Jungle Party!

 Hello everyone!

Happy Friday!

Today's card is my take on the sketch challenge as the theme at Cut It Up Challenges to use any favourite sketch! It's a Jungle Birthday party card with animal friends.

Here is the sketch!

I stamped the various cute animal faces on a watercoloured cardstock and coloured them with my ZIG brushes, fussy cut them all. 

Then on a white panel, I used a leafy stencil and applied DI.

Die-cut a stitched scallop border from a PP, grass border, some balloons and coloured them. Die-cut number 3 and Party text from the snippet of a black CS.

And finally arranged the whole celebration party animals with dimension.

Have fun with these cute animals. Hope you like it!

Little space traveller!

 Hello to all!

Happy Saturday!

I am back with this fortnight challenge and the theme chosen by me "Space" at Cut It Up Challenges!

Are you ready for inspiration!

I started by stamping some space images from the Cosmic Newton set and coloured them. 

I die cut some circles from a metallic designer sheet in dual colors and some from a white sheet.

To create my night sky I used a designer mirror paper which has stars and so much shines. I added it to my white card base.

Die-cut a space rocket, space elements along with puffy clouds. Arranged them on my night sky panel.

Added those circles with dimension as steam.

Added the sentiment on a banner.

Embellished my rocket with Nuvo clear crystal drops for some shine and some tiny star sequins.

Happy crafting!

Watercolored Botanical Roses Bouquet with gold!

 Hello friends!

  Happy Friday!

For today's card, I made my own floral bouquet using various stamp sets.

I started with a watercolored white CS with a floral bouquet image in my mind.

I started with two large rose flowers as shown in the below pic, masked around them and just stamped those roses. Heat embossed in Rich gold pale EP. Then next I added a couple of more flowers from differents flower sets, some are inked and some are heat embossed. Added those botanical leaves using an embossing pen and heat embossed them too. 

Now loosely watercolored my gold embossed rose flowers for an abstract look.

 Birthday wishes text was heat embossed in gold.

Then I added a die-cut word "special" in metallic gold with pop dots.

I added this panel on a gold card base. Some gold sequins added the perfect amount of accents to finished this card.

Hope you like it!

Have a wonderful day!

Cosmos in summery colors and dry embossing!

Hello everyone!

Happy Tuesday!

When I invest in a craft supply, it always makes me extra happy when I find that I get a lot of use out of it. We all have made those impulse purchases that resulted in a product that collect dust in our craft area, Right? I want to show you a little something different that I have used the heck out of!

I used an embossing folder which dusted for so many years with good use of it. I want to share them with you, so you too can emboss and crank out some all occasion cards!

 Firstly I stamped the floral images with Misti using DO as shown below.

I coloured them with my Polychromos.

Then I inked my embossing folder and sandwich it through my embossing machine where I wanted that design with some colours.

Here is where the magic happens! Isn't that cool!

Then I placed my card on a white card base and trimmed a corner, Splattered some black ink with a sentiment.

I am sure you can think of many more! 

And give it a try yourself.

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!

Deep underwater scene!

 Hello everyone!

Happy Saturday!

I absolutely love summer and underwater theme cards and made my own background! Are you ready to make it with me?

I have created a deep underwater background themed card combining different stamp sets and have a lot of details. I just love coral reefs from Tropical Scenes so much that I can't stop creating this ocean scene!

I am in Top 3! Yayyyy!

https://daranddiane.blogspot.com/2021/08/colors-of-summer-winners.html

It is a little big size card because it gave me a bit more space to work with. Firstly I blended some DI on a watercoloured sheet in a circular motion using a foam blending brush. Then die cutting a scalloped border rectangle frame out of this background.

Then stamped a shark, watercoloured it, added some dots to its body for some interest and fussy cut it.

Then I hand-painted directly some coral reefs, plants, starfish, seaweeds and sun rays in the water using acrylic paints to my background panel.  

 I added a cluster of small fishes in the deep water to the sunrays. A sea horse is stamped and heat embossed in white EP, watercoloured. I stamped some fish on a white CS and fussy cut them.

I handpainted a jellyfish in the end too!

Now arranged them all to create my scene in deep water. Added some dots for more interest. 

Added that scalloped frame which I made a stack of 4 in all for some dimension and added a sentiment in black.

Some close-ups:

I hope you like my underwater scene card and are inspired to create for the Cut It Up Challenge!
