Green branches with Meadow Butterfly!

 Hello everyone!

Happy Tuesday!

I am very much inspired by green with some insects at Let's Squash it and dusted off my old embossing folder!

And here is my Today's card!

I started by blending some DI using different shades of green and added some water splatters on it.

Wham Bam!!! Can you see how I changed it?

I embossed this panel using my branches EF. Then lightly rub the Opaque bright white ink across the embossed part only. Tada done!

I used meadow butterfly as my insect and die cut 2 times out of a scrap of white CS. And colored the flowers and branches only using my ZIGs. 

I die cut 3 times dotted rectangles and placed a vellum sheet in between my rectangles to visible the embossed background through this panel. Die-cut hello word 3 times in green sheet. Now adhered that rectangle panel with my butterfly and sentiment on an embossed panel and adhered it to my base card panel.

Inspire, create and share, that's what I  love to do!

Happy crafting!

Birthday Card in mixed media style!

 Hello friends!

Happy Wednesday!

I am popping in today to share with you this bright and cheerful Birthday card celebrating Uniko !0th Birthday, Many Congratulations Bev!

 I just love all the elements and details of this card!

https://daranddiane.blogspot.com/2022/03/shades-of-pink-winners.html

(IMP: I posted it today only and I can't able to revert the date, hope u all understand)

I  started with stamping the beautiful blooms and heat embossed in rich Gold pale EP. I colored them with my Chameleon Markers, fussy cut both.

Now created my own background panel to match the colors with my flowers using Gelli plate, brayer, DO and a scattered polka dot stencil.

Now die cuts some foliage, leaves and watercolored them too using my ZIG brushes. Die-cut a focal panel in white using some double stitched circles. I applied copper glitter paste using the same polka dot stencil which is peeking behind from the 3 circles. And arranged them all along with a copper thread underneath the flowers..

Stamped the sentiment on a black strip and heat embossed it in white. Added a tiny vellum butterfly. Embellished it with some sequins and added a strip of printed polka dot vellum sheet too.

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Happy crafting!

Happy Birthday to you!

 Hello everyone!

Happy Thursday!

Today, I made a card for the Birthday Celebration using the WPlus9 Spring Blooms stamp set having all solid images of flowers and leaves!

I started by drawing a circle with a pencil in the middle of my card base.

I really came out of my comfort zone and played a little this time using an unusual combo of colors. I stamped all the images in Distress inks. The main colors are cracked pistachio, victorian velvet with a hint of brown  brush marker colour.

Lastly, I rubbed the hand-drawn circle and marked it with my black pen. Stamped the birthday sentiment from another set. And some foliage stamping with my brush markers and black pen for more interest.

You can also see a tiny white embossed butterfly fluttering in the flowers.

I hope you enjoyed my card today!

Happy crafting!

Poppy flowers Pop-up card!

 Hello to everyone!

Happy Monday!

This is a pop-up card with an autumn colour feel on it. I love to experiment with my work and for the first time tried the pop-up elements inside with simple cutting and creases.

I started with an A4 white CS and created the creases in between as shown in the below pic. Now fold it on the creases.

Now stamp the layering poppies using Altenew inks and the last layer I heat embossed in silver sparkle EP.

Die-cut a cross-stitched oval frame shape out of a snippet of silver Mirror CS. And blended the outer space using DI, I used my oval die for blending the colour and added some white splatters.

Now hand-drawn some flowers and watercolored them. Using an embossing pen I created some silver sparkle outlines and details to the bunch to match with my poppy flowers. And placed that die cut oval on it. 

Die-cut a hug sentiment our of a snippet of silver mirror CS and placed it.

Now here comes the inside part.

I started by stamping Poppy flowers with a heat embossing layer. And created a watercolored background using my ZIG brushes with a hand-drawn butterfly.

Now my inside part is completed with a bunch of flowers in autumn colors.

I applied DI all over the edges and heat embossed the sentiment in silver sparkle EP. Created a silver sparkle outline using an embossing pen and some splatters.

Now how I popped up and gave cuts to my design shown in the below pic with some creases and added a silver mirror sheet to the other side. 

Here are some close-ups.

I enjoyed making this pop-up card. Hope you all like it!

Beautiful Blue with stained glass technique!

 Hello!

Happy Monday!

Some weeks ago I bought a few glitter bottles and couldn't wait to give them a go. So Today I pulled out some memory box dies and used them for my card with glitter fun!

https://butterflyspotchallenge.blogspot.com/2021/07/winners-158.html

I started with to make a Tessatina border using some snippets of white cards and using double sided adhesive sheets. Added some different shades of blue color glitters for shining glaze. Die cut a hug word out of navy blue glitter sheet. And some stenciling was done using DI.

Then die cut this beautiful butterfly die 4 times or memory box which is my fave too and used the same steps to achieve the stained glass look!

Now adhered that flutter by and as an embellishment added some light blue drops.

I think all the blue hues peeking out from the border would be reminiscent of bright blue skies.....something I am surely missing these rainy day!

Happy crafting!

A splash of purple over black and white!

 Hello!

I have tried something different this time. 

This is my DT post for Cut It Up Challenges with a theme of black and white with a pop of colour!

 I pick purple as an accent colour!

I used Daisy and swirl embossed background and slightly touch up the centre of flowers with DI. 

 Die-cut and intricate and gorgeous butterfly in purple glitter CS. 

Added some fancy borders at the top of my card in black and white with a sentiment on it. In the end for a more feminine look added a pretty dotted shimmery ribbon with a bow. Embellished the flower centre with some white pearls.

I am pleased with the overall design of my card!

Happy crafting!
