Altenew July challenge

Hello everyone,

I made this card based on "Altenew july inspiration challenge".I have used Golden garden stamp set for my card,i always love it when the design is slightly angled,the flowers and stamps in this set are in different angels which makes its look so elegant when arranged together.

I stamped some flowers and leaves with color inks directly onto the card base,the top most flower is stamped ,colored with zig markers and die cut with matching dies.This must be the cleanest card i have ever done expect the fact that i added some splatters,hehe.But i can't help it otherwise i feel my card is incomplete especially with minimalist design like this.

Altenew May 2017 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello everyone!!

i am super excited and happy to be joining the "Altenew May release blog hop". Its a absolute honor to be a part of my most favorite and one of the best stamp companies new release.

You must have come from TaeEun yoo's blog,if not you can check the complete blog hop list on Altenew blog.

This release is fabulous as ever which includes stamps,dies and embossing powders.I have made four cards in total using them,so lets go straight to the post.

Enchanted iris 

 I stamped the "Enchanted iris" flowers  with black archival ink,water colored them using zig markers and added a bit of shadow around the flowers with a grey marker.I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set on a black cardstock using versamark and heat embossed with Golden peach embossing powder.I finished of the card with some faux stitching,sequins,enamel dots and twine.

Halftone everything + Layered plaid cover die A

I kept this card quiet simple to show the beauty of the Plaid cover die A,i just created the background with color burst Ultramarine blue and violet,diecut the panel with white cardstock and layered it on top.I heat embossed the word everything from the Halftone everything stamp set(which has some really great sentiments) on a black cardstock,heat embossed using Golden peach embossing powder and die cut it using the coordinating die set.The size of the word is big enough to use as focal point,i completed the sentiment using "you do rock" which is stamped on a white diecut flag.

Best buds

 I arranged the stem,buds and leaves from the Best buds stamp set on the card panel using misti and stamped them using archival black ink.Watercolored them using zig markers and finished it off with a sentiment from same stamp set.This set is great for friendship theme cards which feature some beautiful sentiments.I added a washi tape strip on the side of the card panel to add some contrast.

Enchanted iris + Halftone everything die set

For this card i stamped and colored the flowers from Enchanted iris stamp set on a separate cardstock,fussy cut them and mounted onto the card panel. The Halftone everything die set has two dies,one of them coordinates with the stamp set whereas the other one is a stand alone die.I die cut the word with black cardstock and stamped the word "Happy" form the Halftone everything stamp set.Finished off the card with glitter washi tape and enamel dots.

Birthday Balloons

Hello friends,
  Its my turm over at "Die cuts and more " blog today to share some inspiration..I have made a birthday card with newest "BALLOONS" stencils.The size of the balloons are quiet big enough to create beautiful backgrounds,and it also comes with masks.How cool is that?,you can create so many different effects with this stencil .

To create the background i used Mustard seed,carved pumpkin,picked raspberry distress inks,started of with light color and then  overlapped it with darker colors.This is also a two step stencil ,the second layer comes the balloon strings and highlights.I just used a black marker to draw the details with the second stencils.

I stamped the bears and elephant with archival jet black using stampoholic nano.Colored the images using zig markers.

Hope you enjoyed my inspiration for today

Hello Friends,

 Welcome to first official blog hop of "Die cuts and more".We are show casing the newest stencils from the October release.

My first card is made with the newest two-step stencils-Peacock feather.Okay,now you must have never seen me using stencils to create a soft inked  background,have you?lol.Thats the interesting part of being in design teams,coming out of your comfort zone and make something to highlight the product.You can really create some interesting and colorful backgrounds with the two-step stencils,the possibilities are endless.I have used stencils to create a soft background with Iced spruce and wilted violet distress inks.

I colored the flowers with zig marker,fussy cut them and arranged them on my card.The beautiful clear droplets add delicate touch to the card.The sentiment "Best wishes" die  is from DCAM brand.

I have also created another card with the newest Diwali dies from "Die cuts and more".To create the background.i sponged some Peacock feathers and pick raspberry distress inks roughly on the card panel,sprayed some water to activate it and heat set it,i just loved the texture it creates .

Hope you enjoyed my inspiration,dont forget to visit each designers blog and DCAM blog to enjoy lots more inspiration and  to win some fabulous prizes.
