Crafty Friend | Altenew PAF Anemone

~ Sathya ~ 3 Comments

 Hi ya All,

Totally Pro’craft’inating!!

Am supposed to finish off few Guest Designing projects yet my mind was experimental and so jumped in to try this new-to-me Medium : Gouache. I have been doing Watercoloring and Pencil coloring for some 4.5 years now in Cardmaking but this medium always intrigued me and so this baby step!

Over to my project,

  • Stamped Altenew PAF Anemone over Strathmore Toned Gray sketch paper with Altenew cube ink – Silver stone and attempted No line coloring.
  • Used Brustro Gouache 24 set colors for coloring medium today.
  • Splashed white calligraphy ink finally.
  • Added few enamel dots in floral color.
  • Matted this focal panel over an off white A2 sized top fold cardbase using double sided adhesive.
  • Sentiment is stamped from Altenew Crafty Friend stampset and die cut using Altenew Featured Sentiments Die set.
  • Sentiments are foam mounted as shown above.
Hope you like it!
Thanks for stopping by!

~ Sathya ~ Leave a comment

Hi Friends, 

It’s that time of the year! I have taken a massive leap this time to make a card for MFT Card Design Superstar for the Coloring Virtuoso category. It’s my first time participating in this Contest.

Absolutely love pencil colouring and watercoloring. Yet this time focused on my Prisma pencil colouring on Strathmore Toned Gray sketch paper and made a floral card for the contest.

Over to my card,

  • Stamped MFT Rose garden stampset over a Strathmore Toned Gray sketch paper using Versamark ink to attempt a no line pencil colouring.
  • Coloured using Prisma colored pencils.
  • Splashed generously with white acrylic paint after pencil colouring.
  • Stamped Sentiment using black inked from MFT Floral Focus stamp set.
  • Then die cut the panel using MFT A2 Stitched Rec Stax largest die .
  • Foam mounted this panel over a Off white A2 top fold card base.
  • Added a paper pieced butterfly and few clear dew droplets as accents.
Hope you like it!!

Hiya Crafters,

Recently had a chance to color on Strathmore Toned gray sketch paper. Love the way, the pencils play on those subtle textures.

  • Took inspiration from colors of current Altenew challenge. Purplish violets, blues of succulents and the greens are my inspiration.
  • Stamped Altenew’s Best Mom using a light shade of ink.
  • Colored using Prisma colored pencils.
  • Generously splattered with white ink.
  • Added the fussy cut butterflies from Patterned paper.
  • Finally stamped the sentiment using Memento Tuxedo black ink.
  • Trimmed the focal panel and added to A2 sized White card base.
Hope you like it!
