Hi Craftypeeps,

Am here today with a watercolor floral card. This particular piece I managed to color in bits and pieces over 4 days and today made it into a card. I wish to re-do this piece in a much larger size and wanna put as Wall art. Fabulous illustration by PowerPoppy Marcella.

Printed the digi : Hummingbird Paradise Digital stamp from Powerpoppy in a grey scale onto a watercolor paper.
Then watercolored using Karin Brushmarkers Pro.
Diecut using MFT A2 Rec die.
Liberally splashed white acrylic paint.
Mounted onto a black A2 sized card base to finish off the card.

Hope you like it!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Enjoy Little Things : Power Poppy

February 1, 2021 ~ Sathya ~ 3 Comments

Hi Friends!

Made a card today using a digital stamp , Trumpet Vine Visitor from Power Poppy.

This Trumpet vine digital took me back to my cherished childhood memories. We have a huge Honeysuckle Vine trellis in my garden. It’s bright inflorescence is such a sight to watch in our Indian Summer for its beauty of vivid reddish orange flowers filled with Bees and butterflies.

I framed the beautiful sentiment with florals in a delightful way. It’s one of my favorite quote from the Wildflower Mini digital stampset .

Over to my card,

Printed the vine onto a watercolor cardstock with grayscale to attempt No line watercoloring using Karin Brushmarkers Pro.
Topped the watercoloring with Prisma colored pencils for the shadows.
Matted the panel onto a black cardstock and topped over a card, bit larger than A2 sized cardbase.
Few clear dew droplets are added as accents.

Hope you like it!

Happy Crafting!

Kindness : Floral card

January 22, 2021 ~ Sathya ~ 7 Comments

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!
