Mocha Happy!

Hello & welcome back!

Its the last day of the Summer's Coffee Lover's Blog Hop & 
I managed to brew another card while sipping my cuppa BRU (my fav coffee!) 

For this card I first created a MOCHA patch in the card base, using vintage photo distress oxide & gold alcohol splash splatters. I then spritzed some water for added texture. Loved the gold shimmer of the alcohol splash. The image from Newton's Nook is colored with copics & sentiment is from Altenew. To finish the card I added a few coffee stains & this sort of brought the layout together!

I like to use gold alcohol splash in my cards because the gold kind of resists layers over it! A closer look at this image & you will understand what I mean!

Good Afternoon!

September 5th, is celebrated as Teacher's Day in India & I love making cards for teachers. I have been sharing these over the last few days. If you have missed them please go to the posts here, here & here. 

In today's post I share two cards with the same layout with minor changes. 

I have used DCWV pattern papers & die cuts in both. In the first card the copic colored crayons are from the Lawn Fawn stampe & die set - You color my world.

For the second card I replaced the crayons with a fun test tube die cut, which I'm sure any science teacher will love!

Over the last few years I made post it notes & cards for teachers which are in the links here, here & here.

Beautiful Day!

Hello & welcome back to my blog!

For my card today I stamped the images from the  Altenew 'beautiful day' stamp set & colored the images with copic markers (just a beginner at copic coloring & own a limited supply). These were fussy cut & glued to the stamped kraft card base. I loved the pop of color!

Added some shimmer with the clear Wink of Stella, beautiful isn't it!!!

Good Morning! 

Welcome to my blog!

Sharing a stamped card today which is a part of The Daily Marker 30 Day Color Challenge by Kathy. She is an inspiration & its always fun to join her month long coloring challenge!

For this card I have used Altenew Persian Motifs stamp & colored the background using the limited copics I have in my stash!

For the sentiment I die cut "Enjoy" on the stamped panel & also from black card stock (3 pieces) & glue them all together. 

I stamped "its your birthday" inside the card.
