Bleaching Ink : Card 1

 I  will try my best to describe the process step by step :

• Take a card stock, cut it into a shape as per your choice, I did with a slanting line.
• Blend distress inks. To create a depth, blend a darker color on the edges.
• Let the CS dry naturally in open air or heat it with your tool *I did on a gas stove* 
• Stamp an image with the darker distress ink that you use for creating depth, and emboss it with clear embossing powder. Here, I have used Lotus delight stamp.
• Take a pinch of bleaching powder in a bowl full of water and run the water with a brush on to the images only.
• Wait for sometime, the bleach will react and will fade the area. It can even make the image completely white.
• Finish it off with some glitter and sentiments. Here I have taken help of glitter cones and alpha banner stamp set.

      Tips:

1. Select darker colors for the cardstock so that the bleaching technique will give a contrasting image.
2. Select smaller images that has an outline only.
3. Be careful with the bleach.
4. Do not let the paper soak too much of bleach water as it will eventually make it super white that I guess you would not want to.

Challenge post for Peek-A-Boo Designs

Hello there,

Today I have come with a card that I have made for the challenge post of PABD.

I have used Bubble stencil to create the bokeh effect after sponging some distress inks on to the card stock. I have used Studio G white pigment ink to create the bokeh.

I have heat embossed silver on to the butterfly die cut.

The sentiment is a combination of the happy die cuts and the Alpha banner stamp set.

Here is a closer view!

Hope you like it!

Its time for Geometry!

Hello All,

After playing much with traditional cards and floral ones, I decided to go for Geometric patterns.Then I came across Milka's I Love Math challenge. Its Pretty much interesting to work within restrictions and too with maths! 

I have PABD's Solid Shapes stamp set in stash which has triangles of varying shapes. I chose one. 

I inked my card stock with Spun Sugar, the lightest shade of pink that i have with me. Then I stamped the triangle in a pattern and embossed it with clear embossing powder. 

Then I added Festive berries and Picked Raspberry to it for the shade.

I cut the triangle-frame manually for the shaker card and the sentiment die cuts are from Sizzix thinlits.

So, I have used triangle which has three sides, three colors or shades of pink, a Birthday card and CAS as much as possible I could!

Diwali Card 3

Hello everyone,

Today I have come up with the third card that I have made for Diwali this year. I am finding to make the diwali cards to be more fun than any other occasion!

I have used a stencil from The craftersworkshop and applied texture paste (homemade) , a normal white one. Then i ran over my versamark ink pad over the raised surface lightly and sprinkled gold embossing powders on it. After taking this through Heat embossing, this came out with a gold embossed raised surface but more shimmery than a gold texture paste!

I added some water color to cut down the monotonous look, as its Diwali! Blended some inks through the stencils. I cut down a diya and colored it. The sentiment is from Peek-A Boo diwali stamp set! The stamp set has loads of diwali greetings both in English and Hindi. Indian friends can look over to it for the Hindi Greetings. 

I am sharing this project with:

Diwali Card 2

Hello all,

Here I come up with my second card for diwali.

I tired to create a simple card for this diwali with lots of embossing. 

I had stamped flowers from Timbers Clair's Clear stamps  with gold, silver and yes black to bring the contrast.

I blended some red and orange colors from distress ink shades and again sprinkled some gold, silver and black embossing powders randomly and heat embossed all together.

I hope you can see the shine! Meanwhile I stamped Indian Motifs from PABD stamp set and blended blue and olive green inks and cut out diyas . I made the flames by cutting and coloring manually.

For the panel at the right side I first stamped Fancy flourish from Mudra stamps and then embossed it with an embossing folder.

I hope this card pleases everyone :)

I would like to share this card with:

Diwali Card 1

Hellooo all,

Its been a long time I have crafted anything, I was stuck in my designs for companies and hectic schedules! *sigh*

The festive season is on with the Navratri and Durga Puja now and upcoming diwali.

So, for diwali I have made few cards, out of them I am showing only one as of now.

This is the first card I am sharing with you for diwali. I have used PABD stamps for this card : Its Plaid time, Lotus Delight, Flower motifs.

I have sponged the different sections with water color. I have embossed it with gold and white. The color combination is well suited for festive season. Indian festives have bright colors all around; so, the more bright it is the more merrier!
