I Love you the most!!!

Hello Friends,

Hope you are doing great!!

Here I am back with my first Valentine card of the season...This cute little guy is from Craftin Desert Divas...called "Be Mine Skunk".

To Make this Card..

• I took watercolor card stock and masked the whole card except the heart and distress inked it with these ( picked raspberry, salty ocean, seedless preserves & dusty concord) colors.
• After that splattered it with water using watercolor brush.
• Colored  this digi image  with Gansai Tambi watercolors and fussy cut it. I have used pearl white color to cover the image for sparkling effect ..sadly it is not visible here..:(..
• Then I have heat embossed the sentiment which is from "clearly besotted" on pink card stock.
• Adhered my image and sentiment on the card stock and finished it by adding some sequins here and there.

Here is the close up..:)

Altenew - You inspire me...

Hello Friends,

Here I am back with a quick post. Finally I have opened the seal of my new Altenew stamp which I got last month. Thanks to Darnell for running #NBUS Challenge which always motivates me to use my stash...:)..Made this card using the colors from Altenew's January Inspiration Challenge.

To make this card:

• I took standard size i.e.4.25 by 5.5 inches watercolor cardstock and  heat embossed the background with Ranger's White embossing powder using  Altenew "Adore You" stamp set. 
• Colored it with Gansai Tambi Watercolors till I was satisfied ;)..and then I have used paper smooches stitched die for the background. 
• After that, I have heat embossed the sentiment on the vellum and adhered it on the watercolor card stock.
• Mounted the whole thing on dark brown card stock.
• Finally added some enamel dots to finish it off.

Celebrate...

Hello Friends,

Hope you are doing great!!

Today I am sharing a card which I have coloured as a part of Kathy's 30 days colouring challenge.

To make this card

• I took A2 size watercolour paper and free handily drew the flower and the leaves using Derwent Inktense watercolor pencils.
• Then coloured the flower with yellow and orange coloured pencils and leaves with green and blue.
• Then I have used watercolour brush over it..and here is the result...:) ...I really like this idea of drawing anything with your watercolour  pencils (easy to control as compare to your brush) and then with your water brush you can convert it to an Art...;)..I think there is so many possibilities...
• After that coloured the background with blue and splattered it with same colour.
• Finished my card by mounting it over Black card stock, added the sentiment which from STAMPlorations (Celebrate Word die) and finally some sequins here and there...:)
