 Hi Friends,

Made a card today in my non-floral card series. Yup, just an ink blending and die cutting taking centre stage with an awesome quote.

Over to my card,

  • Took a watercolored cardstock, ink blended using Distress oxides : Bundle Sage and Worn lipstick as shown.
  • Diecut the ink blended panel and White cardstock with Spellbinders Elegant Twist Oval Die.
  • Die cut hearts from the ink blended panel with Hero Arts Love & Heart die.
  • Then hand cut small fish tail banners from the ink blended panel.
  • Matted all as shown using adhesive on the ink blended panel.
  • Then the oval panel is matted onto Rosewood colored A2 top fold cardbase using foam adhesive.
  • Few pearls added as final touch.
Hope you like this simple card.
Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Crafting!

Kindness : Floral card

 Hiya Crafty peeps,

Back here again with a floral card. Current challenges in blogland inspired me to do today’s card.

Made use of a new Sizzix Embossing folder : Botanicals, a birthday gift from my dearest crafty pal, Jasleen.

Tried watercoloring over it, as I absolutely love the way the colors bleed and blend on Watercolor cardstocks. 

Karin markers are my birthday gift from my DH and this card demanded using it. It’s so magical to see the way it works beautifully on Canson Montval watercolor paper. 

It’s my first time watercoloring over Embossing folder. 

Over to my card,

  • Dry embossed the watercolor cardstock using Sizzix Botanicals Embossing Folder.
  • Watercolored it using my new crafty stash addition : Karin markers. Love using it!!
  • Added white paint splatters over the panel.
  • Trimmed to fit A2 sized top fold cardbase.
  • Added the Hero Arts Kindness sentiment vellum strip over the embossed panel.
  • Mounted onto black A2 sized cardbase.
  • Few clear dew droplets added as accents.
Hope you like it!
Linking these to following challenge:
