Guest Designer for Time Out Challenge #164

~ Sathya ~ 20 Comments

Hi Craftypeeps!

Am excited to guest design today at Timeout for their current challenge #164.
I have been inspired by the rainbow colors and the birthday cake for my card today.

  • I have colored the base of focal panel with watercolors in the rainbow fashion.
  • Took a vellum circle die-cut and embossed it using WRMK 3D embossing folder.
  • Heat embossed a cake using Ranger platinum embossing powder.
  • Colored the cake using Prisma colored pencils and fussy cut it.
  • Stamped the sentiment from Mudra on the lower portion of the panel using Mudra Mai Jet ink.
  • Matted this panel over a 4×6″ white cardbase.
  • Few enamel dots are added for interest.
For more inspirations from the Design team, do check out the post HERE.

I would like to thank Sandie and TO Design Team for having me as guest.
Love to see your cards there at gallery.

Scatter Kindness : Floral Card

~ Sathya ~ 6 Comments
Hi Friends,

Amidst of the prevailing chaos, Dedicating my time to color and of course at my little balcony garden too. All the floral cards in my Blog screams Spring loudly and my garden florals inspire me a ton.

  • Used the print out of these digital florals from Graciellie designs.
  • Colored them using Prisma colored pencils.
  • The centre were made using Black micron pen, White gel pen and yellow colored pencils.
  • The floral panel is actually a backing sheet of a product which is die cut using stitched rectangle die.
  • Fussy cut florals are added using foam adhesive and liquid adhesive for dimensional effect.
  • Stamped sentiment from HeroArts on vellum and added the strip to the panel.
  • The focal panel then added to the A2 sized white card base.
  • Few enamel dots to make all coherent.

Over to my Balcony Garden pics…

I love Cooking, Crafting and Photography a lot. Macro photography are my recent addiction.

Hope you enjoy it!

Stay Home, Stay Safe!

Cheers,
Sathya

Pink Posies :)

Very happy to share that, today my card is being featured at Inspired By Stamping blog. Would like to thank Joanna and IBS team for this opportunity. This card and the co-ordinating box is made by IBS products  such as Spring liliac, Vintage floral paperpads, Sweet Valentine and Butterfly wings Stamp sets

Now onto card 🙂

Used this pic for inspiration.

The pps from Spring floral and Vintage floral are taken in light mint and baby pink color and matted. Used Picket fence distress stains randomly on pps to tone down their colors. This card front is matted with 6×6 white base cs.

Tore the pp at top left corner and curled up the edges, such that inner pp later is visible. And inbetween that space, tucked a baby pink tulle. Baby pink roses are made using Joy craft die and leaves are made from CLD rose leaf die and muted the color of it by applying picket fence DS on it.

Fillers flowers, mini rose buds are added to create the spray and teeny tiny bow added. Butterflies are heat embossed on vellum and colored with spun sugar Distress ink. Sentiment is stamped on a white vellum and heart pearls are added. Few white pearls as accents.

Box 🙂

Box and Card:)

This box is so very apt for holding 3dimensional projects such as 6×6 cards. Made a box from 300 gsm kraft cs and used velcro for its closures. On the sides, used CLD tiffany border on white cs. And on top of it, followed the same color scheme as card. Used digital freebies for pps and matted on each other using foam adhesive. Mulberry flowers with candi polka dot centres, a mft florish, grosgrain ribbon and few pearls are added. Sentiment is added on a Venetian label frame and added at centre.

I absoultely enjoyed doing this monochromatic shabby chic project. Hope you like it too!
