Color bursts fly!

Hello everyone!
Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Mothers Day is celebrated all over the world on second Sunday in the month of May. The day is dedicated to all the mothers for their love and care towards their children. Right from the birth, mothers form a natural bond with their kids. Right from feeding them to make them sleep, mothers take care of their children like no one else in the family. And thus to honor them, Mother’s Day is celebrated all over the world.

Today, I played with color bursts and got awesome results! I played with a very cute image first time from Little Claires and is very perfect to celebrate Mothers day ! Here is my creation.

First of all I placed the vine stencil on a white CS and randomly sprinkle some color bursts and mist it with water, this sheet I used for making my own handmade flowers and stamping the image. Now I reversed the stencil on an another piece of CS and pressed the stencil gently, got the awesome monoprint result! Then I applied embossing paste using double stenciling, Look at below pic:

 Stamped the image on the first color burst sheet in archival black ink using my Misti for good result and fussy cut it. Took a MDF circle, heat embossed it in metallic gold, using Stick it adhesive sheet, I die cut a golden glitter foam sheet and stuck it with acetate sheet. Placed some transparent sequins and beads inside and adhered it on my main panel. Now placed a jute lace on the white CS and adhered my main panel on it.

Then I made my own handmade flowers, added some jute strings and arrange the floral decoration for a wild look. Added few colorful feathers and a cute metal nest charm.

 Stamped the sentiment on a scrap of black CS and heat embossed it with embossing powder and labelled them. Cut out a Hugs sentiment using stick it adhesive sheet, easy peasy!!!

Hope you enjoyed this beautiful creation!

Hey there, friend !

Hello, everyone!

Today I want to show the positive and negative use of circle die with watercolored flowers!
I am inspired by the very talented crafters Neha and Milka's Math challenge creation!

 Firstly, I stamped the Dandelions using embossing ink and black heat embossed. Then, I kept my different size circles (used as masking) on the stamped images. Wet with water mist inside the circle and applied distress ink using my brush and again slightly mist with water. Lift the extra water with my water paper. Now remove all the die circles, misted again with water for more dimension. Added some white ink splatters.

 Now, I cut different circle dies. Placed the die cut panel on a shiny black CS and adhered all the circles using foam dots for negative and positive dimension. To create more interests, I added some different vellum circles. Added a cute vellum butterfly with white stones and embellished with black pearl dots. Stamped the sentiment on a piece of black CS and heat embossed it in white, wrap the double shade twine, added a tiny wood veneer and adhered it to my base panel using foam dots.

Isn't it something challenging and different!!! I really enjoyed!

Supplies used:
White CS, Black CS, Vellum sheet
Dandelion stamp set from Timbers Clair, sentiment from Reverse Confetti circle sentiment sets
Nesting circles from We R Memory Keepers; Butterfly die from Spellbinders Butterfly corner set
Distress inks: scattered straw, Mustard seed, dried marigold, Carved pumpkin
Wow embossing powders: opaque bright white, primary ebony
Ranger Liquid Onyx pearl; Dylusion ink spray white linen
Heart shape  wood veneer, few silver stones

Hello all!

Today, my card features a landscape with cute critters!

Priya from Color Conceptions sent us a special paper called Bielo as a gift and part of her Birthday Celebration, and Yes the paper is so smooth for stamping, distressing, watercoloring, perfect and precious for me! I don't want to be it waste so I used some part of it for stamping and distressing for layering only:) I wanna want to save for more experiments(mean me)!!!

I used Hero Arts stamp set which I also won as a prize from Color Conceptions and this is the best time to use them in my creation, Thank u so much Priya!

I made my own frame using PS Border 1 and SSS  frames. I created my own background for the landscape by sponging each layers using distress inks. After the colors were blended, I splattered all layers with water droplets and used a paper towel to pick up some of the colors where the drops had been. And adhered all the layers on another white panel.
   See the gorgeous result, how easily they blend on Bielo!!!
Now, Adhered everything with glue.

I colored these cute critters, mushroom house, tiny flowers using distress markers and inks, fussy cut them, outlined the edge again using a black pen.
The sentiment is stamped on a black CS and heat embossed it, fussy cut it as a speech bubble. Cut the bottom corner using corner punch. And applied liquid pearls on my flower centers and white dots on cute mushrooms  for more dimension and interest!

Hope you like my card!

Supplies used:
White CS 300gsm, Bielo super white CS, Black CS
Dies- Paper Smooches Border 1; Simon Says Stamp Frames sssd11373
Hero Arts Woodland Creatures stamp set
Archival jet black ink pad
Distress inks- Salty ocean, mermaid lagoon, fossilized amber, mowed lawn, crackled pistachio
Distress markers- Festive berries, squeezed lemonade, gathered twigs, ripe persimmon, picked raspberry, seedless preserve, mowed lawn, iced spruce

Flip flop Portable card set

Hello friends!
Mother's Day is just around the corner, and if you're close with your mom, you know she deserves the best!
A surprise and unique gift for Mom!
This time, I have something different than my usual works! I created a portable and folded card which can be used in many ways along with one more card set!

Picture heavy post!

I used Papericious papers from 2 different stacks, they are sooooo beautifully designed. Used Tim Holtz stencils to create beautiful, delicate and matching textures and sentiments from Altenew stamp set, script sentiment too. I attached the metal corners with metal beads to stand it prpoerly, you can use it as lamp shade too. And if you remove the corners, you can easily fold it!

The main panel.
I love this gorgeous paper, added a window chipboard frame, perfect for embellishment, handmade and die cut flowers.

                                  
The second panel.

                                 
The third panel.
It can also hold the most favorite photos, memories and messages.

The fussy cut PP charm piece is attached to the cardboard. I placed some micro beads and a metal embellishment and covered it with glossy accents to give a faux glass effect!

And the fourth panel.

Here is the matching card set!

I am very much inspired by golden work, floral adjustment, and textures!
                                                  
I am just loving the Wild Hibiscus set , perfect sentiments for mom!

Look at the wild hibiscus, how gorgeous they are with gold shimmer! I watercoloered and fussy cut  them with a cute butterfly and applied some gold shimmer and a golden doily.

I placed a chipboard sentiment which is distressed and applied glossy accents for more fun and glossy accents droplets!

When you opened the woodgrain panel, it looks like that.

And here is the inside view:

Here is the final pic with different view:

I hope you enjoy this creative process!!!

A card set using one stamp set

Hello, all!
How are you! Hope super fine!
This time, I created a card set focusing on one stamp set! This stamp set is sooooo pretty and versatile, I am in love with it!!!

 Firstly, I made a CAS card after a long gap with cute critters and here it is: I love the soft color palette:)

Here is my take on YNS sketch and color challenge, I used both!



Stamped some paws randomly with Versamark embossing ink on a super white CS and heat embossed it with opaque bright white powder. Then, I simply added some beautiful blends of distress inks with perfect pearls water on my block( to add a bit of shimmer and shine) and allowed them to flow!

Stamp the critters images on a textured CS. I used watercolored pencils to add definition and contrast to the images.
Die cut an oval shape out of black CS and poke the holes measuring with pencil and tied it with a double color twine. Stamped the sentiment and heat embossed it. Placed the oval die cut in the center panel. Added these cute critters using foam pads and a tiny metal heart.

On a second card, I created a Sweet Birthday celebration scene using same stamp set and lot of dies.

I started with watercolored CS and blended the distress inks to create the sky and ground. Then I cut some grass stripes and blended them with Distress inks. Die cut a window and using my die as a stencil I sponged it. Die cut a puffy cloud out of white CS and a piece of vellum too. Die cut some flowers out of light and dark pink colored foam sheets. Stamped all the images on a textured CS and colored them using my watercolor pencils.
Before arranging the whole scene, I placed all the grass stripes and cloud borders on my white panel to create the stitching detail for more interest using a washi tape. You can see clearly in the above pic.

Stamped the sentiment on a cloud border and heat embossed it. Stamped some stars in jet black ink and arranged the whole scene using foam pads. Then tied a cute heart along with twine and embellished the window with few pearls.

Here are the both cards!

 Hope you enjoyed my creation!

Supplies used:
Super white CS, Vellum sheet, watercolored sheet, textured sheet
Stamp: Phoebe with her wagon from YNS
Dies: Rectangles from Tattered lace; Classic ovals from Spellbinder Nestabilities; Window one Spellbinders Shapeabilities; Grass die from IO; Puffy cloud borders and stitched borders from Lawn Fawn; Flowers from

Makeover of a jute hand clutch!

Hello friends!
                       This time I tried to create something different, the makeover of a jute hand clutch!
Isn't it cute!!!!

         I applied gesso on the front cover (2 coats) and let it dry. Using Tim Holtz stencil I created my background with distress inks. Then I experimented to stamp this cute Tilda image directly using Misti, but because of jute stuff, it doesn't appear well( I tried so many times). So I stamped the image on 400gsm white sheet and colored the image using distress markers.
         I made my own handmade flowers inspiring by Dr. Sonia S V. She is very talented and a master in making handmade flowers and, this time, I made my rose flowers out of felts! She is celebrating her Celebrating 5 Million Page views!!!! Can you imagine guys!!!

        Then I attached the different laces to my clutch and decorated it with my flowers, a jute butterfly, felt leaves, mulberry flower in green, white pearl string and few sequins and a cute bird cage charm hanging with a brad!

          Hope you all  enjoyed this cute creation! And its perfect for gifting someone to make her day more brighter!

Supplies used:
Distress markers: Ripe persimmon, squeezed lemonade, salty ocean, peacock feathers, picked raspberry, seedless preserves, gathered twigs,
Promarkers: Putty
Stabilo black fine pen
Archival jet black ink
Tim Holtz Scribbles layering stencil
Die-namics Large and Small rose die set
