Thank You Feathers Card For Time Out Challenge #92

There is a new ‘inspired by words’ challenge at the Time Out Challenges Blog and I was really inspired by guest designer Carol’s card for this challenge…I also wanted to try out the Embossed Impressions technique as shown by Jennifer McGuire in one of her tutorials recently…

I started by embossing two of the feather dies from Wplus9 Fanciful Feathers Die set using watermark ink onto a watercolour cardstock front panel and then quickly heat embossing those with gold embossing powder…I then used my Crayola Fine Line Markers and a waterbrush to colour them in…

Once dry,I masked these feathers and then splattered a bit of colour and some gold paint on the front panel…to use the same colours for the splatters,I simply scribbled the same crayola markers I coloured in the feathers with,on an acrylic block and mixed them with a  bit of water…

I then die cut a feather from gold foil cardstock and adhered it to the panel before adding this panel to a plain white card base…I die cut the word Thank you from some coloured glitter cardstock and layered it with a white die cut before adhering them onto the card front…

I also adhered a thin strip of the same glitter cardstock on one side of the front panel…

To embellish my card I have used a few Nuvo Jewel Drops…

So happy you stopped by my blog today…thank you…Hope you will have a happy and blessed day ahead…!!

Scrapbook Boutique June Challenge – Black & Gold

The card I’m sharing today is my entry for the Scrapbook Boutique June challenge…and the theme of this month’s moodboard is ‘Gold Is The New Black’…and as you can see my card is just gold and black….I think I spent more time trying to click a good enough picture of this card rather than creating it..!! 🙂

I started with a gold cardstock for the card base and a black top layer slightly smaller than the card front…I then splattered the top layer with gold paint and once dry embossed it with Heidi Swapp wanderlust embossing folder… this embossing folder has thick stripes on it which look great and also helped me place the alphabet die cuts on the card properly which was a bonus…

Using gold foil cardstock,I die cut three different sized Polaroid frames and chose a black cardstock for the center…I stamped a few different flowers on these using watermark ink and heat embossed the images using gold embossing powder…

For the sentiment I first stamped a stripy border on a piece of gold cardstock(same as card base) using watermark ink and then heat embossed it using gold embossing powder….I die cut the alphabets from this and layered them with craft foam before adhering them to the card as well as the Polaroid frames…

To embellish my card I have simply added a few black Nuvo drops on the Polaroid frames…Here is a close up shot of my card…hope you can see the gold heat embossing on the alphabet dies a bit better in this picture…

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today…do pop over to the Scrapbook Boutique blog and take a look at all the fabulous creation by the DT as well as all the entries for this challenge..

A Dragon Card & Prince Charming Tag

Today I am so happy to share a card and a tag that I have made using the MFT Magical Dragons stamp set….I had a rough idea about the design of this card but was so excited when it all came together…

The card base and top layer are both plain white….I masked the top layer at an angle using a scrap piece of paper and repeat stamped the sentiment to create an interesting background…

On a separate piece of cardstock,I stamped,coloured in and cut out the cute dinosaur image and  three candles…I placed them on the top layer in a way that it seems that the dinosaur is blowing the candles…

I have stamped the sentiment using watermark ink on a strip of black cardstock and then heat embossed it using gold embossing powder…

I kept the tag quite simple…the tag base has been die cut using the MFT tag builder 5 blueprints and I have used distress inks to create the background…I then die cut the tag border and adhered it to the base tag…

On a separate piese of cardstock I stamped,coloured in and cut out the little prince image and placed it on the tag…I heat embossed the sentiment on a piece of coloured cardstock using white embossing powder and placed it on the tag…

Finally I added a piece of blue ribbon and some tiny star sequins and my tag was ready…

Thank you so much for stopping by to take a look at my creations today…Happy crafting…!!

Celebrate & Enjoy Your Special Day – Two Cards

Today I’m sharing  two cards…and I think the only common thing with these two is that I have used coloured cardstock to create the card base for them…this year I really want to focus on getting my heat embossing a bit better(so I’m not scared of ruining my cards anymore)….and also want to practice using alphabet stamps to create my own messages on cards…

For my first card base I chose a bright red card base and a white top layer….on the top layer,I used a stencil and some distress inks to print the dotted background – making sure I leave enough blank space at the bottom for the sentiment…

I stamped the large ‘celebrate’ word using Versamark ink and Avery Elle Big Greetings stamp set and heat embossed that using gold embossing powder…I also stamped a lot of stars and heat embossed them too…

Finally I added a border at the base of the top layer using red ink and a few gold star sequins to finish the card..

For my second card I chose and aqua green coloured card base and a watercolour paper top layer…I first stamped the large flower from Altenew Beautiful Day stamp set all around the edges of the cardstock and coloured them all in using Peerless watercolors….

I covered the center area with a greenish colour and stamped the sentiment using Mama Elephant Calli Letters alphabet stamps…I do need a lot more practice with these stamps….but they are one of the best ones I’ve used yet…

I couldn’t decide how to embellish this card so I just used a metallic silver marker and added a few dots near the flowers..

                                 

I’m so glad you stopped by to take a look at my cards today….Hope you will have a beautiful day ahead…!!

Happy Birthday Flowers

I just looove the layering flower stamps by Altenew….they just need a bit of practice at the start but once you get a hang of things,the results are excellent….and if your colouring in skills are still a bit in the ‘not quite right‘ category like me,then these stamps will make you look like a pro…. 🙂

I started with a black cardstock card base and a white top layer….on the top layer I have stamped the stripes using Versamark ink and then heat embossed them with gold embossing powder..I stamped the sentiment just above the top stripe…

On a separate piece of cardstock,I stamped the Altenew Painted Flowers,cut them out and placed them on the card…I have used just three gold sequins to embellish the card…

Thank you for visiting my blog today…Have a happy and crafty day…!!

Thank You For Your Friendship Card

Today I’m sharing a simple card which seems like it was created in minutes…but actually took me a few days to finish…I was totally out of ideas once I got the background ready…

The card base in plain pink and the background layer is made by distress inks and simple paper masking….the top layer is made from vellum paper and is slightly smaller than the background layer….I have used a pink gel ink pen to draw the stitch lines on it…

Then I die cut a flourish embellishment from gold foil cardstock and placed it on the center of the card…and placed the gold embossed sentiment banner above it…

I have decorated the card with colourful rhinestones which also help hide the glue dots that help to adhere the vellum layer onto the card…

Thanks for stopping by to take a look…Happy crafting…

Post#187 – Bright Birthday Card

I love the versatility of distress inks….they blend so well and also react with water/liquids to create a great dimension to any design…

For today’s card, I started with a white plain cardstock base…The top layer is also white but has been coloured in with bright distress inks…once it was fully covered,I misted an embossing folder with a water filled spritzer and quickly stamped the top layer and dried it with a heat gun…then stamped the sentiment and used gold heat embossing powder for it…….I also added two thin strips of glitter cardstock at the base of the top layer before adhering it to the card base….

I stamped and coloured in the image of a little girl on a separate piece of cardstock and then cut it out….I have used adhesive sponge squares underneath the image to make it pop up on the card….and finally I have added quite a few sequins to decorate the card…

Hope you liked this one…
