 Hiya Friends,

Am blogging from Kerala this time, enjoying being with my Sibling Fam and Parents. Great to meet them after a long time and spending time here from the mundane is such blissful.

Am thrilled to post here today as Design Ambassador of Trinity stamps. They were kind enough to send me few product lines to play. 

Over to my card,

  • Stamped Trinity Blooming Bunch stamp over Canson Montval Watercolor cardstock using DI Antique Linen to attempt Noline Watercoloring.
  • Colored using Gansai Tambi 36 pan Watercolor set with Silver black velvet brushes.
  • Die cut using the same co-ordinating die.
  • Took a watercolor cardstock, applied grey rough brush strokes using flat brushes as shown and then embossed using Trinity A2 Quilted cover plate.
  • Pasted the A2 cover plate focal panel over the A2 sized White cs and foam mounted the floral die cut.
  • Diecut was generously splashed with white acrylic paint and few white gel pen marks were added to finish off the card.
Hope you like it!
