A Grid Card!

Hello All!!

I have made a Christmas card and this is really not my usual style of making a card but I somehow wanted to try something different. And here it is! :)

For the card, I started off by heat embossing STAMPlorations - Yuletide Cheer stamp on a watercolor paper base. Then, I watercolored them using distress ink - Mowed lawn and Salty ocean.

I made these grids and adhered them over a black card base. And added the heat embossed sentiment from the same stamp set.

Hope you liked this new style?

Doodling!

Hello Dear Friends! :)

I bought Kraft cardstock recently and I am loving it! This is my first of the many other that I am gonna make on Kraft. 

Here is my card

I used versamarker and doodled that design on the card base. I heat embossing using Ranger white embossing powder.

Later, I colored using watercolor from Mr.Huey's and stamped the sentiment from STAMPlorations Bloom sketches!

I am highly inspired by the doodling from this beautiful Pinterest Inspired Challenge pic! :)

Craic for the craic - GDT Post for November!

Helloooo Craftyyy Friendsss!! :)

It is November already! Where did 2015 go...? Time flies fast!!

 I am over at Craft for the craic November post! The theme this time is "Something glittery" - you can interpret it in your own way! Add glitter, sequins, glittery sheet, anything! Show off your work! ;)

My card this month is here:

I have added a lot of layering to this one! I love the combination of black and white and silver. I tried something different by using this month's Happy Little Stampers Sketch. I used ARTplorations -Shutters stencil. Added silver glitter over the black for the texture. Then stamped the sentiment over a purple colored card stock. I used doubled sided tape to add some dimension.  :)

Dreamy Background

Heyyaaaa Lovely Crafters!! :)

I am bringing before you the card I made yesterday..

That's the dreamy background I am talking about.. I sprinkled water on the stamp before stamping on the card base to make that colorful background.. I used distress ink wild honey, mowed lawn, salty ocean, seedless preserves and worn lipstick. For the vellum flower I have used Fiskars - Scratch from petals stamp set. Heat embossing with Ranger's white embossing powder and colored the back side using worn lipstick DI.

For the sentiment, I have used STAMPlorations - Hashtag Authentic stamp. And for the sparkle & shine, I used silver gel over the sentiment and also on the background. Here is a close-up with the shining captured successfully!(after several attempts..phew! ) Also, added a few sequins over the card.. I kept it simple as I didn't want my CAS card to be too shiny... :)

I am entering this card for TIME OUT Challenges - inspired by the beautiful card of TRACEY as shown below
