Happy Birthday Card : Stamplorations

~ Sathya ~ 8 Comments

Hiya Crafters,

Made a floral birthday card for today. Used a brand new Brustro Colored pencils,  from Creative Hands. These are proudly Made in India Wax based pencils. 

I started my coloring with Bi colored pencils from Faber castell, then upgraded to 24 pencils of Polychromos. I felt so fortunate when my DH gifted me Polychromos 120 set + Prisma colored pencils 132 set for my 2017 Birthday. And then there is no looking back 🙂 My experiments with it are still continuing.

With regard to this new in town Brustro Colored pencils, it convinced me so much with it’s wide range of colors especially with Greens. The soft core wax based pencils gives rich color tones and work wonderfully for shading and blending. If you are yet to own Poly or Prisma, this 75 pencils set can be a great investment in testing Wax based pencils and can grow your coloring interest with this.

And…Over to my card for today 🙂

  • Stamped Stamplorations Blossoms Sprays#3 from Dee’s Artsy Impressions using Antique Linen onto a white cardstock.
  • Colored using New Brustro Colored pencils from Creative Hands .
  • Sentiment from IBS (a retired stamp )company using Mudra Jet black ink.
  • Trimmed and mounted this focal panel onto a Cairo Cream Top Fold A2 cardbase.
  • Few clear dew droplets are added as accents.
Hope you like it!
Happy Stamping!

Gratitude : CAS card

~ Sathya ~ Leave a comment

Hi Crafty peeps,

This time it’s a non floral card and playing with Brushos is my most favorite one among the techniques.
Absolutely love the way the color bursts and reacts with water and gives an abstract/organic look. 

  • Took a non-watercolor cardstock this time, and played with Brushos – Yellow and bit of Crimson crystals.
  • Both mixed up to give an awesome abstract look on the card.
  • Stamped the sentiment from Stamplorations ‘Art is’ stampset on the card panel.
  • Then onto the vellum, white heat embossed small butterflies from Stamplorations Trendy butterflies-2 stampset.
  • Added the fussy cut vellum butterflies to the card panel.
  • Matted this over the white top fold 4×6″ card base and few clear dew droplets to finish off the card.
Hope you like it!

Hi Crafty peeps,

Am here today to share yet another card using my fave Brusho crystals.
This time, a simple CAS card with a sentiment as focal point. This particular stamp set “Art is” by Stamporations is my favorite.

  • Took a square watercolor cardstock bit smaller than 5×5″.
  • Played with Brusho crystal orange to get this beautiful organic look of watercolored bg.
  • Stamped the sentiment from Stamploraions ‘Art is’ stampset using Mudra Mai jet black ink.
  • Matted this focal panel onto 5×5″ square white top fold card base.
  • Few dew droplets added to finish off the card.
Hope you like it!

CAS card : Canvas

~ Sathya ~ 8 Comments
Hi All,

Am back here with a non-floral card for today. CAS : Clean and Simple cards are not my forte as this heart loves all layered, textured stuffs more. I admire CAS artists a lot and their aesthetic way of playing with stamps, stencils, dies yet making the card look Fabulous with loads of white spaces.

My Mom is an Oil painting artist and my second half of name ‘Kala” refers to ‘Art’ in my Indian regional language. Learnt Music and Dance from my childhood yet ‘Art’ always reminds me of the colorful splatters of inks, paints, brushes.

Over to my card,

  • Took a 4×6″ white cardbase and using Mudra World stencil, dry embossed it.
  • Love the subtle embossed bg of world map.
  • Using Kaisercraft stains stamps, (Brand new in my stash) stamped the splatters using various Altenew inks.
  • In a canvas sheet, stamped the sentiment from Stamplorations ‘Art is’ stampset using Memento Tuxedo black ink.
  • Cut the sheet around the sentiment and frayed the edges for an added interest. 
  • No embellishments added to keep the focus on dry embossed bg and the sentiment.
Hope you like it!

Butterflies’ Birthday Wish

~ Sathya ~ 46 Comments
Hi Friends!

Am here today with a simple birthday card with a bit of Watercolor play with Brusho.

It’s been a long time since I played with it!

  • Took watercolor cardstock and sprayed water with a mister.
  • Added the Lime green Brusho pigment. One of my favorite of all for the pigments it holds : Green, Yellow and a dash of blue.
  • Heat set when the pigments moved and formed a desired look,
  • Using TCW ‘Art is’ stencil, stenciled over the colored area with Prima’s Platinum crackle paste.
  • Being a thin font style, the crackles aren’t that prominent. Nevertheless I love the metallic sheen of the platinum paste.
  • Stamped the sentiment from Inspired By Stamping ‘Wishing you’ using memento black ink onto the focal panel.
  • Using Ranger White EP , heat embossed the butterflies from Stamplorations Trendy Butterflies2  onto Vellum.
  • Fussy cut those butterflies and added to the focal panel.
  • This panel is trimmed and mounted onto a baby blue top fold 4×6″ card base.
  • Few clear dew droplets added as final touch.
Hope you like it!
Happy Crafting!
