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:

Its the time to try Handmade flowers!

Hello All, 

I was very eager to try the handmade flowers as soon I saw them in my news feed! The flowers complete the cards like a magic and moreover, I wanted to try something other than CAS style!

I thought for going with some 3D style in my project now.

I stamped the background with Hero Arts Garden tiles with gold embossing powder to finish. I waterwashed it with Victoria Velvet distress ink. (I loveee it !!!)
I cut the flower cut outs manually and inked them with festive berries distress ink
I left them to dry, arranged them with the pollens and finished it with some shimmer from wink of stella.
I have made two flowers of the same shape and size and also added some small handmade flowers to it.
I added some pearl strings to it and the sequins too

I have used the die cut as border to the sentiment (received as a gift)
Written the sentiment with hand and some ink splatters and its done.

I hope i have a lil justice with the flowers with my first try :)

It's Summer Time

Hello crafty friends,

Hope you all are doing well. And I hope you liked my last post :)

Today I am playing along Paru's card making challenges , and I am quite late for the participation.

Last March,I had won in the Fab n Funky challenges and won some digi stamps from The Paper shelter. I didn't know what to do with these stamps, but now I have got one project to do with it. In the whole lot of won stamps, I got one image of yummy ice cream and I thought what could be better than to use it for Summer theme for the challenge!

Moving to the project and its process, I printed the digi stamp on a paper, and colored it in all the possible way I could and fussy cut it. I made the background with a stencil and overlayed some stamped decorative tape pieces from Kaisercraft, trying to stick to the color of scorching summer (yellow, orange and red).

I added a quote myself with the hand lettering and some wired thread! And here it goes...

Another look of the same

I hope you liked it :)

Guest Designer at Peek-A-Boo designs India

Hello Crafty People,

Today, I have got the opportunity to design for Peek-a-Boo designs for this month.

Today I am going to show some of the projects that I did with the set that I received as my happy mail from Peek A Boo. The set- Flower in a Jar, is one such stamp set I have come across that has endless possibility to work with. Looking at the set only, gives you so many ideas. With this one set, you can assemble all the elements and even the smallest cute bee in one card but also you can use each and every element separately; I have tried to do the latter.

FIRST PROJECT:

For the first card that I have incorporated some painting skills of mine *grin* as the set gave me a beautiful picture to frame. I started with the Jar (the most beautiful element of the set). I stamped the Jar on a Water color Paper with two colors of distress inks viz. Gathered twigs from Tim Holtz distress inks and Green Garland from Artistry inks. First I stamped the Green on the stems and then the Brown on the rims of the jar to avoid merging these.

I loved the crisp image of the Jar and the stems. Then I took some water and a brush to wash the edges (but not too much) also by adding Broken china distress ink (to give a glass effect). I shaded the portion below the Jar with the same inks but this time the brown color on a greater proportion to get the dark shade.

Then I stamped all the flowers with Festive Berries Distress inks (to get the blotted effect) and shaded twice with the same ink to get some layers and finished it off with Gathered Twigs color for the last dark layer. For the leaves Green Garland again with the same technique as I did with flowers. Fussy cut all the flowers and the leaves and arranged it on the Jar simply by sticking it with glue.

I made some extensions to the bunch with the same used colors before to complete the picture. Lastly, the sentiment with some Archival Ink Black. And it’s done!!!!

With only Five colors the whole picture is complete :)

SECOND PROJECT:

For the second project I chose for a Tag. I took a cardstock, stamped the sentiment with Versamark and embossed it Black. I used a stencil and blended some Green Garland on it and again I stamped the Messy lines by Peek-a-Boo designs on it with the same color. I stamped the bunch of flowers separately and embossed it white. 

After that, I colored it with Peacock Feathers and Shaded Liliac distress inks and finished it with some sketching with dark blue, fussy cut them, and pasted it on the tags. And here it goes…

THIRD PROJECT:

My third project is again a card and again florals, as there are so many varieties of flowers to stamp, can’t get enough of one! I randomly stamped the roses with the leaves on a card stock. I colored it with Festive berries and Picked Raspberries, leaves with Mustard seed and Green Garland distress inks, and finished it off with some sketch pens (as they add the darkest shade I need all the times). The sentiment is embossed with white and here it looks like this…

FOURTH PROJECT:

My last project is with the tiniest stamp of the set, yes the BEE. The bee is too cute to ignore and I decided to make a whole card with the bee. I stamped, fussy cut, colored and pasted on a brown card stock. Made the edges on green with one of the designs from Its Plaid time by Peek-a-Boo. Some Mulberry flowers and a ribbon complete the Card.

 Stamps used:

I hope you liked all my projects. Pardon me for making the post long :P

Happy Crafting and enjoy all the Peek-a-Boo stamps!

Hugs

Bookmarks for a MOM who loves to Read!

Hey all,

This time I have done some bookmarks. My mom is an avid reader so I thought why not bookmarks!
Bookmarks are the closest thing to any bookmark(ask me) :P

I have used the MOM sentiment from the Peek-a-boo designs India, the best thing about these, they easily fit into anyone's budget as they are really cheap and of a very good quality.

For these, I have used mini stamps from Peek-a-Boo designs India viz. Messy lines and Dotty lines

I have stamped this images with various inks from Tim Holtz Distress inks on a softly blended background from the same range.

I have stamped the sentiment on a vellum and embossed it with Silver. Attached Lawn Fawn bakery twines and done!
 Look at the array of these :)

I hope you liked these :)
Thanks for stopping by :)

Mother's Day card 2

Hi again,

After completing the previous card, I thought of doing another one and thats too for Mother's day! :)

I hope all my crafty friends are also busy in making something for the day :)

This time I have selected Peek-a-boo Designs' Lotus delight stamp set and the mothers day sentiment.

I guess I am going too repetitive for the color yellow :D but I am helpless in this case as its my favourite bright color :P

Back to the process.

Again I have applied masking process. I have stamped the sentiment chopping the first line and stamped with Archival Blank ink.

I masked the sentiment with a circle cut out and stamped the Lotuses with  Ranger Archival Monarch orange, Distress inks: spiced marmalade and mustard seed.

Then I filled the flowers with transparent colors and its done!

Isnt it too easy and quick!

MOM - You are my sunshine :)

Hi all,

I am back with a new CAS card for the mother's day.

Directly to the making process...I have applied the masking process and cut a circle and used as a stencil. Colored it with Tim Holtz distress inks Mustard seed and Spiced Marmalade , blended it together and how I can stay away from the water effect!!!

It works like wonder. <3

I kept the 'Sun' simple and didnt want to ruin it with any other additions or embellishments. I cut out a bird with leaves and a twig to make a contrast.

For the sentiment, I have combined two stamps: for the "MOM", I have used Peek-a-Boo designs India, and "you are my sunshine" from Jane's Doodle Rain or shine stamp set.

Take a final look :)

I would like to share this card with:
