You are Amazing | Peony Floral | Uniko

~ Sathya ~ 5 Comments

 Hi Friends,

Am here today with a floral card again. This time tried to use some muted tones and kept me away from darker tones a lot.

Am a Mixedmedia artist at heart who loves loads of textures and layering. But here I have kept a clean and simple design using a watercolored floral as a focal point. Noline coloring technique is my only way to color as stamped lines makes me blank always. 

Uniko’s Peony florals stampset is my most favorite stampset and I have played several times earlier. Check here, here, here, here.

Over to my card,

  • Stamped Uniko Peony florals onto Arches CP Watercolor paper using Antique Linen DI for Noline watercoloring.
  • Used Prima The classics watercolor pan set for this card.
  • The floral is then fussy cut and kept aside to prepare the loose watercolored bg onto Arches HP using the left over paints.
  • Diecut using MFT stitched Rec Stax die.
  • Stamped the sentiment form Uniko Just because stamp set using Mudra Mai jet black ink pad. 
  • Liberally splashed white acrylic paint splatters over the fussy cut floral and foam mounted onto the watercolored focal panel.
  • Then its foam mounted onto Cairo cream A2 sized top fold cardbase.
  • Finally few dew droplets are added for interest.
Hope you like it!

Background Bonanza | Camp Create | MFT

~ Sathya ~ 1 Comment

 Hiya All,

Participating in MFT Camp Create : Background Bonanza.

As my MFT supplies are so very limited, I got to put on my thinking cap to bring about a background using my single die set apart I own from my A2 stitched Rec frame die set.

Over to my card,

I made this MFT leaf greenery die set as hero of this card. I die cut 2 variety of sprigs few times from white cs and pasted over the entire white focal panel and die cut it using MFT A2 stitched Rec Stax largest diecut. Love this faux embossed look of the focal panel.

Then diecut few more different sprigs from ink blended panel using various Distress ink greens. 

Made a cluster onto the panel as shown and topped the sentiment strip with foam adhesive.

Matted over a white A2 sized top fold cardbase and then added few enamel dots in different sizes and green shades to finish off the card.

Hope you like it! 

There is still time to play along the ongoing challenge. Check MFT blog for more details. 

Happy Crafting!!
