Am back here today to share a floral card for the midway point of the current challenge at The Flower Challenge . Did Noline watercoloring, which is my super favorite way of coloring next to pencil coloring.
Over to my card,
Stamped Rock Trumpet outline stamp set from Altenew using InkOn3 Fadeout Ink to attempt Noline watercoloring.
Watercolored using Artistry by Altenew’s Watercolor tubes.
Trimmed the card to 5.5×4.25″ and scored the card as shown.
Stamped the sentiment in Jet Black cube dye ink from Altenew.
I gave a subtle wash of colors to define the floral sprig.
Then splattered the white ink liberally .
Few green enamel dots added as accents.
This is mounted onto a white A2 sized top fold card base.
Hope you like this simple card.

It’s that time to share a floral card for this month’s challenge at The Flower Challenge blog. This month’s theme is Add colouring to your card and as always flowers are the focus. Mother’s Day is around the corner and so made a card for my Mom using Altenew’s Best Mom stamp set.
Over to my card,
Took Altenew : Best Mom stamp set and did No line Copic coloring.
It was stamped with Fade out ink and colored using copic markers.
Then its die cut using Gina Marie scallop die set.
Sentiment from same stamp set was done using Altenew Evergreen crisp dye ink .
Then it was topped over a olive green A2 sized card base to finish off the card.
Hope you like it!

Am excited to join an Instagram Hop with Altenew for their #Altenew10thAnniversary with designers and guests across the globe.
Over to my card,
Have used both old and new products for making this card.
Scallop Frame Embossing Folder
Daisy Bed Embossing Folder
Plum Blossom Layering Die set – Used this die set to cut florals from paper pad and embossed it using embossing tools.
Poured Acrylic 6×6 Paper pad
Happy Sentiments Stamp and Die set with Desert Night dye ink cube
Dry embossed panels as shown using embossing folders and popped the florals at different dimensions using foam adhesives and liquid adhesive.
Instead of using colored cardstocks or white cardstocks with alcohol coloring, my idea is to diecut from pattern paper to bring out the freshness by embossing the petals and sculpting it. The lighter and darker dry embossed panels makes the florals to pop against the background. Hope you like the idea.

South Indians call their Mother as AMMA, and I grew up with my granny and lovingly call her MA. These words are SO much filled with emotions and must say, all my Creative Streaks are from both of them! Today’s card is dedicated to to them.

Other products are:
Artists’ markers (Alcohol markers)
Poured Acrylics 6×6 paper pack
Fine Alphabets Die Set
Sentiment Strips 2 Stamp set
Framed Sentiments Die Set
Mix & Match Frames Die Set
I have die cut the pretty florals using Pond flowers Die set from coloured cardstocks and added depth and shadows using Artists’ Alcohol markers. Included white gel accents on leaves and floral die cuts for added interests. Created a shaker card using patterned paper from Poured Acrylics 6×6 pack for the Pond Die cut and added heart shaker elements with a frosty thick acrylic sheet on top to the pond die cut.
The word AMMA is also from the same patterned paper (used for the pond) using Fine Alphabet Die. All the florals and Word die cuts are assembled on top as shown here. The green focal panel is from same pp pack and its diecut using Mix & Match Frame Die set. It’s added using strong liquid adhesive. Sub sentiment is stamped on to pp and die cut using Framed Sentiments Die set and added just below the word AMMA. The focal panel is then added to the Off white card base to finish off the card.

This time, used a brand new die set from my stash. Of course made use of my Gemini Junior (yet another new in my stash) which was lying for more than 1.5 yrs was put to use to diecut this beautiful intricate die set. Such a clean crisp cut in just one go!! It was too hard to photograph cards made of mirror cardstocks, tried my best not to cast shadows and got few decent clicks.
Over to my card,
Used Brutus Monroe ‘With Love’ Die set for the intricate diecut as well as the scripty word ‘love’ .
Made use of gold mirror cardstocks for the diecuts.
Love scripty word alone is diecut twice and doubled up to get an embossed effect.
These diecuts are added to A2 sized ivory white cardbase as shown.
Few store bought flowers in pink shades, embellishments like little hearts and pearls are added as accents.
Hope you like this sweet simple card.

Happy Valentine’s Day to all my viewers and visitors here.
Whipped a quick card using my favorite Noline watercoloring. I love this stamp set called Forever in Love from Altenew for the beautiful roses and the wonderful sentiments.
Over to my card,
Did Noline watercoloring on the stamp – Forever in Love from Altenew.
Used Karin markers for coloring. These are highly vibrant juicy markers and so little colors goes a long way. I did a wet on wet coloring mostly for the larger petals and dry on wet for smaller petals.
Altenew’s Hot pressed Watercolor paper is the one used here and by far my favorite of all hot pressed watercolor papers I have used.
The focal panel is cut from Altenew’s Mix & Match Frames Die set.
The panel then matted over A2 sized top fold Olive green card base using foam adhesives.
