You are Amazing | Peony Floral | Uniko

~ Sathya ~ 5 Comments

 Hi Friends,

Am here today with a floral card again. This time tried to use some muted tones and kept me away from darker tones a lot.

Am a Mixedmedia artist at heart who loves loads of textures and layering. But here I have kept a clean and simple design using a watercolored floral as a focal point. Noline coloring technique is my only way to color as stamped lines makes me blank always. 

Uniko’s Peony florals stampset is my most favorite stampset and I have played several times earlier. Check here, here, here, here.

Over to my card,

  • Stamped Uniko Peony florals onto Arches CP Watercolor paper using Antique Linen DI for Noline watercoloring.
  • Used Prima The classics watercolor pan set for this card.
  • The floral is then fussy cut and kept aside to prepare the loose watercolored bg onto Arches HP using the left over paints.
  • Diecut using MFT stitched Rec Stax die.
  • Stamped the sentiment form Uniko Just because stamp set using Mudra Mai jet black ink pad. 
  • Liberally splashed white acrylic paint splatters over the fussy cut floral and foam mounted onto the watercolored focal panel.
  • Then its foam mounted onto Cairo cream A2 sized top fold cardbase.
  • Finally few dew droplets are added for interest.
Hope you like it!

Art Happiness | Mudra

~ Sathya ~ Leave a comment

 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!
