Pink Posies card – CLD DT call !

~ Sathya ~ 19 Comments
Today ‘s card is especially for Cheerylynn Design Team call. Its one of the finest dies, which cuts paper like butter. I love to work with those dies very often and this DT call, urges me to attempt my luck to work among the wonderful designers’ team.

Always love to find ways to use my flower dies and this time too attempted to make different flowers. Used only Cheerylynn dies to make this card 🙂

Diecut the CLD Mexcian tile die from white CS and matted this against a pink CS and layered this panel on a White CS.

The large bloom is made from CLD sunflower die and distressed with Tattered rose and Wornlipstick DIs. The roses are made from CLD Gardenia strip die and this time tried to attempt peony kind flower than usual roses.These are distressed with worn lipstick DI on edged, misted and shaped. Small roses are made from CLD medium rose die and the single petal pollen centered too are from same die. Those are distressed using the Worn lipstick DI.

These flroal cluster are arranged on the CLD tropical florish die with CLD rose leaves and CLD olive branches.

The Sentiment banner is diecut from Itsy bitsy venetian label,and IBS sentiment is stamped using Black Archival ink and mounted using adhesive foam.

Hope you like this!!

Patterned paper is matted on to the base CS and distressed the edges. Wanted to go for muted tones and so this attempt of creating a flower cluster which is much similar to the pp tone.

Yet another post and of course a last one before my India trip on 24th June 🙂

In my last India trip, carried few craft supplies and it was lying almost 1 month unused. Atlast now find some time to use those.

Stenciling is done with TH honeycomb stencil using Texture paste and by masking a central portion of the card using a scallopped oval diecut, misted the card with Heidi Swapp Georgia peach shimmer mist.

MFT fluorishes are added and Flowers are made from CLD Gardenia strips by misting, distressing with various distress inks – Tumbled glass, Fired brick, Dusty concord and those CLD ivy fluorish leaves are distressed at edges by Crushed olive distress ink.

And a butterfly is stamped on White CS, colored using distress inks – Mustard seed and Wild honey and fussy cut and added near floral spray.

Used Gauze on adhesive side of masking tape and  sponged it with Distress ink Victorian velvet. A sentiment is stamped, then diecut it using Spellbinder Ribbon Banner die and added to the card. Misted stenciled cs are used as banners at right top of cards and few pearls are added as final touch.

Hope you like the card!!

Inks – Dusty concord, Tumbled glass, Fired Brick, Wild honey, Mustard seed, crushed olive, victorian velvet, Rangers Archival Black

Altered Frame :)

~ Sathya ~ 18 Comments
Hey Hi Friends!

Today’s post is about an altered frame. This frame was lying with me for more than 1.5 yrs now and current challenges demand it to alter it and so this sweet trial 🙂 
This frame fits 4″x6″ pic and it was gifted by a friend when we left Taiwan. So wanted to place a pic which we took in Taiwan in an outdoor shoot, before our relocation to UAE.
This pic was taken during onset of Spring season and so wanted to give more cheery and colorful blooms which is signature of Spring 🙂
Gessoed down the frame and added these lacey distressed Tiffany border by modpodging it. Border is distressed with Walnut stain – Distress stain. Then blooms are made from Cheerylynn Designs (CLD) Gardenia strip and the floral leaves are made from CLD Olive branches and MFT florish dies which is again sponged with peeled paint Distress stain. 
Closeup views of Blooms 🙂
Flowers are misted with Distress stains (Milled lavender, Mustard seed, Dried marigold, Dusty concord) and embossed to give shapes. (Love making these as i never used these colors for flowers earlier). Centre is made using styrofoam balls which is filled with Pop microbeads. (Oh ya…its my new add to my stash..Just loving it) Fillers flowers are added to clusters.
Love Heart woodchip is gesso-ed first and then misted with Heidi Swapp Georgia peach shimmer and lastly added glossy accents for that glossiness. Lastly added pearl strips and FAMILY glittered alphas as final touch.

 After
I totally loved altering this frame and planned to gift it to Mom as Mothers Day gift 🙂
