Sending you loads of love | Card

Hi, crafty friends!
I have a card to share today I made for the Mudra October Challenge inspiration. I had a lot of fun creating it. Here's a look at my card :

I have used the Mudra Daisy Blooms set for the flowers which have been heat-embossed in white & fussy-cut, and Mudra Raksha Bandhan Sketches set for the sentiment. Added a gold glitter die-cut frame for some sparkle and shine to the card. The background has been stenciled using a Heidi Swapp stencil. Also, I added few clear droplets to finish off my card :)

Linking my card to Paru's Card Making Challenges - Add a hint of Gold, Lulupu - Bling ding with a stamping twist, Just Add ink - Add 'G' ( I have used a Gold Glitter frame) & Simon Says Stamp - Totally Resistible

Have a good day everyone!

Thank you Card !!

Hi friends,

I have a quick card to share today. A few days ago I was lucky enough to win a spot in the current Online WaterColor Card Class (Exploring Mediums) by the very talented Jennifer McGuire and friends..They have such awesome teachers and I got to learn tons from this class.

My card is based on the Day 2 Class Homework which was exploring traditional watercolor mediums like Tube paint's, Distress inks and Watercolor cakes...For my card though, I have used the Altenew Dye inks to do my coloring and I have followed the technique that Jennifer Rzasa taught using Distress inks and solid image stamps ...Before I explain further, here's a look at my card :

To begin with, I did try out the stamping with Distress inks but found no success .. In the process also managed to spoil one of my finished card panel's when I got clumsy with water and brush :(.... I have used the Altenew Lacey Scrolls stamp set for the solid image stamping ....The inks I used are Altenew Grapevine and Ruby Red for the flowers and the PTI Simply Chateruese ink for the leaves and foliage...Once I stamped the flower, I went in with a wet brush and blended the colors and kept adding a bit more of Grapevine ink which I had smooshed on my acrylic block. Finally ended my card with a few ink splatter's using the Grapevine ink and die cut sequins from the Mama elephant Confetti die..I really missed not having real sequins in gold to add to my card :(
My card colors and design are inspired from this time's Altenew challenge ..Here is a look at the beautiful inspiration picture :

Also entering my card in the current Lulupu challenge Sparkle and Shine.
Hope you all like my card ...Do leave your views regarding it ...I love to hear from you :)
Have a nice day everyone !!

Celebrate with W & W

Hi friends,
I am blogging after a long break since my mojo had gone for a break as well..But the iNSD day challenges hosted at the W & W blog in collaboration with the Pink Fresh Studio really got me going and I have a card to share today !! YAY !!

Here is the card which I made for the Sketch challenge.

And here's a look at the sketch on which it is based :

I'm also entering this card in the 'Make your own background' challenge at Winnie and Walter &

Simon Says Stamp - Lets get sentimental challenge, Happy Little Stamper : May CAS challenge

To make this card, I first mixed and matched my sentiments from the W & W 'Party' stamp set and lined it up diagonally on my block, inked it with various shades of HA inks and did repeated stamping. I stamped and embossed the cake from the W & W 'Sugar Rush' set and did some loose watercoloring on the background as well as on the cake. I wanted to have a soft look to it, rather than proper shading so I just swiped a brush with clean water over the watercolor paper and then dropped it my different colors. I have used Squeezed Lemonade, Peacock Feathers and Shabby Shutters Distress inks. Then, I die cut the cake image using a circle die and mounted it on foam dots. Scattered a few die cut stars and stamped in my main sentiment to finish off my card.

Supplies used :

Paper- Fabriano Watercolor Brustro, Campap White, DCWV Glitzy Glitter Matstack.

Dies- Mama Elephant Confetti die, Spellbinders Standard Circles die, Paper Smooches Dots and Dashes border dies.
