To create my card, I stamped my image on an ultra-smooth white CS in Jet black ink. And quickly applied clear gloss EP for some shine. 

Love the detailings on the dragonfly and handwritten script with some damask design!

Then blended some distress inks. Watercolored my dragonfly and tiny butterflies using ZIG brushes.

Die-cut a Hello word 3 times and heat embossed it using clear gloss EP.

Added glossy accent for a 3 D look on the time image. Added a half circle die in black to the time-image.

For the finishing touch added some flowers with twine and stones in the end!

Hope you like it!

Happy crafting!

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!

Cardstock: Coconut white CS

Stamp: Pure Florals- Cosmos from Uniko stamps

Embossing Folder: Garden floral set from Sizzix

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!
