CARD MAKING DETAILS

I started by applying Papericious Gesso on a pattern paper (Countryside by Craftangles) and placed the stencil (Damask Delight) and applied Silver Glimmer Paste through it. Once it's dry, I applied Ripe Plums water color over the stenciled part with the help of a paint brush. I also added splatters of black and gold inks.

On the other hand, I die-cut the butterfly by Sizzix, I used watercolor paper for diecutting and the diecutting part was done with the help of Sizzix Sidekick machine. I watercolored the butterfly with the same Ripe Plums ink and applied Gold Glitter to it.

I stamped 'thanks' on a scrap paper with Versafine Ink and heat embossed with Gold embossing powder. Now it's time to assemble everything! The pattern paper with Gesso and Stenciled part was adhered on 4 1/2 x 5 inch card. I foam mounted the butterfly on the card front, beneath that a gold thread was adhered. Then foam mounted the sentiment as well. 

And that's all for today. I hope you like it. Thank you so much for stopping by. #stayhomestaycreative

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

'STAY HOME STAY SAFE' SIMPLE MIXED MEDIA CARD WITH PICTORIAL

Hello my dear crafty and non crafty friends! How are you guys doing? I hope you are safe and sound at your homes. #StayHomeStaySafe

Today I wanted to share a 'simple mixed media card' which I've been longing to. I don't know why my heart is drawing towards warm and pastel shades and a grungy look. I also like using bright colors on my cards but I prefer being more pastel. If you like Mixed Media and if you are a beginner, this post would be helpful for you.

MY CARD DETAILS

I started by drawing a house on the card front and cut it using Sizzix Multi Tool.

Then I adhered this pattern paper, from PaperMania, to the card front.

I flip it over and did as shown above :P

This is how the card looks from front.

Then I applied a wash of white gesso by Papericious.

I stamped the images from Mudra's Critter Party in Versafine Sepia Ink and water colored with Faber-Castell Pens.

Fussy cutting done!

Onto this panel, I applied a water wash of gold pigment paint.

I also colored the cheese cloth with the same pigment paint.

I let the panel and cheese cloth dry for sometime. Meanwhile I adhered this bright yellow card stock by Sizzix to the main card base.

I adhered the cheese cloth over it.

And placed this panel over it.

Finally I adhered the animals as shown above and also added few splatters of black paint. For the sentiment I used alpha stickers by 'Creative Retreat' phrasing 'Stay Home'.

A FEW MORE SHOTS FOR YOU

I created a scene - these animals love to stay at home during this pandemic, by adhering the animals half inside and half outside. And I wanted that bright yellow color peek through the house. I added little details to the alpha stickers to pop on the busy background. 

I hope you like the card and I hope you feel inspired. Thank you so much for stopping by and I'll see you next time :)

Dreams Come True!

Hello dear friends! Welcome back to my sweet place! Well.. today I'm here with a fun card made for 

Lulupu Challenge #49 : Feminine - Use wings & Colour Palette , Virginia's View Challenge #14- Layers and dimensions and The Mixed Media Card Challenge #11 {Wings} ..

I took a water color paper and smooshed the background with Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers and Mustard Seed distress inks. They give a beautiful blend when the water is added and also give us an unexpected color.. like I haven't used any green or orange ink here but you can see the green and orange colors!

Then I took a piece of vellum and hand drew that mason jar with Embossing Pen and heat set it with Gold Embossing Powder. Then placed the jar on the top corner and the traced the outlines of the jar with a pencil and stamped a bunch of butterflies in Archival Jet Black Ink inside the pencil line, just to give you an illusion that the jar was filled with butterflies!

Then I adhered the jar with Tombow glue and stamped the butterflies in Archival Jet Black Ink in different directions as if they were coming out from the jar! Finally stamped the sentiment from Prima on some vellum with Versamark Ink and heat set it again with the same Gold Embossing Powder. And finally added a few sequins from Avery Elle and Lawn Fawn.To the main card base I created a border with Krylon Leafing Pen and adhered this panel to the main card base.. :)

Hope you like this card. Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving me a comment. Take care and I'll see you soon.. :) 

A Christmas Card!

Hello everyone! Today I'm here with a mixed media card for The Mixed Media Card Challenge #5 Christmas and Virginia's View Challenge #9 All things metallic.. and STAMPlorations Nov Challenge Stamps and layers.

Procedure..

1. I took a piece of card stock and misted with Vintage photo and Frayed Burlap distress inks and let it dry.

2. Once it's dry, I took Cherish adore stampset from Kaisercraft and stamped directly on to the misted paper in Vintage photo distress ink.

3. Then I took an other piece of white cardstock and hand drew leaves and colored them in Peeled paint, frayed burlap distress inks and Memento cottage ivy ink. You can find the video tutorial on leaves here 

4. And also hand drew the ornaments and colored them in Picked Raspeberry distress ink.

5. Once everything was finished i took color pencils and gave some details to the leaves and ornaments.

6. Later I took Versamark ink and rubbed on to the leaves and ornaments here and there and heat set it with gold embossing powder.

7. Finally adhered everything down on to the misted paper with glue and foam tape and golden thread.

8. Then I took this finished panel and distressed the edges with scissors and dabbed some frayed burlap distress ink to the edges.

9. Then I adhered the panel to the main card base and stamped the sentiment in Versafine ink in onyx and also added a few tiny golden pearls and clear stickles to the leaves and ornaments.

10. And that's it my card was done! ;)

I was very much inspired by Virginia's card!
