Portrait of a beautiful Women with floral motifs!

 Hello to all!

Happy Saturday!

Celebrating Women's History Month in a special way! Happy International Women's Day to all the incredible and strong women, shine on..... every day!

Today's card is inspired by the faces and flower motives. Silhouettes were highly popular in the Mid 18th Century.

I love the outline of the woman's features so well, swirling hair, wore her hair in a bun style at the back, looser and the fuller at the periphery of her face, look like of the flower petals and matched her portrait with some silhouette blooms.


I started by stencilling on Gelli plate using some DI, DO and got the above impression.


Then I colored her hair using Zigs, outline her face image once again using Memento Luxe ink in blue to define her well. Fussy cut the image.


Then stamped some floral motifs with a beautiful sentiment. And the motif in her bun is clear embossed for some shine and more interest.


Added some splatters and adhered to my focal panel on the earth tone CS.
Hoping you enjoyed the process.

Happy crafting!

Hello beautiful!

 Hi to all!

Happy Thursday!

Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief that she is beautiful....... by Sophia Loren!

The most precious gift of God to this planet is a woman. She is the pivot source of love in every way! 

She can get her love in the form of a Sister, Mother, Beloved Wife, Daughter, Grandmother. So respect each and every woman in the world and let's make a peaceful world beyond the imagination. Her grace, warmth & cheerful nature is an inspiration to me! 

So here is my creation! She has a desire to enjoy life and spreading seeds of flowers with her smile.


I love this cool feminine fun stencil, made me think about how to use it beautifully with cute eyelashes and hairlines. I left her uncolored.  I had fun with watercoloring with some floral images.
 I presented my beautiful lady with nature blossoms and her strength too, showing the empowerment of women!


I started with a folied dotted PP and applying colors through the stencil.
And watercolored a flower strip too using my ZIG brushes.


Then stamped a cute birdie and watercolored it, fussy cut it who is chirping with Hello Beautiful sentiment, says all!


I die cut some flowers in the red and metallic gold sheet and added them to her crown.  Added eye shadow and color her lips with charming red!

Have a Beautiful Day!
