A FLORAL CARD

Hello everyone! I hope you guys are safe and well. #stayhomestaysafe. Today I have a very feminine floral card for you and the sentiment on this card was 'dope'. Many are living a life just to impress people, I don't want to be that kind, I want to inspire people. There is a quote on Pinterst which I love the most - 'I want to inspire people, I want someone to look at me and say because of you I didn't give up'. How awesome, right?

I'm striving and working my ass off to achieve my dreams and goals. My prayers will never go in vain. I know HE gives me everything at the right time. I just keep saying and remembering this verse from Bible - 'Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time' 1 Peter 5:6. This gives me so much strength and courage and again I say to myself - 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me' Philippians 4:13. 

MY CARD MAKING DETAILS

This card is a 'One Layer Card with Masking Technique.

Soft Love Card | Catherine Pooler Designs

Today I have a very soft love card for you. This card looks pretty good in real. I think the photo didn't do justice! ;) By the way, the products I am using today are from Catherine Pooler Designs.

PROJECT DETAILS

I started by prepping the card stock with Anti Static powder tool and inked up the Modern Damask Background stamp with Versamark ink and poured Silver Embossing Powder by Ranger and heat set it with Heat Tool.

Next I applied Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink. I just love how the ink resists the embossed parts! Next I ran the card panel through the Bigshot Express Machine along with Tags etc. dies by Catherine Pooler Designs.

Next I wrapped a regular white twine with a simple knot along with the hand cut tag. The sentiment on the tag is from Beautiful You stamp set, stamped in Midnight Ink. Finally I adhered a golden negative heart die-cut from Sizzix and finished my card with a few clear sequins. :)

Overlap Stamping Technique | Catherine Pooler Designs

Hello everyone! Today I have a very simple, fun and easy stamping technique called Overlap Stamping. Overlap Stamping Technique is nothing but layering of images. This is such a fun and easy technique, you don't need to mask your images at all. You can simply go with the flow! The good thing about this technique is when the colors overlap each other they automatically create another beautiful color. Such a wonderful and stress free technique :)

For my today's project, I used Yay Stripes and Butterfly Notes stamp sets from Catherine Pooler Designs. This Butterfly Notes is a part of Stamp Of Approval Lovely Notes Collection. If you know me, I like using bright and happy colors on my projects but this time I went with pastel shades.

The inks I used - It's a Girl, Sweet Sixteen, Bellini, Melon Ice, Mint To Be and Midnight Inks. All these gorgeous and lovely inks are from Catherine Pooler Designs.

I started by stamping the butterfly on a smaller panel with the inks mentioned above in a random and overlapped manner. I cleaned my stamp with a cloth in each intervals.

I love how the images overlap and creates another beautiful color. Once the stamping part was done I went ahead and added splatters of black paint with a thin paint brush. I love doing this and I strongly believe that these splatters add so much interest to the card!

Onto the main card panel I stamped the striped line from Yay Stripes stamp set in Midnight Ink. Finally I added the smaller panel over the main card base with foam tape. :)

I've also filmed a video for you where I've shared everything in detail. I hope you like it! Thank you so much for visiting. See you soon :)

Love Birds

Hello everyone! Did you check the newest challenge at A Blog Named Hero - CAS? I had these stamps from Hero Arts and Jane's Doodles - but never had a chance to use them properly! At last I pulled out these stamps and made a card + video for you!

I started by stamping all the images with Catherine Pooler Midnight Ink on a piece of standard white card stock. The birds are celebrating their love by standing on glass full of drink. (don't ask me anything about drinks, I never had it before!) I water colored the images with Camlin Water Color Pens and added shimmer with Wink of Stella Pen.

Then adhered the stamped panel onto the main card base that has Washi Tape. I love how this card turned out. Also entering this card for CASology Week 236: ROMANCE :)

I have filmed a video for you, kindly watch it below or at my YouTube channel to know how I put this card together. Thank you :)
