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!!!

Celebrate Your Day

Hello & welcome to my second post today!

Sharing a card I made keeping in mind the W&W belated 2nd birthday bash.

This card is very different from my style. It is not just a single layer card (and yet has multiple layers) so to say but also the colors used are not the ones I usually work with. Would love to know what you think of it.

For the card I embossed the kraft card base with WRMK embossing folder. The frame is a die cut (about 4 layers) & colored with Chameleon pens. The double layered rose in the same color is is fussy cut. The stamped leaves & sentiment are from W&W.

Added some highlights to the flower & leaves with a gel pen.

The part of the card front within the delicate frame has shimmer (Wink of Stella)

I Love You

Good Morning!

With February almost here I see so much Valentine inspiration  in blogland & I wanted to make a card too but without using too much red! 

Here's my card for today - 

The focal element of this card is the spot light die cut tag (Paper Trey Ink). 

What is a Valentine card without a heart! I stamped the heart from Simon Says Stamp "I See You" set on the tag such that a bit is stamped off the die cut, on to the card stock. Heat embossed this in silver embossing powder.

I glued 5 tags together for the spotlight effect. I alternated a black & red tag to add some interest & I loved the dash of red popping from the sides. 

I covered the heart, only on the tag with clear Wink of Stella, this created magic & further high lighted the heart.

Fridge Magnet - Dream

Hello friends!

Hope you are all looking forward to the weekend as much as I am!

Sharing a fridge magnet that resulted from a gessoed 4x4 canvas lying on my table for sometime.

For the background I grabbed my fav colors of gelatos from the same color family  & scribbled over the canvas. Next I got messy with my fingers to blend the colors. 

The dream catcher is a silhouette cut.  Added 'dream' (from a collage sheet) in the center & overlaid it with a glass cabochon for dimension. For shimmer I used the Wink of Stella clear over the dream catcher. Finally sealed the canvas with mod podge.

Hi everyone!
Delighted to share that I am now a part of the design team at CRAFT YOUR PASSION. Our challenge theme this week is Bright & Sparkly. Inky Impressions is our wonderful sponsor & the winner gets $10 Gift Certificate to spend on-line in store. I chose to play with this adorable image - CAT LOVE.          

I colored the image with my Faber Castell pencils & then fussy cut it. I did a bit of paper piecing here - the fussy cut moon & the kittens are glued over the digi stamp. The background is with distress ink. Added some shimmer over the moon with Wink of Stella. Wanted to add a sentiment but I think the cute image & the banner say it all.
Do pop over to the Craft Your Passion Challenges blog to see the fabulous designs by our talented DT! We'd love to see you join us with your projects.........................you have until Sunday, 10/11        to join!

Tag in a tag

Good Evening!

The current challenge at Beyond Grey Challenges is to make a tag with textures. I surely wanted to play along because I just love textures.

Enjoyed playing along with texture paste (homemade) & Tim Holtz layering stencil (rays) to create the base. Blended distress inks (mustard seed, spiced marmalade, rusty hinge & fired brick) over this several times. I then placed the stencil over the tag again.............this time I placed the design between the textured rays & then misted water to create some more rays! Take a closer look between the textured rays & you will know what I mean. The script was stamped over this diagonally as if emerging from the rays & the sentiment stamped on another cardstock & glued with foam dots. A beach chair charm dangling over the awesome trim coordinates so well with the sentiment. The bottom of the tag with metal corners has a little vellum pocket for another tag which is made from shrink plastic!  You have to see this tag in person to admire the super shimmer of the wink of stella over the textured rays.

I enjoyed making this so much that I have already started with another tag & writing this post while the background dries! So please do stop by again tomorrow.
