 Hiya Friends!

Made a card with simple ink blending and stamping.

Over to the card,

  • Took a white cardstock and inkblended with DI : Shaded lilac, Tumbled glass, Cracked Pistachio.
  • Die cut using MFT A2 Rec Stax die set.
  • Stamped the roses bunch and sentiment from PowerPoppy Everything Even Rosier stamp set in Mudra Mai Jet black ink.
  • Uncolored it as such this time and love the blend of pretty English colors here.
  • Foam mounted this ink blended panel onto the A2 sized top fold Off white Card base.

Hey Hi All,

Am still sticking and challenging myself onto making of some non-floral cards…Yay bit away from my pencil coloring, watercoloring of florals.

And for today, it’s a Butterfly card.

To me, Butterfly symbolises a “Free spirit”. And it goes wherever it pleases and pleases wherever it goes.

  • Took a watercolor paper and trimmed a bit to fit a 4×6″ Top fold cardbase.
  • Mixed HNDMD paper texture paste and Brusho -Limegreen to get a beautiful shade of green.
  • Applied this prepared paste over the panel using TCW ‘Art is’ stencil diagonally and applied plain paper paste to rest of the areas.
  • Love this texture paste as it just mimics a handmade paper texture.
  • Centrally splashed Smooch-Spritz golden yellow for a warm glow.
  • Stamplorations -Trendy butterflies2 large butterfly is gold heat embossed, fussy-cut and topped over die-cut leaves to create a focal element.
  • Sentiment from same stamp set is stamped using Memento black ink on to a strip of paper and added to the focal panel.
  • Matted this over cardbase and added few green enamel dots to finish off the card.
Hope you like it!

The focal cluster is mounted on a resin frame with few diecut flourishes, diecut leaves and pretty mix of florals. 
Big bold red resin floral heart added as a pretty addition.
Crocheted lace with a floral cabochon and a white embossed vellum butterfly  are added with a word embellies.

Quilled Sunflowers card :)

~ Sathya ~ 16 Comments
Oh Yeah…Its been a loooong time since i quilled. After my Quilled Dedication frame for my granny, this is the card in recent times i made.

These quilled elements were made some 10 days before and just assembled today to form sunflowers, leaves, tendrils and twines. Happy to share since its completely made using Quilling Needle only and the flowers are made with 1.5mm width strips and distressed on tips with rich cocoa momento ink. Fringed flowers are distressed with wildhoney DI on edges. For an added interest, made some multistrips scrolls.

The background is made by scoring a Kraft CS on scoreboard randomly and distressing again with rich cocoa momento ink to give a wood bg and matted on sandcolor CS. And the this mounted on a black CS whose surface is vertically scored to create little texture to the card.

Wrapped Raffia around card, added a wooden button and a sentiment banner to finish the card. Hope you like it!
