~ Sathya ~ 13 Comments

Hi Friends,

Wish to try some coloring with distress inks and this time, its with Poppies stamp. I heart this stamp and it was there in my wishlist for a long time. At last tried now.

Will be coming up with card variations using this lovely stamp soon.

Stamped with Black archival ink and colored using Festive berries DI. Layered Timeless rectangle diecuts on a base CS and distressed its edges too with the Festive berries DI.

Though am not satisfied with my outcome of coloring, dint feel like throwing in trash…so to pacify me, added IBS Sentiment, which i feel apt to my mood. Few pearls are added as accents.

Hope to improve in my future trials.

The Sketch #111 reveal for today is

And my take on the Sketch is

Its a 6×6 card floral card with a digital image sponsored by the Pickled Potpourri Designs.

A kraft CS is matted on a IBS Vintage floral PP. Colored the digi using Faber Castell watercolor pencils and used a dry technique. Hope it needs a lot of improvement.

Colored digi placed centrally on a doily and the floral arrangement are on a side with CLD rose leaves die and CLD ivy flourishes die which are again sponged with Peeled paint and Crushed olive DIs.

Few DI inks splatters and pearl centres to finish off the card with a IBS sentiment on Spellbinders banner using Rangers Archival black ink.

Floral Love Card!

~ Sathya ~ 13 Comments

This time a simple card with just diecuts.

This Memory box Sonora Rose die is a win from DCAM challenge and, took it from India home and was waiting to give a shot.

Its just a single rose die with 2 leaves of various sizes and with buds. I Diecut, embossed and colored the roses using Worn Lipstick, Tattered rose and Mustard seed DIs. And for leaves and buds, used Peeled paint  and at edges Gathered twigs DIs.

Just popped these on a doily using foam dots to give 3 D effects to roses. To make the small rose, i just cut the outer whorls of the rose and distressed with Mustard Seed DI

Sentiment is stamped, edges were rounded and few pink pearls as accents to finish off the card.

Hope you like this.

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!!

Supplies:
White CS 
Inks – Dusty concord, Tumbled glass, Fired Brick, Wild honey, Mustard seed, crushed olive, victorian velvet, Rangers Archival Black
Dies – Spellbinder ribbon banner die, MFT florish die, CLD gardenia strip, CLD ivy florish die
