Hello friends!

Happy Monday!

Hoping you all enjoyed your weekend!

This time I made a beautiful winter town landscape with textures and adorable reindeer!

I started by dry embossing a white CS using 3d waffled diamonds and placed that layer on a navy blue base.

Die cut some 3 layers Christmas trees out of bottle green and lime green CS. Applied distress inks on them and added snow texture to them. 

Die cut some houses, watercolored them and added snow textures to them.

Then build a reindeer, watercolored it and arranged all the pieces.

Collect all the pieces, die cut a framed door die and made a scene. In the end added a sentiment, love the outcome!

Happy crafting!

Hello to all!

Happy Monday!

Time for another inspiration with a Thankful theme for the Cut It Up Challenge. So here I am representing.......

First I die cut a flourish edge from a burgundy color CS and one piece from a pattern paper. Laid down them together. And adhered it to my card base.

Then highlighted the cage print with leaf using an embossing powder.

The word thanks is heat embossed 3 times for the perfect chunks shown in the below pic:

Embellished it with wax seal drops for more interest and textures.

Hope you enjoyed it!

Let heaven and nature Sing!

 Hi friends!

Happy Friday!

I created an autumn colours-inspired card showcasing a big leafy die and can work with whatever sentiments you want to pair it with.

I started with white CS and die-cut the leafy design.

I love the look of blended distressed inks and how by overlapping inks you can achieve different colours!

For the sentiment, I used a perfect one for this fall design. Cut the sentiment 4 times and layered it on a vellum die-cut square with the red frame.

I laid it down on my white card base and embellished it with a few red enamel dots.

Hope you enjoyed it!

Happy crafting!

So proud of you!

Hello friends!

Happy Saturday!

I made this card for my niece as she cleared her 1st semester in 11th grade and got an excellent school report. For her tests, she got an A+, I am so proud of her!

This is my DT card with the "So Proud of you" theme.

I used super cute Tessa Tassel from Kraftin' Kimmie stamp and paper from DCWV paper stack.

I colored the image with my polychromos pencils. Stamped the sentiment.

I added some white dot details to her outfit with a white Posca pen. Framed the image.

I used some handmade flowers and a doily too. I rolled a paper for the "diploma" and sponged along the edges. Tied a ribbon and added a droplet to it!

I added tiny twinkles to her hat, diploma band and flourish.

So, here is the final output!

Hope you all like it!

Happy crafting!

Journey

Hello everyone!

Happy Sunday!

Yellow and red are hot, cheery and summery colors and this fun card with a CAS beauty is ready for a new journey with a Vespa scooter to celebrate Grandparents Day! My Grandfather loved to ride on a scooter and he loved his scooter very much! So in loving memory, I made this journey card!

To create the background I used whisper white CS, embossed with a Linen organic 3D embossing folder and I again dry embossed it with Journey sentiment strip at the bottom. 

The cute Vespa scooter is die-cut 5 times out of the snippets of white, red, black lemon yellow and deep yellow CS. And arranged the pieces on the dry embossed die-cut scooter design.

Enjoy the ride!

Happy crafting!

Mixed media Cherry Blossom Journal layout page!

 Hello everyone! 

Happy Tuesday! I hope you are doing great!

You all know I am a versatile artist and always love to experiment with new things!

http://allsortschallenge.blogspot.com/2022/08/ag-or-create-background-winners.html

Today I wish to share my latest creations with all of you!

Those pages are made just for myself... in the evening... to relax and enjoy the creative process!

I love playing with stencils and colours which create the most amazing textured backgrounds!

Incorporating mixed media into your layouts always help my imagination run wild. Add depth, texture and color to just about anything and surprise me with just how creative we can be!

The average person sees things in their most obvious colors and context. An artist, however, sees things in other ways..... details in shadings, proportions and balance. They sense subtle tones, moods and emotions at a different level and intensity, and how or what, a subject is expressing!

 I added lots of transfer sheets, handmade flowers, textures, foliage, and butterfly. I created textures and designs to make my background first to add a lot of dimension to my layout!

People think of spring, they think of flowers. But in Japan, there is one particular flower that comes to my mind --- the cherry blossom or the Sakura. Perhaps the most iconic symbol of springtime in the Land of the Rising Sun. The cherry blossom is highly regarded - revered almost - by the Japanese. Its delicate pastel pink or white hue inspired me, striking beauty and its poignant fleetingness have all combined to give it a special place in my heart, their culture, art and philosophy!

I added lots of transfer sheets to create this beautiful window scene with full of pink blossoms.

Added some script stamping too.

Added a fabric texture scrap behind my window for more interest.

Hopefully, this beautiful Journal layout page will inspire you!

Happy crafting!
