Oh yeah, Watercolor bug bitten me and i just cant stop creating a card today. This time its a galaxy scene. Been dying to try this technique and today managed to get a decent mimic of the galaxy. Hope you like it!

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
Watercolor Cs, Black CS
Ranger Heat tool, tiny stars, white acrylic paint, versamark inkpad

Hiya Crafters,

Hope you had a wonderful Diwali 🙂

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.

After a long gap, made a Quilling frame with sheer love for spring colors and the freshness it brings to one’s mind 🙂

Its a 12″ frame and the one i submitted for UK Quilling Guild Annual Meet at Sherborne 2015 in September 19-20.

I have tried few color combinations and flower patterns, which i havent done earlier and my main idea is to have a collection of various flowers of different patterns.

As always, after my son’s birthday, saved the cake baseboard like last year and cut a 8 ” heart from it. Check here for last year cake base board. Wound the pollen sticks around it and pasted a heart diecut inside it to give a trellis look.

My all time favorite technique is fringed flowers which i made out of different sizes paper strips and few used as centres and few used as individual flowers even. The fact i love the most is its hand fringed 🙂

And all the flowers are made using sewing needle and this makes the central hole less prominent. Its my second big floral frame using needle as quilling tool. 3mm strips were used for the whole project, which includes graduated strips, solid colors, two tone color strips etc., And almost all techniques are included here such as Alternate side looping, Marquise, Tear drop shape, Triangle shape, Heart shape, Open loop coils, Closed loop coils, Tight coils, multistrips scrolls, fringing etc.,

Flowers are stuck on the heart chipboard base using hotglue gun and found it so very convenient to give shaping as i wished for.

Made a Monarch butterfly for second time and its one of my fave color combination to work with for the butterfly. Check here for my earlier version of monarch butterfly.

Hope you like it. As always, i just love all your comments, its a real boost for any artist to pursue their passion 🙂
