Handmade by G3

I played along Jennifer Rzasa's gradient glitter technique which kindly shared in a video tutorial couple fo days ago. I had my Lil' Inkers Designs goodies arrive yesterday. So I set out to play with them using Jennifer's technique. Here is my card.

I went for an ombre of pinks to purple glitter using Swirls cover die plate. I trimmed the diecut after I did the glitter and foam mounted it on the card front. I have also white heat embossed the Modern Mehnidi flowers on purple cardstock diecut and layered as a cluster. The sentiment is stamped in purple ink on white card stock strip.

Here is the close up of the card.

Here is the link to Jennifer's Video. It is an awesome technique. You will love it. The effect of the glitter is beautiful in real. Photos don't do justice. So give it a try and see it for yourself.

Thanks for stopping by!

Not that type of kissing challenge but I do like the way you think :) This is kissing technique challenge using stamps. Simon Says Stamp store has this challenge on Lily Pad Cards blog. I remember seeing it some where, tried the technique on a card and totally forgot about it. Yesterday I when I was browsing, I came across this challenge on Lily Pad Cards blog. Aha! I remembered the card I made :) 

So here is my card for the kissing challenge.

I have used Leaves and butterfly from Woodgrain Silhouettes Additions from Wplus9 and kissed it with woodgrain stamp from Woodgrain Silhouettes again from Wplus9. It is a cool technique. Will have to use it more often. 

Supplies:

Cardstock: Stampers Select White, Kraft from Papertrey Ink

Stamp sets: Woodgrain Silhouettes and Woodgrain Silhouettes Additions from Wplus9

Inks: Kiwi Kiss and Soft Suede from SU

Accessories: Circle dies from Couture Creations.

I recently found this blog called Lily Pad Cards and I am so glad I did. There are so many challenges, tutorials, guest designer articles and videos. I spent one night until 1.00AM viewing all the videos from the blog. Couldn't stop viewing until my eyelids refused to open lol!

Anyway, I loved all of them but this video by Vicky stood out for me. Two things about the video made me want to try a card of my own. First is blending distress inks. I have been having distress inks for like donkey years and not being using them other than distressing the edges. Secondly, the stamp set from Craft Meows called Life is a Carnival. I love this set but have not used it so much. So I pulled this set out, my distress inks and the sponging tool and made this card.

I love the pop of colours from blending distress inks. Inspite of distressing, blending inks, the card is still clean and simple. Thats what I wanted to achieve. So happy with the result. Thanks Vicky:)  I will use distress inks more often from now on.

 

Supplies:

Cardstock: Kraft and Vintage Cream from Papertrey Ink

Stamp set: Life is a Carnival from Craft Meows

Inks: Worn Lipstick, Fired Brick, Peeled Paint, Broken China and Aged Mahogany Distressed Inks and Stazon Black Ink

Accessories: Tim Holtz's sponging tool

Hello everybody,

How is the New Year treating you? It has been good so far except I am bored doing the same things over and over again everyday. I would love a break. But cannot see any coming though! 

One thing I don't get bored doing is craft. So I browsed through my Pinterest board and found an inspirational picture and made cards using it. Here is inspirational picture.

Looks so modern and pretty. I love cloud like effect on it, the Eiffel tower and the stamps too. Love the plane but I don't have a small plane stamp on me.
I tried distress ink and mini mister technique on my panel. Then stamped a few stamps on it and here is how my panel looked like

I did a horizontal panel as well.

Now using these panels I made my cards. This the vertical card.

This is the horizontal card.

I love how they turned out. Many layers of stamps give depth to panel. I used about 4 different set of stamps from four different companies.Here are the list of supplies.

Supplies:

Cardstock: Papertry Ink Cream cardstock. SU's Watercolour paper.

Inks: Fired Brick, Worn Lipstick and Antique Linen DIstress Inks, SU's Basic Black and Memento Black Ink.

Stamp Set: Postmarks from Papertrey Ink, Spring Post from Wplus9, First Class Friend from MFT and Artistic Etchings from SU.

Accessories: Twine from Doodlebug, Paper roses from Prima Marketing.

I have a mini blog hop coming up tomorrow. So make sure you tune in :)

Have a great evening!
