Watercolored Framed floral wines!

 Happy Thursday, all!

I am sharing a card expressly Framed - Floral wines stamp set from Uniko.

It's always fun with watercoloring!

I started by stamping the framed floral image on a whisper white CS and watercolored it using my ZIG watercolor brushes.

The sentiment in the centre is from the Just Because stamp set from Uniko.

Adhered it to my card base using foam adhesive and finished it off with some pearl drops.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy crafting!

Would love to join these fun challenges:

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!

Hello to all!

Happy Friday!

I stamped this spooky girl with some skull balloons and colored it with my ZIG brush markers.

Autumn blessings!

 Hello to all!

Happy Saturday!

It's that wonderful time of the month. Trees, branches, leaves are beginning to change!

Today I have an autumn card to share with you all. I had so much fun using these fall leaves! I created an autumn glass jar containing full of different autumn leaf shapes and colours.

http://pixiescraftyworkshop.blogspot.com/2021/09/pixies-snippets-playground-challenge_01526649633.html

 Firstly I die cut a jar out of a vellum sheet and coloured it with my Copic markers from the backside and added some white dots using a white gel pen.

I die cut all leaves, foliage and coloured them with a variety of  ZIG water brushes.

Die-cut an umbrella too and watercoloured it. My card base is midnight blue on which I added an angled banner at the bottom in white with an autumn blessing sentiment in blue.

I arranged all the fall leaves and foliage in the jar, varying the leaf shape and colour. I clicked the photo before arranging them on my jar for a record.

Here is the finished card with some platinum splatters and added clear droplets and glossy accents to berries.

A closeup view: 

Hope you enjoyed this project in rich fall colours in the air and can enjoy the beauty of this season!

Tea cup with Happy Succulents!

Hello!

Happy weekend!

I made a slimline card using my envelope die! 

I featured a teacup with Happy succulents. The stamp set has a main succulent image with few additional succulents which make this set so versatile and fill the bigger space easily.

 

On a teacup, I stamped one of the single succulents with foliage using my ZIG brushes directly and watercolored it. Then stamped the bigger image using the same method, watercolored it and fussy cut it.

Now die cut another panel using stitched scalloped dies and stamped the image.  Then I slightly added DO with a blender brush to make my own background. The sentiment is from the Verve stamp set. Added some scattered polka dots with sparkle paste using my stencil.

Added my main panel on the card base. Added the die cup with dimension for more interest above the big succulent image.

Hope you like it!

Happy crafting!

Cardstock: Whisper White CS

Stamps:  Happy Succulents from Uniko; One cup stamp set from Verve stamps

Sunshine coffee cup

 Hello everyone!

Hello, coffee lovers!

Today is the first day of Spring/ Summer Coffee Lovers Hop 2021 hosted by the very talented Amy & team and I am so excited to participate! There are lots of super sponsor prizes, how awesome!

I am sharing a card featuring a negative die cutting technique using a Coffee time die cut set from Sizzix and stamps from Stamplorations.

I am thinking of a rising sun, bright morning with a spring feel. So I came up with this idea!

Who doesn't love coffee cup especially with sunshine on them!

I die cut the coffee cup at my focal point. And blended some DI to create a bright background in happy sunrise colours. Then stamped the great quote "even the darkest night will end and the SUN will rise." I love the New Beginning set with charming images and sweet inspiring sentiments.

On my white card base panel, I stamped the morning sunrise scene and watercoloured it using Zig watercolour brushes. Then highlighted the sunrise part only applying crystal Nuvo drops to glow more. Then adhered the blended piece on the card panel with foam tape.

Added a white lid on the coffee cup by stamping hello coffee. Die-cut some grasses and added these strips. Embellished it with some spring flowers and some crystal drops with few birds stamping to make this card pop.

I love this cute sunshine cup!

Happy crafting!

Cardstocks: Whisper White, Textured green CS

Stamps: New Beginning and Hello coffee sets from Stamplorations

Celebrate

 Hello!

Happy weekend!

Today, I want to celebrate Uniko 9th Birthday! I made totally a different style card using Mid Century Modern stamp which I hold for perfect use.

I started by Background blocks Mid Century Modern stamp in archival black ink at my focal point.

 And then first I stamped my leaves, colored them with light blue and light yellow ZIG markers and then stamped the detailed image in Altenew inks. 

After that, I stamped my flower. I stamped the solid flower image in frosty pink. Then stamped the detailed image in midnight violet. Added the sentiment in black with shadow stamping, things to match.

Love the fun clean-lined, graphic look pattern, a great way to add interest and grounding for the flower to life!

Reason to Smile!

 Hello to all!

Good Afternoon!

Today, I got some time for a little stamping before lunch and made this bright and beautiful card in yellow to make someone day happy! I made this card for my friend to celebrate her Birthday.

This stamp set from Hero Arts is my favorite now and I haven't used it before, I love this daisy bloom in yellow with a bold saying from Kaisercraft. 

I just gave outlined my stamp using ZIG brushes directly and die cut them. Then slightly colored them all.  Stamping outline stamps with fun colors is an excellently clean and simple way to design a card. I used two shades yellow and green to give this card such a fresh and fun look. Layered them all and paired my flower with a pretty dotted PP in yellow. And added a tiny butterfly near the sentiment.

 I attached my flowers and leaves with foam dots for some dimension.

Happy Birthday!

Hello!

For today card, I started off by creating the scattered polka dot pattern on my main panel. 

PS: Yay! I won the challenge here!!!

On a stitched rectangle white die cut panel I adhered my stencil and applied embossing ink through my sponge dauber. Then spread the bonding powder and after heating added blue foil on the top. And run through my Bigshot machine for equal pressure. Voila, great foil dots appeared. It is my first trial ever without using any machine.

Next, I adhered my piece on a blue mirror CS and then a white base card panel. I die cut a stitched circle in white framed it on blue mirror CS circle. Die-cut a happy word and stamped birthday sentiment in blue.

Then I stamped a flower and leaf, heat embossed them in silver sparkle EP. Then watercoloured them and fussy cut all. I adhered my flower and leaf with foam squares for some dimension. And finished it off with some silver sequins!

I really hope you like my card with foil element to shine!

Happy crafting!
