So proud of you!

Hello friends!

Happy Saturday!

I made this card for my niece as she cleared her 1st semester in 11th grade and got an excellent school report. For her tests, she got an A+, I am so proud of her!

This is my DT card with the "So Proud of you" theme.

I used super cute Tessa Tassel from Kraftin' Kimmie stamp and paper from DCWV paper stack.

I colored the image with my polychromos pencils. Stamped the sentiment.

I added some white dot details to her outfit with a white Posca pen. Framed the image.

I used some handmade flowers and a doily too. I rolled a paper for the "diploma" and sponged along the edges. Tied a ribbon and added a droplet to it!

I added tiny twinkles to her hat, diploma band and flourish.

So, here is the final output!

Hope you all like it!

Happy crafting!

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!

I think the cat looks adorable out of PP. Also wanted to try using some strings stitched through the holes! Isn't it so fun!

Firstly I stamped the cat image on a dotted PP and fussy cut it.

On a stitched holes rectangle white panel I stitched a crisis cross pattern using pink double shaded embroidery floss. On a thinking cloud, stamped a birthday cup and watecolored it.

I heat embossed the sentiment on a fishtail strip of black CS using Wow EP. I grounded the sentiment with a strip of multicoloured zig-zag stripes PP.

Created a snowfall background at the top. As an embellishment, I added a flower sequin to the cat head and a tiny golden heart to the black strip.

Birthday card for a little girl!

Hello again!

Happy Wednesday!

I created a Birthday card for a cute little girl and I think this is the sweetest image from YNS stamps!

I started with my Gelli plate and added DI to it. Placed the white sheet on it to absorb the ink using a brayer. Then dry embossed the sheet with debossed side. I removed the ink in between the design to highlight the leaves and flowers as shown in the below pic.

Fiona is a cute windy girl. I colored her with my ZIG brushes and fussy cut her.

Now placed that embossed panel onto my card base. Added an angled white CS and stamped some falling leaves, colored them. Stamped the sentiment. The windy girl is added with dimension on it. Finished it off with a die-cut leaf along with a rhinestone.

Here is the inside view:

Hope you like it!

Happy crafting!

Birthday Wishes!

 Hello!

Happy Saturday!

Each day with new blooms ready to reveal themselves.

 I just love the Beautiful Blooms II set with some solid images and some are outlined to ink:)

Firstly I die cut a frame in white CS. Then I inked the background of my slimline card as I wanted to peek out the soft color from behind the pretty die with an oval frame with good coverage and stamp the sentiment.

Using the Altenew inks I stamped the flowers and leaves. Die-cut some different foliage out of the snippets of white CS and watercolored them too.

And now time to decorate. I stamped the sentiment on the oval frame and made a pretty arrangement of flowers and leaves with dimension. 

Stamped some dots in black and added some rhinestones on the flower to sparkle more with some black dots on the flower.

I think the recipient will know how much more care with a handmade card with Birthday wishes!

Have a good day!

Then die cut some triangles out of a white CS and PP to create my nautical boat shape. Die-cut a lighthouse and watercolored it.
