Gingerbread men and coffee this Christmas!

Hello everyone!

Happy Friday!

I fell in love with this great card full of delicacy!

I stamped a pair of coffee cups using jet black archival ink and ground espresso distress ink, and clear embossed both before drying them for some shine. Now watercolored the bottom part of the cups and fussy cut both the cups. 

Die cut some snowflakes and gingerbread in chocolate brown, and some glittered green pine boughs.

 

I embossed a white panel in half with a Christmas sentiment.

Now I decorated my panel with all these elements, as well as some tiny gold stars and tiny hearts.

Some close-ups:

It's hard to lift a card as beautiful as it is sweet!

Happy crafting!

Hope you get spoiled today!

Hello to all! 

Happy Saturday!

This fortnight at Cut It Up Challenges, out in the country is the theme! And my soul asked for some flowers and greenery to get spoiled for someone's Birthday!

I started by die cutting two running stitched rectangles in different sizes. On a smaller size, I stamped a bunch of flowers with a flutterby in metallic gold and watercolored them. On the right side of the corner, I played with some alcohol inks background.

On a bigger rectangle size panel too, I added some alcohol inks splotches.

Die cut some delicate flowers in rose gold mirror CS.

Stamped the sentiment on a label in metallic gold.

Some close- ups:

These stunning blossom branches in rose gold added a beautiful, botanical and modern touch to this project. 

Have a wonderful day!

Happy crafting!

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!

I decided to create a fun winter atmosphere scene card with the blue color theme and followed a sketch!!

I absolutely Love the Holiday Kids collection stamp set which has four different images, perfect for Christmas cards!

Here is the sketch:

I love how these papers work so nicely today!

I stamped the adorable sledge kid image with a cap and colored it with my Zigs. Then fussy cut them. I also added some silver glitter paste to the cap, sledge and muffler for some shimmer.

I used the Country Landscape die twice for a snowy hill. For the sky background, I created some silver glitter snowdrops. 

I finished off the card by adding a die-cut snowflake, added some ice snow with some silver glitter on it for some frost.

Spring is here!

 Hello friends!

I am back with this fortnight inspiration, are you ready!

So I made a card on the theme "How's the weather" for my DT project! You will therefore have to put at least one weather-related elements on your creation........... like sun, wind, cloud, rain, rainbow, umbrella, flowers....... or all at the same time...... it's up to you to choose your climate conditions,

As far as I'm concerned, it's blue sky, bright sun and fine weather cloud.......... and created a piece of sky tag using ducks with a daisy flower, and swirly background with some daisy flowers.

I used Tim Holtz brayer first time on my Embossed panel without any spot and love the ending result!

I went with no line coloring and I love how it turned out. Fussy cut my image. I used my pencils to color the cute ducks' image.

I used a curved tag for the vertical element, a sun and some clouds with a Hello spring sentiment. I used some distress inks to create my background on the tag and added some hand-drawn grasses and flowers. And embellished it with some sequins.

And there you have it!

So what is the weather like in your house, fine weather or stormy!

Happy crafting!
