 Hi Friends,

Am here today with a floral card using Simon says stamp’s June 2018 Kit: Beautiful flowers. I just purchased this Kit for these beautiful floral spray and florals, along with pretty big fonts of lovely sentiments.

Over to my card,

  • Stamped the floral spray onto Strathmore Toned Tan Sketch paper using DI- Antique Linen as it is the lightest tone I use for Noline coloring.
  • I colored the florals with Copics Ciao – My ever first coloring using those markers!!! 
  • (DH bought Copics Ciao 75 markers set (Taiwan Only) during his visit to India this time.
  • Given shadows and highlights using Prisma colored pencils.
  • Die cut using MFT Stitched rectangle die.
  • Stamped sentiment from the same stamp set.
  • Mounted the focal panel onto a Olive green A2 sized card base using foam adhesives.
Hope you like this simple card. 
I appreciate you stopping by!

 Hi Friends,

It’s time for the floral card, a reminder for the ongoing challenge at The Flower Challenge blog.

Over to my card,


  • Stamped the Altenew Celebrate Us floral in Antique Linen DI onto Neenah classic crest cardstock.
  • Did Noline colouring using Altenew Artist markers.
  • Diecut the florals with co-ordinating dies.
  • Took a white focal panel, gave a warm glow using Scattered straw DI and splattered the areas with water for a mottled look and splashed with green watercolor paint.
  • Added the diecut floral using foam adhesives, which was splashed generously with white gouache and air dried.
  • Then added the diecut sentiment as well as the stamped sentiment from the same stamp set.
  • Notched the corners of focal panel to give a neat look.
  • Topped the panel over an A2 sized Olive green card base.
  • No embellishments were added so to keep the floral in focus.
