Be Free!

Hello friends!
Happy Thursday and hope all of you are feeling great!

I am so happy that spring has just arrived with full blooms, butterflies and so are the birds, flying freely!!! The air starts to warm and soft gentle breezes kiss my face while all things feel awesome! Today the weather is so cool here in Delhi!
So here I come up with a very cheerful, bright colors and free theme Mixed Media card.

This MM card is treated with loads of dies, texture elements, stencilling. The featured yellow poppies created with Foamarians.
Here is the close-up. I die cut these out of two colors white and yellow foam. Shaping them, added pollens, shimmer, beads and gemstones.

I took this designer card and applied texture paste randomly. Using a comb created the pattern and applied distress paint.

On a torn corrugated sheet, stencil a word FREE, applied distress paint on MDF cutout, cheese clothes too. Using a mold and clay I made my own bird embellishments.

Here is a close-up pic of MDF chipboard. Some platinum Inka gold brought the bird to life and added some splatters too with golden beads and yellow beaded wire.

Hope you enjoyed this beautiful creation!

Cherry blossoms with own BG!

Hello, friends!

I am back with my last GDT post at Inspired By Stamping! Thank u so much Joanna for this opportunity and inviting me, it was an honour!

For this project, I made a fancy shabby style card with some of the wonderful products using Polka Dots stamp set and Cherry Blossoms stamp set.
First look at the card:

Can you believe I made my own background pattern using a single outlined polka dot stamp :)
Now for the steps how to do:
Firstly I drew a grid on my white CS, then I stamped the circles in soft pink ink to create the pattern using MISTI, it made my work more easy for the symmetry! Have a look:

Now rub the pencil lines carefully.
The next step is:
I stamped the floral image on a vellum sheet in clear embossing ink, heat embossed it using metallic gold rich pale and coloured it with my chalk colours, fussy cut it.

And adhered it on a separate fussy cut white CS (otherwise it reflecting with the BG pattern).

I die cut a Fancy label out of white CS and one from designer dotted thick vellum sheet. Embossed the same label on strawberry pink CS and fussy cut it. Then I adhered the label on my patterned panel and covered the top layer of the label with half of the designer vellum label. Now stamped the sentiment in the same ink. I clear embossed the half stamped panel 4 times for the gloss.

Using glossy accents I covered it with frosted sugar powder.

Now adhered my panel on a strawberry pink CS and adhered it to my card base ( but before adhering the panel tied it with a gorgeous pink coloured ribbon. Using adhesive foam dots I adhered my Cherry blossoms with dimension.

Rainbow color frames!

Hello, friends!
I am so thrilled as the part of GDT for this month at Inspired By Stamping! Thank u so much Joanna for this awesome opportunity, feeling honoured and excited! I love to create cards and Mixed Media projects and always try new techniques!

I made my own background framed images in rainbow colors with shaker elements!

To begin my project, I stamped the Fancy label image with alternating different ink colours from Altenew on a heavy white CS. I tried this repetitive image technique first time using my Misti and love the result!

Die cut the nesting fancy label dies out of white foam sheet (2 times) for depth and adhered it one of the red colour border image (shown in the pic)
Then I stamped the label image on a separate white CS in Versa mark clear embossing ink and heat embossed the image using Metallic gold rich pale Super fine powder. And die cut the image using Fancy label Dies 2. I fussy cut the oval shape from the centre. Die cut an acetate label too.

Cut out 2 strips from top and bottom for layering and adhered my main panel on the card base using the gold strips.
Now adhered the top border image with acetate and filled it with shaker elements. See the depth of label cuts!

Die cut With love sentiment from the gold sheet and white foam sheet too for dimension and adhered it on my panel.

To finish the card I added some sparkling clear sequins, parrot green cup sequins and very tiny golden and clear sequins with tiny golden hearts too and tied it with a red colour jute twine.

Here is the inside view:

I used the sentiment from the same stamp set and decorated the inside too!
Hope you all enjoyed my creation!
