Be Brave!

Hello friends!

Happy Monday!

Sharing a spring floral card for all the strong women in my life whom I treasure!

       All the ladies are full of inspiration, encouraging and positive to help and deal with me in my tough time, I am so thankful to all of them! I think pinks and purples represent hope, strength, awareness and fearlessness with a bold & strong sentiment Be brave!

Yayyy! In Top 3!

I'm really brightening up the cosmos flowers today...... with purples, tea rose and pinks to help the flowers pop!

I started with a slimline white panel and stamped the cosmos flowers using masking technique and quickly heat embossed them with clear embossing powder for some shine.

I colored them with my ZIG watercolor brushes. I did pull out the ink with a water brush for a watercolor look on all florals.

My background was created by the pinstripe using wilted violet DI to make criss-cross lines randomly as well as some sketchy look.

I added some splatters using white acrylic paint.

I popped up the floral panel onto my orchid card base along with a stitched scallop rectangle.

I Heat embossed the Be brave sentiment in opaque bright white EP, so positive and uplifting. I labelled it with pop up dots amongst the flowers.

What do you think? I love this set!

Happy crafting!

One layer beauty in red!

 Hello to all!

A few challenges caught my eyes and inspire me to create a card!

Today I thought to play with Sketched Tulips which is the perfect stamp to work for less is more. 

I wanted my tulips to be red color only. First I masked my area from all sides and leaving some part only to apply DI using a round Ink blender tool. Then I stamped only the stem part of my image on that red blended area, heat embossed in Bright white and removed my masking tape.

Then Stamped the top part in jet black. I watercolored my tulips leaving some part uncolored for more interest.

Stamped the sentiment and added some splatters, voila done!

Here is a closure look:

Thanks for stopping by!

Stamped the image on my white card base and colored it with my Chameleon Pens. I masked it and added some grungy effects inspired by my Country Flag using DI! 

Die-cut the word Celebrate 3 times and colored it.

Hoping you enjoyed the project!

Wishing you showers of joy!

Hello friends!

Happy Thursday!

Who wouldn't have a brighter day if these little fellas appeared in their mailbox to celebrate their Birthday!
I have made a card with masking technique featuring What's up duck stamp!

I come up with this cute scene! Isn't the Froggie is so cute, a perfect companion to the duck.

So the first thing I did was sit down and color my images with ZIG markers.

I masked my focus panel from both the side using a masking sheet.
For this one layer card, I made my own stencil using puffy clouds. I began by positioning onto my card base. I masked it off so that only the portion of stencil would be used. Then ink blended through that portion with. Few little raindrops added the final touch using a stencil and sparkle paste.

I stamped the sentiment and heat embossed it with silver metallic EP.  

Added puddle water image for my frog using DI. Added some splatters in white.

Finally, I added my cute duck and a little frog to the scene.

 Hope this brings a smile on your face with some showers of joy!
