Happy Birthday Card: Pencil colored Dahlia

October 23, 2018 ~ Sathya ~ 9 Comments

Hi Friends!

Wishing a very Happiest Birthday to the ones, who share this date with me 🙂

A special birthday wishes to Jasnoor Kaur, my dear crafty friend Jasleen’s little princess and also to my sub-junior friend! Am so lucky to know these souls and its always absolute joy in wishing them “Happy Birthday” on my birthday 🙂 I especially make cards to fill my blog space with birthday note!

And for today,

Made a card using PowerPoppy Dahlia digital stamp. As always, am one big fan of Marcella’s artistic illustrations. Her digis + pencil coloring is my fave go to!

Pencil colored this power poppy digi by printing it onto a white cs.
After coloring, fussy cut and colored its white edges using Black soot distress marker.
The bg is made using Yupo translucent sheet + 3 shades of Alcohol inks – Mermaid, Citrus, Lemonade.
The sentiment is directly printed onto vellum and diecut using stitched rectangle dies.
Yupo paper is also diecut using same stitched rectangle dies.
Its then matted onto white A2 top fold card.
The vellum focal panel is topped over the yupo paper in such a way that the organic design of alcohol inks were showing up around the focal image.
Few clear dew droplets added as finishing touches.

Hope you like it!

Happy Crafting!

Hi Friends!

Happy WCMD!

Colored this image 2 days before and squeezed some time today to make a base for this florals.

Beautiful camellias are Digital images from Powerpoppy and the sentiment is from their clear stamp Rosie’s your way.
Colored the images using prisma colored pencils. Fussy cut and kept aside. Then the focal panel is distressed using Broken china and Fossilized amber Distress oxides and water splashed onto surface for those molting effects.
Sentiment is then stamped using Black archival ink.
Colored image then mounted onto focal panel using foam adhesives, matted with a black cs and then to a white A2 card base.
Few clear droplets used as accents to add interests to the background.
