Winter town landscape!

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!

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!

Summer scene!

Hello to all!

Happy Monday!

I needed a masculine birthday card and the theme of the challenge is to follow the fabulous sketch. I went for the summer scene using D.R.S.designs, the sponsor of the challenge!

I started by cutting out all the die-elements.  I stamped the beautiful crane scene image in black archival ink and watercolored the whole scene.

Embossed another die-cut panel by inking the cloud EF, love the pretty details.

Die-cut a circle panel out of the watercolored scene for more interest and matted all the layers on turquoise panels and finally on the main panel.

Die-cut the word celebrate 2 times and added it to the panel.

Added some white dots using a gel pen to the cranes.

Love the end result with all dimensions. I wish you a good end of the day!

Happy crafting!

Fluttering by in Flora and Fauna Garden

 Hello to all!

Happy Friday!

Delicate butterflies in circles on an embossed background with a flora and fauna garden scene made me smile!

I decided on blues and green hues with a touch of yellow color! Watercolored directly on the stamp designed butterfly and then stamped on my scraps of a white panel as shown in the below pic. Die cit them in a circle shape.

Then on a white panel, I partially stamped the background stamp and gave it a washed look.

Embossed that panel using dots EF.

Stamped the sentiment and tied a twine.

Cheerful note with spring florals

Hello friends!

Happy Saturday!

The dry embossed backgrounds can create amazing elegant designs! 

I tried to emboss and deboss on the same panel with some decorated flowers!

Do you want to see....... here it is!

I started by flower field embossing folder ( which is discontinued now) on a scrap of the light blue panel. 

Rubbed some Picket fence DI directly on the embossing folder before dry embossed the panel. And after embossing mermaid lagoon DO was used to add a bit of additional color to the embossed areas of the design using a foam brush where I wanted.

If you look carefully at the right-hand side panel is debossed and the left-hand side panel is embossed.

Here is a clear pic: Lok the flowers and see the difference, how beautiful it is!!

Now I die cut some tiny flowers and leaves, watercolored them using my ZIG brushes and created some lines to the flower for some textures using a pointed tool. 

Die-cut the sentiment Just a note from a scrap of silver glittered and white foam sheet.

Now decorated my panel with these flowers and sentiment along with a stitched scalloped frame and tiny butterflies.

Embellished it with some silver gems.

 Hoping you enjoyed it!

Happy crafting!

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!

Best fishes!

 Hello to all!

Happy Monday!

One of my favorite places to be is on the seashore side. I am fortunate to live within an hour and watch the sea life. I love the sound of waves crashing, the beautiful fishes in different designs and sizes in the deep seawater!

I used circles and dots set from the Sizzix embossing folder and at the top, I slightly blended the distress ink at the top corner.

Stamped a cutie-patootie fish and watercolored it with my ZIG brushes and some more tiny bunch of fish. Fussy cut them all. Created an underwater sea scene and popped up my patootie fish. Added a strip with the sentiment best fishes.

Die-cut some seaweeds and slightly blended some DI.
