acknowledge her kindness.. 

I came across the lovely altenew inspiration challenge for the month of June. The picture by Jaycee is so captivating with the brass singing bowl, incense stick and the teal stone.. Thats so oriental and eastern..

I picked up my new altenew cover die and my favorite old magnolias for her stampset. I die cut the brass colored cardstock to create the background. And then stamped the magnolias on the water paper color. I then used water colors and did some basic mixing of blue, violet and green to get the teal I was looking for. And then colored. I wanted to keep the magnolias bright and control the shading with the same tone.

So here's my card

I hope you like it :)
