Hello!!!

Hello everyone,

Today we are celebrating the Independence Day and you know our national flower is Lotus. I decided to create something that represents our national symbol and also send out cards to friends to check on them other than just the WhatsApp and Zoom. 

I decided to water color the lotus. So I stamped my lotus from the hello lovely stampset by Craftangles and water colored them using the Eggplant and poolside water colors by Craftangles after I stamped them on water color paper with Antique Linen Distress Ink.

I then fussy cut them and adhered with the 3d foam tape on the patterned paper. I then adhered the whole panel on the 300gsm white cardstock side folding note card measuring 5.5 x 4.25 inches. 

I then die cut the Sentiment hello from the mft dienamics from the baby pink flower paper and stacked them to give it a dimension and adhered on to the pattern paper.

I also added the nuvo clear drops on the lotus petals to mimic the dew drops.. And tadaa my card is ready..

Please let me know if it like it 😃

Lawn Fawn: Color Challenge

Hello Everyone,

A friend of mine asked me to create a card for her fiance, they as a couple love to talk, spend time with each other and all the more love to go on bike rides, camp and basically a fun loving people..

And scrolling on further on Lawn Fawnatics I found out this color challenge going on, I decided to take inspiration from this and start on...

I used the Wonky Stitched Slimline Die from Trinity Stamps, used the Distress Inks- Chipped Sapphire, Dusty Concord, seedless Preserves, Dried Marigold and Mustard Seed to blend in on the sky. die cut the black mountains and little trees from the same die set, cut the pastures from the Mama elephant grassy borders in green, kraft and white cardstock, adhered them on the panel to add some layering, splattered some water colors of the same color.

Now it is time for some stamping, the little Sid and Dove, little critters that come out in the night, were stamped and copic colored. I die cut the banners from Lawn fawn  and colored them with copic markers.

Adhered all in the place and run again through the Wonky Stitched Die Cut for Symmetry. Added the sentiments from the same stamp set.

Lawn Fawnatics : Summer

 Hello Everyone,

You remember in order to play along this challenge i ordered a few stamps, fortunately i got most of the order  but one.. So what do we do?? Do you remember I told you soldiers dont sulk, they use the what they have in their arsenal... So i decided to use up my arsenal and create a scene.. A normal scene would not be that catchy.. isn't it...so lets make it interesting...

Did you check out my Sid and Dove who could talk endlessly all day and night.. they are back again.. holidaying on the tropical sea beach..by the day they play in the sand, build castles, binge on chips and hydrate themselves in juices.

But as the night sets in, they camp on the beach, barbecue the marshmallows, potato and some cottage cheese.. that's really healthy isn't it..??? and yes talk endlessly...

You have to check it amazing design...I love it...

Loosely Painted Beach from Bird's Eye View

 Hello Everyone,

I love to play along the Lawn Fawn challenges and more than winning i love the process of creating a tons of elements which are so essential for the scene building. Scrolling in through, i found that the Lawn Fawnatics  is hosting the Summer Challenge.. And i dont have the desired stamp set. So what do we do besides ordering a few stamps??

Soldiers do not sulk, they create opportunities.. i decided to paint my own summer scene.. And what did i do?? i started with the whole tutorials on the YouTube, its been quite a few... years that i haven't painted loosely.. and then I found this tutorial by Nianaini.. and i decided t follow her instructions and Tadaaa... here i am.. with my version.. of course what she created is pristine.. but yes I am happy with mine..

Hope you like it too :)

Happy little stampers

Love you Always

 Hello Everyone,

A craft store by the name A1 crafts is revamping itself with one of the best crafting supplies all stocked up. And they have a challenge Pink and Gray...This becomes fascinating as this color challenge would really tickle me out of the comfort zone.

I really thought hard as to what i should be using in my stash to match up to the pinks and grays.. So if you have been following me you would know how much I love the Magnolias. I decided to play along this challenge with my water colored magnolias.

For this I stamped my magnolias in spun sugar distress ink on to the Brustro 100% water color paper cut in 4 x 5 inches and started to color with the Craftangles Plum and kept adding water and layers to add the shades. on the background I used the Pumice Stone Distress Ink.

For the sentiments i used the Hello Lovely Stampset by Craftangles and stamped it with Versamark Onyx Black ink and adhered with the 3D foam tape.

I adhered my water color panel on to the 300 GSM white card stock.

Always be a Unicorn

 Hello Everyone,

This is one of the last DT posts for Craftyscrappers, I think the designers really nailed it with the cute little images of the unicorns and fairies. Who does not adore the rainbows and unicorns..??

I started with die cutting 2 circles from the Lawn Fawn stitched nested circles from The Neenah Solar White 110 lb card stock. Now using the Distress Inks Salty Ocean, Tumbles Glass, Seedless Preserves and Dusty Concord , I started to blend in order to a vibrant background.

I then splattered some water and dried it with some kitchen paper towel so that water reactive look. I also splattered some opaque white paint and some white dots using the Sakura white gel pen.

I die cut some clouds from the mama elephant cloud dies in white and vellum and created the bas to make the unicorn fly over the clouds.

Now its is time for some stamping and fussy cut. I chose on of the flying unicrn stamp from the Unicorns and Fairies stamp set and copic colored it with Cool Grays and Pastel Rainbow Shades. and adhered it on the background.

I then added some Glitter, glossy accent on the unicorn..

and stamped the image as Always be a Unicorn in Seedless Preserve.

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.
