Life’s Little things : Kaisercraft

Hi Friends,

As an Introvert my daily routine hasn’t changed much! Working in isolation and maintaining a social distance has been a Lifestyle. It can be overwhelming for some to stay home during this Covid-19 Pandemic. Go back to what you love to do. Rearrange your interiors. Spend time with your Family and learn new art.

Idea of this CAS card born when am shifting my Pothos plants from balcony today, as our part of India is experiencing peak summer.

My Mom is a Plant Nerd and she maintained a huge garden in our Home. I grew up seeing her do rose stem grafting, collecting and sowing seeds, preparing soil beds for our Rose plants. My deep interest on Gardening is what my Momma sow in me and it continues to grow well here.

Over to my card for Today,

  • Took watercolor cardstock and sponged Antique Linen DI around leaving a central portion.
  • Then stamped a text stamp from HNDMD Old Newspaper stamp on the background on the edges randomly to give a subtle texture using Antique linen DI.
  • Stamped the sentiment from Kaisercraft Blue Bay (new in my stashusing Memento Tuxedo black ink.
  • Started to stamp the leaf twig from Uniko Just because stampset (new in my stash) using Peeled Paint DO on the lower half of the panel around the sentiment.
  • Liberally splashed same waterdowned DO splatters on the card over the leaves.
  • Added three clear dew droplets for the visual interest.
  • Trimmed a bit and added this to A2 sized top fold black card base.
Hope you like this card!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Friends!

Have been playing along 30day coloring challenge of Kathyrac at IG. Recently colored this little fella, Forest woodpecker of IBS stamp using Zig brush pens and Polychromos. Made a focal panel for it today.
For the first time, tried coloring other than flowers and butterflies!!
  • Took a watercolor paper, heavily distressed at the edges and slightly sponged at cnetre using Hickory smoke distress ink.
  • Then stamped the IBS sentiment leaving a central area.
  • The birdie is added using foam adhesives.
  • The leaves are from Mudra stamps, are colored using zig pens and fussy cut and added to the branch.
  • Few enamel dots as accents and mounted on a white base card.
