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!

(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!

The Adventure Begins!

 Hello to all!

Happy Saturday!

A Masculine theme card with a nautical version!

The background is created by a Gelli plate, distress inks and a brayer on a watercoloured panel. 

Added some water droplets to look more realistic for a cloudy sky and ocean scene. It is the first time I used the Gelli plate and love the results, made work more interesting with textures.

Now I used a sea waves stencil and applied an embossing pad using sponge dauber and heat embossed using Midnight dreams glitter powder for texture and giving a nice amount of movement!

Using Opaque bright white EP stamped the ship image. Added some seagulls because no trip to the ocean is complete without them flying by! Adhered the panel to a white panel. Tied a jute twine.

Now die cut some bamboo sticks, some seaweeds out of vellum sheets, navy blue CS, light blue CS and a Lighthouse, a ship wheel.  First I adhered silver coloured metal net and added all the elements along with a sentiment.
