Bouquet of Wishes | Inspired by Stamping

May 27, 2023May 27, 2023 ~ 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!

Thanks for stopping by!

Monochromatic Floral card | Altenew

May 25, 2023May 25, 2023 ~ 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!

Hugs & Kisses : Uniko Floral card

February 11, 2021 ~ Sathya ~ 6 Comments

Hiya Friends!

Am loaded with Guest Designing projects for next month and so squeezed in a bit of time for my personal project to play along few challenges in Blogland.

Over to my project,

Absolutely love pencil coloring as much as I love watercoloring. I love to experiment with different mediums and this peony bud was one of my favorite from Uniko stamps. I was using the large peony floral many a times and neglecting this small peony and today was the perfect time to do Pencil coloring with Prisma colored pencils.

Stamped on a fine grain watercolor cardstock using Antique Linen to do a online coloring using prisma colored pencils.
Colored using various shades of pinks and greens of Prisma colored pencils.
Splattered white acrylics over the floral liberally.
Stamped the sentiment from same stampset using Mudra Mai Jet black ink pad.
Matted over a black cardstock and then to a kraft A2 cardbase.
Few clear dew droplets and paper pieced butterflies to finish off the card.

Hope you like it!

Happy Crafting!

Happy Hello: Powerpoppy Blossoming Cherry

May 1, 2019 ~ Sathya ~ 20 Comments

Hi Crafty peeps!!

Happy May!

Powerpoppy’s Blossoming cherry digital stamps reminded me of my most wonderful years at Taiwan. This digi is my recent purchase during a slash sale.

I went in for those misty mornings and foggy days of Spring where every square is loaded with Cherry blossoms and Apple blossoms!! The fine fragrance of the scent surely to elate anyone’s day.

Bit of experiment mode I was. So took a watercolor cs and misted with water liberally and dropped in colors of blue and pink (Gansai Tambi watercolors) at adequate intervals to create a hazy bg. Then dried the cs well and ironed it neatly so that it can be fed easily into the printer.

Yay!! Printed the floral sprig with the sentiment in 1 easy go!

Painted the florals using same watercolors and highlighted with Prisma colored pencils.
Then the watercolor cs trimmed and matted to the black cs. Added generous white paint splatters to create a foggy mood to the card. Then mounted on to a white card base.

Few clear dew droplets as accents to finish off the card.

Hope you like it!!

Happy Crafting!
