Peek-a-boo Birthday!

Good Afternoon all! 
It’s my last post as a DT for http://stampedblessings.com/. I want to thank Christina for the wonderful opportunity to design and create with the adorable stamp kits! I am featuring the cutest little bear.

 I have created a little scene using stitched circle die! The little teddy is playing peek-a-boo in the tree house and is holding a lovely balloon to wish a very Happy Birthday!! The papers that I used are also from amuse studio with happy die cut. I stamped the sentiment using black archival ink. I stamped the cute little bear three times and slightly colored it using iced Spruce Distress marker. Added glossy accents on them and fussy cut, popped it with foam dots.  And finished my card with a cute button and twine bow.

Supplies used:
amuse studio supplies: I’m Here stamp set (retired), Contempary Greetings stamp set (retired), Cherry Woodgrain cardstock, Happy die, Large Scalloped border die
Waffle flower floral stitched die
Jef balloon punch
Diamond stickles

Vellum and Daisy flowers

Hello Friends!
Happy Monday!
This is my DT post for http://stampedblessings.com/ and there theme is to use 'vellum'.  When I saw the oval shaped solid stamp from amuse studio, I got a fun idea to create a daisy flower using this stamp! And here is my creation!

I slightly pressed the two shades of distress inks on the stamp and misted it with water and stamped it on a snippet of watercolor paper and created this beautiful daisy flower and fussy cut it out! Isn't it looking cool and pretty!

After that I have created a BG using Mod background stamp on my white card base and added a strip of Cherry petite polka dot strip. Then I laid a snippet of vellum sheet over it to soften my BG. Then I adhered three more thin stripes of vellum sheets at the center, and stamped the sentiment and heat embossed it. Then popped up my daisy flowers and some vellum leaves with few sequins.

Hope you enjoyed this cool creation!

Supplies used:
White CS, vellum sheet
Amuse studio stamps-Mod Backgrounds stamp set, Ovals stamp set (retired), Contemporary Greetings stamp set (retired), Cherry Petite Polka dot CS.
Jef leaf punch
Distress inks-peacock feather, mawed lawn, picked raspberry, dried marigold, scattered straw
Wow embossing powder ebony

Love U Dad

Hello!
Happy Tuesday!
 This is my DT post for http://stampedblessings.com/ and this week theme is Father's Day!!! And here is my first Masculine creation!!!

This time I chose a Kraft CS for my base. On a watercolor paper, I have created a very cool water color technique. I took my Black soot and white linen Distress markers  and created circle swatches of ink(using brush tip) ...covering the entire piece of Watercolor Paper. Then i used a large solid circle and water spritzer.

 Next, mist the solid circle with plain water and 'stamp' onto the watercolor paper that I colored.  Keep misting/spritzing and stamping all over the paper until you get the paper pretty....definitely not damp, but not soaking and dripping in water, either.  You will see the colors start to fade into each other. And let it be dry properly. Isn't it cool different Bokeh Technique!

 Then I stamped the sentiment using second generation stamping method as I wanted a little faded look. I adhered a window panel and my watercolor piece on my Kraft CS base and added a scalloped border. 

    On another snippet of watercolor paper I stamped the trophy in black pigment ink and embossed it with clear gloss 4 times for shine and gloss! And matted it on my beaded circle nesting die cut. And finished it off with a washi tape, few sequins, silver colored number 1 die cut on a trophy and a tiny heart and a twine!

Isn't it cool creation for Father's Day!

Have a wonderful day!

Stamp-Amuse studio retired stamps-Lots of dots and Trophy from First in my Book;  Bow die cut and big scalloped border die cut (Chris send me)

Chai (tea) time !!!

Hello everyone!
Finally I am able to enter my creation for SUMMER COFFEE LOVERS BLOG HOP! The very talented ladies Amy and Chaitali are hosting this amazing contest!!!!

What an amazing and super array of sponsors!!!!!

Here is my creation with summer theme.....

 I am a tea lover and my morning starts with a cup of Indian Masala tea:)  So, I made this very special card for a tea lover just like me!
I chose a floral PP and  did  third generation stamping in red colour for wood panel look. Then  I cut it into four panels and distressed  the edges. And adhered all the panels on a snippet of green colored wooden paper and then brown CS base. Then I added doilies and  die cut stripes. At the focal point I adhered a vellum gift holder and sprayed some golden splatters very lightly. I stamped the tea cup and a little tea bag on a watercolor sheet, colored with distress inks, Added some glossy accents and few sequins on a cup for more shine. I attached the cup with a green paper clip using pop dot. The sentiment was stamped in Black Archival ink. 

 
I made my own hand made Gerbera flowers using octagon die cuts, distressed them and coated a thin layer of  PVC glue mixed with diamond dust powder in water to stiffen them and give them some shine. To complete them I added brads for that elegant look!

I added a golden colored thread under the flowers and embellished with a beautiful butterfly sticker ! To top it off I put a Enjoy Sentiment sticker.
Now for the gift holder part -  I put a tea bag in the holder with a cute little spoon for a nice cup of tea to be enjoyed while sitting in their garden while looking at my card! Hehehe !!!
Hope you enjoyed this card as much as I did making it !

Rainbow clouds!

Hello Friends!
Its good to be back! For a month I have been facing problems with my internet connection. Still it is not working properly but I had to share my newest creation with you all lovely people and I did despite slow connection !!
So here is my DT creation for Catchy Challenges! The theme is inspired by the picture given below:

And here is my interpretation on this theme:

To start, I took a watercolor white cardstock panel and inked it up with four different distress ink colors in rainbow order . I cut a vellum panel (same size as the cardstock panel) and  I adhered the vellum over the top of the inked panel and just look at how the vellum really softens those ink colors!

Then I diecut a tag and using my cloud stencil and background image using same distress inks to make the cute little clouds! Then added some raindrops and applied glossy accent for a real look! The sentiment is embossed on a snippet of vellum and I adhered an umbrella sticker on it! Isn't it a cute creation to make anyone smile.......
And I added few Sparkling Clear sequins for raindrops and a grey colored twine from Tim Holtz.
I hope u like my creation!
Supplies used:
Kraft CS and water color CS
Distress inks-Picked raspberry, dried marigold, mustard seed and tumbled glass

Mixed Media Scenic Beauty on Canvas

 

Hello Everyone!
Hope all you are enjoying the weekend!
Due to some technical problem created in my network connections, I am posted this from somewhere else and feeling so sad:(
This is my DT post for Create Something Catchy Challenges and this month theme is very trendy-Mixed Media!  And I have created Mixed Media Scenic Beauty on Canvas first time !!!

 

 
        I started by layered some pattern paper from Echo park and covered it with a light wash of gesso. After that I divided the canvas panel  into an equal parts and applied some white and pink color acrylic paint.
 At the focal point I laid down my Eiffel Tower Book print paper using Mod podge and then using texture paste through the stencil and covered the paste with Diamond dust while it was still wet.   And then attack my panel with sprays and keep the texture paste white some places until I got the look that I liked!
   
       I made my own embellishments to decorate it. Firstly I have made a Resin Border at the top with Milky glue using mold and applied different alcohol inks on it and pasted it. The letters are made from clear glue stick and coated with silver and metallic alcohol ink to give it that metallic look.   
 
 I stamped a tiny Time clock and coated it with glossy accents and adjust all these things in the panel. On a doily I stenciled a Number one on it because it is a number 1 destination dream place for me!!!
 
 I worked with some fabulous wood flourishes from Kaisercraft that I could build a scene with! For the Twin lamp post, I applied gesso first and then distressed the edges with Black Soot Distress ink. The script stamp is from the Urban Grunge stamp set to give it some texture. Same procedure done for the gate too.
 
 The flowers were cut with Die-namics roses die and some are foam flowers and one is a black color fabric flower which is also handmade to give it a springy look.
    Then I stamped a Eiffel tower stamp on a tag, water colored it and coated it with ton of clear embossing powder and it looks like a Epoxy sticker in real!

 

 

     Then I stamped the musical heart with archival black ink to show my love.  The word love is also a wooden embellishment and embossed with red embossing powder and glossy accent it. And what is a beauty of Paris without jewel, so I embellished it with some micro stone diamond jewels!!!     

 At the end I sprayed  with some silver Perfect Pearls in the spritzer which gives it a lovely shimmer!

     And finally a full front view of the canvas design.  I hope I've inspired you to give a mixed media canvas a try!
I hope you enjoyed my project and techniques on how to make beautiful embellishment with these fabulous Kaisercraft wooden Flourishes; resin border, epoxy tag and they add so much dimension to any project that you may make. You can even used them completely as it is for a more earthy, natural look. xo
