Together Forever : Chipboard CAS Card

Sathya — Sat, 27 Jun 2020 13:42:00 +0000

Hi Bloggy pals,

It’s CAS card again this time. Though I ardently love making textures and layers, CAS amazes me equally with all those white spaces, which speaks tons of emotions. I admire a lot of CAS crafters, who aesthetically work on focal elements and brings in Minimalistic versions.

Yes, It’s yet another card using Brusho, my most favorite watercolors. Love to create visual textures with it.

Took a watercolor panel and played with Brusho crystal – Orange for an abstract look at one corner of the card.
Then took MUDRA chipzeb and sponged with MUDRA Mai jet black ink.
Stamped an appealing sentiment from MUDRA together forever stamp set with 2 hearts on the lower portion of the card.
Added the chipboard using liquid adhesive.
Mounted this panel to A2 sized black cardbase to finish off this card.

Hope you like it!

Scatter Kindness : Floral Card

Hi Friends,

Amidst of the prevailing chaos, Dedicating my time to color and of course at my little balcony garden too. All the floral cards in my Blog screams Spring loudly and my garden florals inspire me a ton.

Used the print out of these digital florals from Graciellie designs.
Colored them using Prisma colored pencils.
The centre were made using Black micron pen, White gel pen and yellow colored pencils.
The floral panel is actually a backing sheet of a product which is die cut using stitched rectangle die.
Fussy cut florals are added using foam adhesive and liquid adhesive for dimensional effect.
Stamped sentiment from HeroArts on vellum and added the strip to the panel.
The focal panel then added to the A2 sized white card base.
Few enamel dots to make all coherent.

Over to my Balcony Garden pics…

I love Cooking, Crafting and Photography a lot. Macro photography are my recent addiction.

Hope you enjoy it!

Stay Home, Stay Safe!

Cheers,
Sathya

Hi Crafty friends!

Am guesting over at The Twisted Challenges Blog.

Theme for the current challenge is Rainbow colors+Grateful/Thankful

Its a no flower/ No coloring card!!! Just dies and 3D embossing folder!

Over to my take on the challenge.

Simple card ..to shift all focus on the rainbow colored gorgeous bg

Took a smooth white cardstock and blended Mudra MAI inks in the colors of rainbow fashion.
The colors blends so smoothly.
Splattered water on both sides but dint show up much of blotchy effects.
Dry embossed it using Sizzix – 3D embossing folder- Botanical (This way cs won’t tear and show cracks)
Gorgeous embossed and debossed sides obtained.
Trimmed the panel and matted to the black cs.
Took a vellum heart diecut, to it added a layered Thankyou diecut from SSS, which has 1 black layer and 2 white layers, and the upper layer is heat embossed with UTEE clear for added interest.
Used Nuvo glue pen for adhering the diecuts as well as to the vellum.
Then the card panel added to A2 sized white card base.
Few enamel dots are added as accents.

Hope you like it!

Hi Friends,

Random Act of Kindness Week and am happy to share this little life’s reminder with a Calligraphed quote.

“In a world where you can be anything, Be Kind.”

Used MUDRA stencil and newly launched Gorgeous ink pads for the beautiful blending of the bg here.

That stencil is such a perfect match with my hand lettered quote.

Hope you like it as much as I love it!!
