Bouquet of Wishes | Inspired by Stamping

~ Sathya ~ Leave a comment

Hi all,

Am back here again with a floral card for the ongoing Craft-a Palooza Giveaway at Kanan’s Ifeelglee.com. Yes they have extended their giveaway till 2nd June 2023. So do play along to show your support 🙂

I already made 2 cards for 2 other categories and this time its for CAS category.

Am a sucker for flowers. And this one company in past 2013-2014 was the whole sole reason for making me love the floral stamps. I used to participate and won many of their monthly challenges and by that way, my craft stash of floral stamps started to build. It’s none other than Joanna’s Inspired By Stamping and sadly it was closed many years back, yet I still own their wonderful stamps.

Today’s card is from that brand IBS, Tulip Bouquet. I also love the sentiment font of all their stamps.

Over to the card,

  • Took a Strathmore Toned Tan sketch paper and diecut it using Gina Marie Scalloped Frame large die set.
  • Then stamped Inspired by Stamping Tulip Bouquet using Distress Ink – Antique Linen.
  • Coloured the stamped image using Copics and Colored pencils.
  • After colouring stamped a lovely sentiment from same stamp set.
  • Then foam mounted this die cut panel over a top fold A2 sized Olive green cardbase.

Hope you like this simple sweet greeting card!

Monochromatic Floral card | Altenew

~ Sathya ~ 1 Comment

Hiya Friends,

Am here today to showcase a card in monochromatic goodness. Yeah, I love colouring and playing with different colouring medium on my favourite subject, flower is my most favourite thing in Card making. I usually play with White /Black charcoal pencils, graphite pencils with paper stumps to play with but this time, I challenged myself to use Copics. I borrowed from my little one and he shared his Ohuhu marker pad to use too for this card.

And over to my card,

  • On Ohuhu marker sheet, I stamped Altenew Be Kind Bellflowers using Limestone Crisp dye ink.
  • Coloured the image using Copic markers.
  • Then trimmed and added with a strip of matching patterned paper to a Slate grey A2 sized top fold cardbase using foam adhesive.
  • Then sentiment from Altenew Belladonna lily stamp is stamped over a ohuhu marker sheet strip and added as shown in the picture using foam adhesives.
  • Two grey enamel dots are added as embellishments to finish off the card.

Hope you like it!

Hi ya Friends,

Summer is at its peak here at Chennai, India and all finding reasons to do vacation. We too travelled to our God’s own country – Kerala for our family meet up and Naming Ceremony of my cute little niece. And I just found time to craft just after a week long time, as I caught up with my other priorities.

Over to my card,

Colors are inspired from Atenew’s current challenge.

  • Onto Starthmore Toned Tan sketch paper, Stamped Altenew Dainty Bouquet using Hero arts Unicorn white inkpad.
  • Being a layered stamp, the second stamps are stamped using Altenew Deep Iris cube ink and followed bt Midnight violet cube ink for the 3rd layer.
  • For leaves, used Altenew Forest Glades cube ink.
  • Altenew Artist markers are used at few places to bring out the beauty over white stamped image.
  • The focal panel is diecut using MFT stitched die set.
  • Seniment is stamped from Altenew Sentiment strip 2
  • Then the whole panel is masked carefully at few places and liberally splashed with white gouache.
  • Let it air dry and then its mounted onto an A2 sized Off white cardbase.
