Christmas tag

Hello Friends!
Good morning!
                       I made my first tag  for this wonderful season and would love to play along  25 Days of Christmas Tags by Tracey at  In My Creative Opinion! There are lots of  inspirational creations by all talented artist and so many Fab sponsors! I love to make my own tags and I am very much inspired by Nicki Scheck creation from Day 11! Love how beautifully she blended the bottom half and embossed the edge with some gold! And I am very much inspired with gold at paper smooches.

   Here is my creation:

               My tag featured a cute penguin from Santa's helper and guys do you know I also added border die1 from paper smooches to create this heavy snow fall scene! And I love the result:). Added a twine to the hill border for more snowy effect and this cute penguin is jumping with joy! I blended my bottom tag using watercolor pencils for the first time and very much satisfied with the final result! I stamped my image in a snippet of white CS, water colored and fussy cut it. Then once again I stamped the image on my tag and then pop up my image.

I covered my tag with a vellum and stamped the sentiment in gold, love the shine and sparkle! Here is a close up of the sentiment.

One more pic- I think this is the perfect sentiment for this cute penguin!

    I hope you enjoyed my creation!
Supplies used:
Snippet of white CS and vellum

Santa Helpers stamp set from YNS

Thanks

Hello my friends!
Hope all of you are enjoying your weekend!
Today I made a card for my family to share love and happiness! In Hindus, Diwali is the most famous festival which is on 11th of November! So I made this beautiful creation with a Thanks sentiment!

Jennifer has started the kindness campaign on her blog! She is very Talented, kind hearted and generous person! I love her unique style and love all her video with lots of inspirations! So I am sharing my creation for the first week which is SHARE HANDMADE KINDNESS CHALLENGE WEEK 1: FRIENDS & FAMILY! 

For this card, I splattered some color burst on my nonporous sheet, misted with some water and firmly pressed a white CS on it. See the result!

     I had a leftover embossed piece in my stash (shown in the pic) and I wanted to use it in my creation and a new idea click in my mind.

I used my embossed sheet and pressed it  firmly again on that misted sheet for the second time, I got a very soft effect on the embossed panel.
    Recently I won a GV from Altenew (Thank you so much) and I ordered some more things along with the gift voucher that was Vintage rose stamps and  some ink pads! I stamped some vintage roses on the raised large floral part using Altenew inks. Then I water colored those small flowers and stamped those leaves using Memento dye inks.
   I took a white CS as my base. Then I cut that color burst panel in L shape and adhered it on the base panel. On a snippet of white CS, I dragged a Memento Grape Jelly ink pad and cut them into two pieces and adhered them on the panel as shown in the pic. Now I adhered that embossed panel.

I die cut the Thanks sentiment three times and colored one of them using the ink pad. Adhered onto the other two showing some white space, added glossy accents for some depth and dimension! I added diamond stickles on few places for more interest! Love how it turned out!

Hope you enjoyed this technique and like my creation!

Supplies used:

Snippets of white CS

Altenew Vintage roses stamp and Red Cosmos 4 in 1 pack

Color bursts- Violet, Alizarin crimson, lemon yellow. orange

Memento dye inks-Rich Cocoa, Grape jelly, Rose bud, Lilac poises

Cat Lovers Hop- Finger puppets

Hello everyone!
Today is a National Cat Day! And I am very excited to participate in Cat Lovers Hop  and  Janis has organized the hop to celebrate this wonderful day at Her Peaceful Garden. Tomorrow is the last day to participate. I don't have any pet animals, but I love them! This time I didn't make a card, I created finger puppets out of felt! I named my cat as Poosy and for a lion Prince!

  

To create them, I drew their shape on grey and yellow felt two times for front and back and then added ears, tail and stitched them leaving the bottom side open. Then I attached their legs. For the cat face, I glued eyes, nose and whiskers and for lion I glued a brown coloured felt hair around his face.

Isn't it a cool technique to make cute finger puppets and we can create a whole story of our own for dramatisation too! I used this technique many times when I was a teacher and my Kindergarten tiny tots really enjoyed the stories very much while dramatising through finger puppets!

Hope you like my different creation!

I would like to join in these challenges:

Oh! So sorry! The video is not working because of updated version, some features are not working and made me sad! I will try again later!

Pinterest Inspired

Hello everybody!
Today I want to show my new creation!
I got my inspiration from Pinterest Inspired challenge! I love the graphics, colors and design and blue is my fave color too!

And here is my interpretation;

 I used the stamps and scripted hello from WPlus 9; the die cut leaves and edged speech bubble from Die-namics ; stitched borders from Lawn Fawn and the white enamel drops are from We R Memory Keepers!
I started by creating my spring flowers to make my own background: first I used distress inks and spritz it with water before stamping to give it a watercolor look.  I played first time with my new Misti tool here! I opted the color combo of blues and black. Then I blended the edges with my wet brush. Then stamped those leaves and tiny buds and used second generation stamping technique.

I adhered a stitched speech bubble on the top with dimensional adhesive. Then die cut a hello sentiment 3 times and glued them for dimension.
Then die cut some leaves on the snippet of some transparent sheet and rounded them using my round puncher to match them with my stamped leaves!
I love the final look, isn't it!

Other supplies used;
Snippets of Turquoise and whisper white CS
Tumbled glass and mermaid lagoon Distress inks and Grey to black Ombre ink pad from Hero arts
Spring Blooms stamp set from WPlus9

I am always here with you!

Hello Everyone!
I am invited to join as a Guest Designer this fortnight after being chosen as a winner from challenge No.36! I am feeling so honored, Thanks to Mrs, A! She asked me to choose a letter and I have chosen Letter E and the new challenge started today over at Mrs.A Butterfly challenge!#40 Butterflies + E is for Embossing.

Today I am showing a card using purple color scheme, so I can support Becca's The Hop to Stop, a blog hop designed to raise awareness about domestic violence.

        Domestic violence thrives when we are silent; but if we take a stand and work together, we can end domestic violence. Throughout the month of October to raise awareness about domestic violence, Please join in our efforts to end domestic violence. 

       Wouldn't it be so awesome if we can bring a smile to the faces & brighten the life of all who are victim of Domestic violence, simply by sharing our love of card making! A simple gesture to let them know that they are not forgotten and important to the society!

        My submission has a phrase, "I am here always with you“. In a world with so many uncertainties and sufferings. I wanted my little piece of inspiration as a reminder that one should never lost hope what so ever is the adverse situations in once life.  It’s important to come together as a World community to help build strong foundations for all where ever as anyone is in state of exploitation and distress. We are always better when we work together and caring for each other! With every new dawning of the sun, fresh blooms, bird songs and the transformation of the caterpillar into the butterfly, and birth of new life !!!
Here is my creation:

 This card begins with a snippet of white panel and using my violet color bursts on it and reacted it with my water mist and  embossed my panel with embossing folder. This is a product that knocked my socks off!!! It's so fun to watch them react when they come in contact with water:). Then I raised my embossing panel using distress scrubber for more dimensions.  I added the panel to a Pearlscent purple colored CS frame.

 Next I used up a snippet of vellum and stamped the sentiment using Versamark and heat embossed it for some shine and dimensions. Then I created a designer frame out of two different sheets and adhered it to highlight this beautiful sentiment. 
 
Using emboss resist technique, I stamped and heat embossed the butterflies and using color burst and mist it and let them flutter by! I added a cute tiny heart from Lawn fawn and glossy accent it as an embellishment!!
I really wanted the sentiment to be the focal point and the challenge colors complimented the scene perfectly. 

Supplies used:
Snippets of Pearlscent CS, White CS, glitter sheet and a vellum sheet
Wow embossing powders-Opaque bright white and Magical mauve glitter 
Color burst-Violet
WeR Memory Keepers Distress tool
Rose vine Embossing Folder from Sizzix-Brenda Walton
Stamps- Big butterfly from TechniqueTtuesday Take Flight set; small one from Knorr PrandeII; Sentiment from Recollections
 Dies- Spellbinders Decorative elements and Pierced squares from celebration set
