Diwali Card 3

Hello again,

The third card in a row.

This is one such simple card to make. Firstly, I have stamped the Ganesha image from Mudra's diwali release. I colored it with Zig clear markers. I fussy cut it . I took a kraft cardstock (my first time with krafts). I blended white pigment ink through a handcut stencil making rays.

I adhered the image with a double sided tape. The sentiment is stamped and embossed with white.

I have finished the card with gold sequins from the house of Mudra.

Diwali Card 2

Hello all,

Here is my second post for the day! 

I have come again with a diwali card. Take a look:

I have used eve stampset from Mudra. I have used the stencil from Craftreat.

I have first blended distress inks on a white cardstock and die cut with circular diecuts. 

Then I blended white pigment ink through craftreat florish stencil.

I took a half cardstock and stamped the rangoli design from Festival of lights by Mudra. I stamped the layered diya from diwali decors by Mudra, fussy cut it and adhered it a double sided tape as shown in the picture.

The sentiment is from the Diwali sentiments by Mudra.

I have finished the card with splatters of gold pearl perfect from Ranger.

I hope you have liked the project. Linking this to :

Magical Unicorn Card

Hello all,

Its been a real long time that I have posted anything on my blog. Here I come with an interactive card that I had  made last week.

The supplies are from the house of Mudra and this is one of the projects I made from their Latest release.

Here is the video of the project. Let me describe the making process to you.

• I took a white cardstock and blended distress inks of seven color lightly. 
• Then I sprayed mist on it and let the water to react with the inks.
• I cut a circular panel with a die.
• Then I stamped the unicorn from Stay Magical set from Mudra, colored it, and fussy cut it. 
• Meanwhile I stamped the same image on to an acetate sheet.
• Then I adhered the colored and fussy cut image on a cardstock with the sentiment from the same set coupled with few heart die cuts after seeing the space through the colored die cut panel as prepared before.
• Then I adhered the acetate sheet carefully to the colored panel after placing it exactly on to the adhered colored image. A lot more care is taken to place it on the colored image so that it doesnt misplace.
• I Took double sided tape and adhered on to the colored panel keeping a space for the tag to move freely.
• To complete the magic, I added a tag in between the acetate and the stamped image.

Here is the look of the final project in still photos:

Geometric Butterfly

Hello all,

With the ongoing Cas-ual Friday challenge, I thought to make a CAS card with the Geometric Butterfly from the Geometric Nature stamp set from Mudra.

The set is wonderful and provide a wide range of possibilities. I stamped the butterfly from the set on to a paper with Versamark and embossed it white. I colored them using Felt pens.

Fussy cut them and adhered on a Grey Cardstock with double sided tape. 

The sentiment is from the same set. I thought to choose pastel colors for the background against the colorful popping butterfly. 

I have used washi tapes to border the panel on three sides. The tiny butterfly is from the same set.

Science of love

Hello again,

This time I am sharing a card made with pattern papers. I never pattern papers as such. I redeemed my winning prize voucher from Lulupu craft lounge and bought a pack of pattern papers : My funny valentine by Pebbles for this valentine's day. 

I chose one of the papers with Happy valentine's day written all over. I cut a die frame out of the Gina Marie designs in pink color (cardstock). I stamped some distress inks with the background stamp from Hero Arts. Then I sprayed pearl mist all over the circular die cut to give a translucent look. 

It looks a cover of vellum over the stamped background with the effect of pearl mist. I stamped some images from Lawn Fawn's Science of love and colored them with Crayola markers which are not good as copics but yes they are the cheaper alternatives.

I took the sentiment from the same set. Here it goes:

Masked valentine's day card

Hello all,

This is another card i had made for my debut post in Mudra blog. I have used their products solely here in this post.

I first took a card stock and masked it with a die cut from Gina Marie designs heart shapes. Then I applied distress inks with blending foam. the colors I chose were Raspberry pink, Festive berries, Spiced marmalade. I did not blend that well. Ii splattered some water droplets with a paint brush and waited for the magic to create. 

I stamped some hearts of different sizes from Mudra Clear Stamps - Heart Background Builder with White pigment ink.

I stamped the sentiment from Mudra Clear Stamps - Love set and the letter 'u' from Brushed alphas.

I ended it with a glitter sheet border. Thats it!

Gateway card

Hello,

Here is a another card which I made in minutes. I took the Heart of Gold set from Neat and Tangled and stamped it on a White Cardstock with Versamark.

Then I embossed the same with gold embossing powder from Ranger.

I colored the sections of the image with distress inks leaving some sections in white for the contrast.

I die cut the same with the coordinating Die from Neat and Tangled.

The I took a red card stock and folded in three parts. I ran through an embossing folder from We r memory keepers (geometric) to give the effect. 

I stamped the sentiment from Lots of love by Avery alle with Black archival ink on a vellum.

Welcome the otters

Hello again,

Here is another card which i made in a jiffy. I have used Hero arts triangles back ground stamp to create a distressed background.

I stamped, colored and fussy cut the otter fro MFT.

I have used the Neat and Tangled set of Heart of gold for the die, stamp and the sentiment.

It is always fun to create shaker cards. I found the heart from Neat and Tangled to be a perfect element for shaker cards. To match up the sentiment, I added some tiny heart die cuts from glitter sheets. The stamped and colored hearts are from the Heart Background builder from Mudra Craft stamps.

I finished the card with some enamel dots.

Heart of Gold

Hello there,

Today's second card on the blog. I had bought this set of Heart of Gold from Neat and Tangled and I immediately fell in love with the set. I did not get tired of stamping with the same again and again and this single image of the triangled-heart is way too gorgeous!

I stamped randomly on a CS and embossed them with gold. I colored them with Distress inks. The sentiment is from the Avery Alle.

This is a much simple card which probably doesn't need any rules to follow or any tip as such needed. Just a tip: be careful while stamping with Versamark so that you do not overlap them anywhere keeping the gaps more or less uniform.

Thank you !

Watercolor craze!

Hello all,

Today i am gonna share one card that I made for my debut post in Mudra'a blog (you can find the link in my earlier post)

when it comes to water color I go gaga over Fuji or transparent colors, not only they come at a really cheap price of 75 INR only but also they last long, water proof and rich in their results!

This time I decided to cut my time really short for card making. I took a Brushto 250gsm watercolor cardstock and ran my wet brushes with Light Blue, Light Green and Yellow colors from the folios over the CS.

I decided to let t dry on its own rather going for heat drying. I stamped images from the Beautiful sets from Mudra that you can find here

I used the Banner Trio dies from W9plus for the sentiment.

I completed the sentiment with the Mudra Clear Stamps - Brushed Alphas. This is a versatile one with which you can create any sentiment of your own choice.

I completed the card with borders of glitter sheets.

Water colored peek a boo

Hello Gorgeous,

Today I am sharing a card that I had made for the Debut post of Mudra craft stamps.

You can check the full post here >>

http://mudracraftstamps.blogspot.in/2017/02/mudra-ct-debut-ria-banerjee.html

I have used some stamps from Mudra like the Linen Blooms and Daisy blooms and colored them with Fuji or transparent water colors, I Love them as compared to Distress inks as they dont give a faded look afterwards, they are always bright!

I cut down the central part with Gina Marie circular stitched die and used the sentiment over it from Mudra again ( 'Love' set )

It's simple to do, Take a final look:
