CASOLOGY WEEK#396, WIND


Hi everyone! Welcome back to another challenge at CASology where the cue word is 'wind'. Some one is being naughty here today! This cute Dino is farting rainbow colors happily in the jungle. This thought really make me laugh :D I'm sorry for being so dirty :P


That cute Dino is a die from Sizzix called Dinosaurs. And the rest, the trees and the wind (fart) was hand drawn and colored with Faber-Castell color pencils. Please don't forget to join the fun at CASology. We would like to see your beautiful creations in the gallery. :)

ME AND MY PUG


Hello everyone! I like Dogs, we had a pug but he left us three years ago. That's really a sad and heart breaking because he died exactly a few months after the demise of my dad. He used to sleep with my father. Such a huge loss for us and we were in so much grief, we lost both our beloveds in less than no time. I'm so sorry if I bothered you with the saddest part of my life. Anyhow we coped with the things and we are doing good by the Grace of God. :)


The images was hand drawn as you guys know how much I love doodling. I tried no line water-coloring and it's such a therapeutic. I love to fussy cut and water color the images while watching to my favourite programs.

MY CARD MAKING DETAILS


  • I started by water-coloring the background with grey, purple, yellow, blue and nude shades and added splatters of the same colors and I let the panel dry.
  • I fussy cut the leaf images from Craftangles element packs.
  • I hand drew the image and tried no-line watercoloring.
  • Once everything is dry I went ahead and adhered all the images as shown
  • To add more depth and definition to the card, I applied a wash of Gesso from Papericious here and there.

And that's the card for today. I didn't want to add any sentiment because I love the way it looks.

a few more shots for you

SMALL WATER COLORED MIXED MEDIA CARDS | UNDER WATER THEMED | SIZZIX


Hi everyone! How are you? Today I have a slightly different project for you. I love mixed media but I wanted it to be simple. I watched many video tutorials but nothing caught my eye and I thought everything was too much for me until I found this channel on YouTube - Susanne Rose Art. Her simple mixed media art really inspired me to take courage in creating these lovely little cards but I definitely gave my twist to it. Her videos are perfect for beginners like me :D

MY CARD MAKING DETAILS


  • I started by die-cutting the cute Crab and Starfish thinlit dies by Sizzix called Under the Sea out of white cardstock through Sizzix SideKick Machine.
  • I took small sized cards, gave a dark blue water color wash to the background.
  • I also water colored the die-cuts in Yellow, Orange and Red.
  • I let the cards and die-cuts dry completely.
  • Once they are dry , I adhered news print pattern paper as shown above.
  • I also gave a wash of Gesso by Papericious.
  •  Also added splatters of blue, white and nude water colors to mimic under the sea.
  • Finally I adhered the cute things, the sentiment was hand written and finished the card with a twine.

Very simple, right! If possible I shall share a video with you making cards in my own version. I love using news print and text on my projects also.

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.

  • I started by masking a portion on the card front with masking paper and stamped the flower (from Cherrylana Designs) and masked it as well. Learn more about MASKING TECHNIQUE HERE.
  • I ink blended the background with Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot Distress Inks.
  • To create a beautiful night sky, I added splatters of water and white paint. 
  • Then I water colored the image with Faber-Castell Connector Pens. If you're curious about how I did water coloring with those pens CHECK HERE.
  • I also colored the stamens with gold pen.
  • Finally finished the card with a beautiful inspiring sentiment from Cherrylana Designs

And that's the project for today and I hope you like it. I would like to enter this card for the following challenges.
