Thought to make an ombre in the sunset colors diagonally and hence started with wildhoney DI with very soft sponging and gradually increasing the intensity and ended with a darker tone of the shade with Rusty Hinge DI. Love the way the colors blended and flicked some water droplets straight from hand and left few seconds and wiped with tissue. This creates some interesting depth to the monochromatic background.

At one top corner, used stencil from TCW birds and feathers, sponged with momento tuxedo black and masked the area of the birds with a moon mask and again distressed the area with Rusty hinge to highlight the birds pair.

Then Kaisercraft Loire valley stamp set is used for the bushes, which is stamped again with Momento tuxedo black and the bird’s home is stamped with Archival ink sepia.

The sentiment arrangement is different, and so again i masked and stamped according to the sentiment space and just to highlight the word “You”. Then fussy cut the vellum sentiment label and bird’s home, popped up with foam adhesives.

A teeny tiny wood veneer heart from Freckled fawn is sponged with red colorbox pigment and embossed multiple times with UTEE clear EP. Red embossed mdf heart is placed on the bird’s home.

Used inks, stamps, stencils, paper pieced bird’s  home, vellum, woodveneer heart, embossing powders and this sums up my mixed media card.

Hope you like it!

Today’s card is also with Distress inks goodness 🙂 Oh yeah! Inky hands nowadays me 😀

I love to build scenes with silhouette stamps, mainly because DIs are so versatile in blending with colors and magically creates a beautiful scene and finishes half our work 🙂

Now onto my card 🙂

Took A2 card and masked an area centrally and started building scene. Made a cloud stencil using acrylic sheet and with tumbled glass DI sponged softly to built the sky.

The dark blue border is made by masking again and distressing with Salty ocean DI. Those cute little hot air balloon are from IBS and had been longing to use these for an year. Did you heard right, me…Yes am a big hoarder 😀  .

The balloon is stamped with picked raspberry DI and the basket with Black soot DI. Fussy cut and mounted using foam adhesives.

Soar High sentiment is Dymo label maker generated. Its a new addition to my stash and the little guy making wonders for my little one’s project mainly. (Yesss…My little one love that so much, and so now all his stationary items are labelled 😀 )

Added 2 handdrawn birds at a corner to finish off the card…Oh yeah…its a single layer card 🙂

Challenges entered:

IBS customer gallery (used hotair balloon stamp set)
IBS – used colors (blue, pink)

Now onto my card. Its a 5″x7″ card and am pretty much comfortable working with this card size only. A watercolor cs is taken and few distress inks were built in layers to get a galaxy kind. My choice of colors here are Tumbled glass, stormy sky, black soot, picked raspberry and shaded liliac.

Then the favorite part is splashing water on the card and enjoying the way the water reacts with DIs. And a generous tiny splash of white acrylic paint on the card. IBS Sentiment is stamped using versamark ink and heat embossed with Ranger super fine gold Ep. And few cute teeny tiny stars as accents to finish off the card.

Am not satisfied with the way sentiment being stamped…yet i liked the bg much and so given a space in my blog for it…Hope you like the amateur attempt of my humble galaxy background 🙂

Supplies:

DIs – Shaded liliac, Picked raspberry, Tumbled glass, stormy sky, black soot
Ep – Ranger superfine Gold Ep

Todays’ weather is so lovely and it calls for few butterflies in my card !!!

Made few marbled card with reinkers and sprays with Shave foam technique. As always, my heart went for pastel shades, because of that the beautiful patterns doesnt show up here properly. In real, it was lovely.

The base cs is one of those marbled papers using spun sugar, worn lipstick reinkers. IBS Butterflies are stamped using versamark and heat embossed with Ranger black EP. Those butterflies are fussy cut and added on cuttlebug provocraft square matting in black and white. Just the central portion of butterflies are glued to mimic its flight.

Then IBS sentiment is stamped on a marbled paper and its label diecut using Itsy bitsy scalloped oval. Sentiment label is matted on a black spellbinder banner diecut.

Few pink pearls as accents.
