A floral card for today using Itsybitsy’s Roses Stamp & Diecut set. Colored using Gansai Tambi on Canson Montval watercolor paper.

• Stamped the rose and leaves from Itsybitsy in Antique Linen DI and did some no line watercolor using Gansai Tambi watercolors.
• Added pencil shadings using Prisma color pencils for the shadows.
• Die cut the colored images.
• Scored the front panel using Scoreboard.
• Mounted the florals over it using Liquid adhesive and Foam adhesives for dimensions.
• Stamped the sentiment from Hero Arts over vellum and added that strip to the panel.
• Took a strip of watercolor paper and colored with the green watercolor to bring it all together.
• Added the panel to the A2 sized white card base.
• Finally added few dew droplets to finish off the card.

Am here today with a mixed media layout using one of my favorite selfie with my little one for the current MTW challenge themed Frame and Memories. I couldn’t resist and so added mine before the challenge ends.

• This Layout uses Itsy Bitsy’s in-house production brand, Little Birdie products.
• Took 2 12×12 designer paper form the pack, Cottage Lace, one for the base layer and another one for fussycutting all pretty roses.
• Centrally applied Prima white crackle paste and splashed series of sprays in pinks and browns.
• Layered the pic with a chipboard frame and made a floral spray around it using Little Birdie floral collection.
• The flourishes chippies are heat embossed in Zing -Green Ep and layered with the floral spray among the fussy cut roses.
• Some random stamping around the focal elements using Black archival ink and Momento rich cocoa ink.
• Added another 2 frame chippies (hidden under resin icon) and made a cluster with feather, and fussy cut elements, and added the prima resin icon : Memories
• Sentiment stickers were added near to focal elements.
• Art stones were added near the embellishments.
• Generous splashes of pink and browns with final splash of white gesso to balance all.
• Few enamel dots added as accents.

Mixedmedia place: May challenge I have been inspired by the pastel pink shades of the florals and the bicycle always makes me nostalgic of some good old memories of past.

• Took a 5″x7″ canvas and white gessoed it completely.
• I used light paste for a textural touch with Lime splash spray and applied using IB Chevron Stencil from my stash.
• Then added layering with gauze and corrugated packaging material over the stenciled area.
• Gessoed down whole area again to tone down the colors.
• Sponged the white frame with Metallic gold pigment ink and added over the layering.
• On that added the handmade flowers from various collections .
• Green heat embossed IB Flourish chipboard from my stash and added near the floral spray.
• Took Lime splash spray on a brush and brushed around the floral cluster and added few art stones for the interest.
• Stamped a few random print script over the entire canvas panel.
• Then gave a generous splash of white gesso over the floral cluster area.
• Then, die cut sentiment from IB backing sheet of chipboard, clear heat embossed and added over the chipboard.
• Sponged butterfly with baby pink pigment ink and added to the canvas.
