Forever in Love – Altenew – Floral card

~ Sathya ~ 3 Comments

 Hi Friends,

Am here with a floral card and tried Negative Painting for the first time. Yesterday, Emily Midgett ‘s Altenew blogpost inspired me a lot. She generously shared her knowledge and immensely inspired me to give it a go today, as I was too intimidated to try this technique.

She focused on Negative painting and a contrast paler/muted/ floral spray. But I tried this with current Altenew challenge colors .

Over to my card,

  • Stamped roses from Altenew Forever in Love stampset onto watercolor paper using Antique Linen.
  • Watercolored the whole painting using Bright palette of Jane Davenport Watercolors.
  • Splashed generously white acrylic paint.
  • Stamped the sentiment from Altenew Beautiful day stampset.
  • Trimmed and matted over a A2 sized top fold Black cardbase.
Hope you like it!

Kindness : Floral card

~ Sathya ~ 7 Comments

 Hiya Crafty peeps,

Back here again with a floral card. Current challenges in blogland inspired me to do today’s card.

Made use of a new Sizzix Embossing folder : Botanicals, a birthday gift from my dearest crafty pal, Jasleen.

Tried watercoloring over it, as I absolutely love the way the colors bleed and blend on Watercolor cardstocks. 

Karin markers are my birthday gift from my DH and this card demanded using it. It’s so magical to see the way it works beautifully on Canson Montval watercolor paper. 

It’s my first time watercoloring over Embossing folder. 

Over to my card,

  • Dry embossed the watercolor cardstock using Sizzix Botanicals Embossing Folder.
  • Watercolored it using my new crafty stash addition : Karin markers. Love using it!!
  • Added white paint splatters over the panel.
  • Trimmed to fit A2 sized top fold cardbase.
  • Added the Hero Arts Kindness sentiment vellum strip over the embossed panel.
  • Mounted onto black A2 sized cardbase.
  • Few clear dew droplets added as accents.
Hope you like it!
