"Let your dreams take flight" Floral Card

Hi all, 

This is my card made for Lulupu Challenge #18 - Load it up. 

I have also Made a video tutorial on making Easy Paper Gardenias, Do check it here. 

I have made a typical floral card. A Floral card is what I always prefer for loved ones, making my own flowers and gifting it as a card gives soo much happiness to me. 

To tell about this  card, it has so many layers and embellishments,,.. 

The base is an inked layer, the 2nd layer of white CS is also inked. 3rd The layer is of embossed card stock and I have inked it using Distress Inks giving a double shaded look. I don't know if someone has done it, this idea just came to my mind when inking the embossed CS. I used two colors to give a gradient  shade look, where these two colors where the ones I used in the flowers. (Dried Marigold and Spun Sugar) and the last layer is the decorative diecut with the sentiment saying "Let your dreams take Flight". I used this sentiment having in mind my close friend who got engaged last week. Wish I could send this to her all the way to India. 

Embellished with Handmade Gardenias, daisys, glittered flourishes , gems swirls, enamel dots and ribbons. 

The Gardenias and Daisys where made with the Digital Die cut, using my KNK Zing. The Cut Design was from a anonymous user from MTC library.

Hope you liked my card.

"Very Happy Birthday 2 You" Card with flowers n stuffs...

Hi friends, 

I am so happy and i am showing it through my card, with happy colors... 

I recently got my big shot machine (teal blue) and i totally love it.... yes its amazing... i am not much into die cutting, but love when it comes to coordinating stamps and dies... got it mainly for embossing... i am gonna come up with lots of cards with embossing for sure..... its fun .... :)

The card base is made with selective embossing and some inking.... except the light colored little flowers other are handmade... Punched, softened, curled, arranged and embellished in the centered. 

There two colors of enamel dots, the light colored pink one is from MME sweetest thing collection, the rose colored one is DIY enamel dots using Viva Paper Pen.... (Below are the details on how i made the enamel dots)

Enamel dots is a great embellishment for the projects especially for CAS style cards and layouts.. i got VIVA deco paper pen squeezed some a drop in a acetate sheet and after squeezing to the need of ur size take the sheet and give a slight dab from the bottom which ll make the squeezed drop look even and neat look.. allow it to dry for for 4-5 hrs and they are ready to add to ur projects. Don't not dry them on direct sun as they tend to crack, room temperature dry place would work. 

Supplies Used: 

PTI white CS for base, Sizzix Wooden embossing folder, 

Recollections CS for flowers and for sentiment die cut

Mcgill Floral blossom Punch set, PTI Framed Out #1 Stamp and coordinating die, Studio G mini heart punch,  Recollection flowers and glittered flowers, Echopark and Bo Bunny PP for small hearts, 

MME sweetest thing enamel dots, Viva Deco Paper Pen -  Magenta, Inkpad: Ranger Archival Black , PTI hawaiian shores, Hero arts Pale tomatoes, Antique Linen Distress

Pins, Blings, pearls and fabric brad sticker are from stash...
