Hello Floral card | Altenew

~ Sathya ~ 1 Comment

 Hi Craftypeeps,

Made a floral card today using Altenew’s Sweet Cluster Stamp & Die set along with the beautiful Diamond Stars 3D Altenew Embossing Folder. These stuffs are new in my stash and was there for more than a month now. Just got time to ink it away today for the current Turquoise challenge over at The Flower Challenge.

Over to my card,

  • Stamped Altenew’s Sweet Cluster mini stamp over a watercolor cardstock using Antique Linen DI to do No line watercoloring.
  • Karin brushmakers are used for Watercoloring.
  • Then diecut using co-ordinating die and foam mounted onto a white focal card which is dry embossed using Altenew Diamond stars 3D embossing folder.
  • Sentiment from same stampset is white heat embossed over a black cardstock and cut and foam mounted on dry embossed panel.
  • Then the panel is mounted over a Teal A2 cardbase.
Hope you like it!

Art Happiness | Mudra

 Hi Friends,

Am here to share a quick clean and simple card for today.

Over to my card,

I have been into Coloring mostly particularly flowers for a long time now. 

So planned to dig my stash to do a non-floral series of cards and without much Prisma coloring or Watercoloring.

Today’s card colouring focuses on ink smooshing by Watercolor markers. Love this loose style of coloring rather than doing elaborate No line coloring, which I usually opt for.

  • Took a piece of Canson watercolor cardstock and did a wet on wet coloring using Karin Brush markers.
  • After drying, stamped Mudra : Art Happiness stampset using Mudra Jet black ink pad.
  • Took a piece of white panel and diecut it using MFT Rec stax dies and dry embossed it using WRMK 3D embossing folder.
  • The colored panel too is diecut using smaller die from MFT Rec Stax dies.
  • The embossed focal panel is mounted over A2 sized black top fold cardbase and on it foam mounted the smaller diecut as focal panel.
Hope you like this super simple card!
Happy Crafting!
Thanks for stopping by!

To create this card, first I stamped the image using second generation stamping with the Altenew Limestone Crisp Dye ink. 

Colored the images using Graphite Lead pencils and smudged it with paper stump for the shadows. Used Yellow Colored pencil to color the floral centre. Main sentiment is stamped over the floral panel and White heat embossed sentiment strip is mounted onto the panel. This floral panel is then trimmed and foam mounted onto a black A2 sized cardbase and finished off with few clear dew droplets.

For my second card, stamped the floral outline using antique linen Distress ink and attempted the No line coloring technique over the image using Watercolor markers.

The colored panel is then fussy cut. The sentiment is stamped over a white A2 sized cardbase using Altenew Jet black crisp dye ink in such a way leaving space for the focal element.


Fussy cut floral spray then foam mounted and few clear dew droplets are added as accents. 

Hope you like my two colored version cards.

Altenew Build-A-Flower: Semi-Double Chrysanthemum Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

~ Sathya ~ 69 Comments

Am SO excited and happy to be part of Altenew’s Build-A-Flower: Semi- Double Chrysanthemum Release Bloghop! 

Am a sucker for flowers and Absolutely love Altenew’s varied range of products right from their brand launch. I feel so honoured and humbled by this Awesome opportunity.

You should have arrived from talented, Rachael Shedeed’s blog. Else if you are starting from here, I have a full blog hop list at the end of my post.

I have created a card today using Altenew Semi Double Chrysanthemum set.


Build-A-Flower: Semi-Double Chrysanthemum Product Description: 


Love and flowers don’t need to be perfect, but these gorgeous florals come very close to perfection!


This layering stamp set features a beautiful 4-layer chrysanthemum and three 3-layer leaves to add to your handmade cards, scrapbook layouts, bullet journal pages, and other DIY paper crafting projects. 


The Build-A-Flower: Semi-Double Chrysanthemum special edition stamp and die set is only sold as a bundle. It includes one 6″ x 8″ clear photopolymer stamp set (16 individual stamp images) and one coordinating die set (4 dies).

To create my card, I first stamped solid image of flowers followed by using second and third images, which are detailed layers. I used the Summer Afternoon mini ink cube set for the flowers. And then they were die cut using co-ordinating dies.


I did two such flowers and diecut using their co-ordinating dies and kept aside.

The green leaves are also from Semi-Double Chrysanthemum set, which were stamped onto white cardstock using Green Fields mini dye ink cube collections. They were also die cut using  co-ordinating dies.

The sentiment ‘Love’ is gold heat embossed on black cardstock and fussy cut it to give a defined look. The second part of sentiment is gold heat embossed onto a black cardstock strip. 

Finally for the background, took Altenew Classy strips stencil and embossing paste and created a partial stencilling to give a subtle texture to the card.

Then added Brusho – Lime green color pigment onto a watercolor cardstock, to create the organic styled background on the stenciled areas. Left to air dry and trimmed the focal panel.

Matted this focal panel onto A2 sized black Top fold cardbase using foam adhesives.. Then arranged the flowers and leaves to get a desired look. Popped the fussy cut sentiment and sentiment strip as shown above using foam adhesives.

Finally added some black enamel dots to finish off the card.

And now for the most exciting part : Giveaway!

You are a Treasure : SSS

~ Sathya ~ 14 Comments

Hiya Friends,

Been coloring this Beautiful flower stamps from SSS for the past 4 days for Kathyrac’s Daily marker coloring challenge. Check my insta handle @sathyakala.23 for the WIP pics.
Made a card with loads of white paint splattered background.
Over to my card,

  • Stamped SSS Beautiful flowers stamp over a watercolor paper using Antique Linen DI for the Noline coloring.
  • WaterColored using Daniel smith watercolors and topped it with Prisma colored pencils for keeping the shadows.
  • The image is fussy cut and splashed with loads of watercolored white acrylic paint and Perfect pearls for the shimmery effect. 
  • The splatters toned down hugely the reddish undertones of the flowers to the paler tones. This effect totally gave the flowers a muted toned look.
  • Took a watercolor cardstock for matting and its smooshed with left over pink and green tones randomly. 
  • Then splattered with perfect pearls mixed with pink, watered down white paints for the hazy bg effect.
  • Matted this panel to the Slimline card and added few clear dew droplets to finish off the card.
Hope you like it!
Thanks for stopping by!!
