I got inspired by the theme as well as the photo prompt. I love this ARTplorations stencil  Shutters and decided to sponge it over the background. Next I stamped STAMPlorations Sugar Rush  and adhered CUTplorations Sweet word die over it.

Helloo Crafty Friends!!! :)

Happy New Year to you all! Wish that this year is full of crafty things, may you get a room full of crafty stuff. LOL! (That is secretly my wish ;))

So, we have first Thursday of the month and here we go with a new and exciting challenge of STAMPlorations CAS challenge! 

This month, we are going with silver or grey- two of my favorites I must say. 

I made this card-

I have used ARTplorations- Bloom Factory for the background and Becca's Big Grin- Strong Women stamp set from STAMPlorations! I loved the sentiment- so inspiring and apt for all the strong women in your life! The sequins are from Bobunny.

My new buy and a new card!

Helloo Dearest Friends!! :)

It is end of June already! The time flies like anything! :)

I have made a delicate card using acetate for you all! This is my first because the ones that I had made earlier using acetate are interactive cards!

I got myself a new stamp set -again a first, Altenew stamp set- Wild Hibiscus! I LOVEEE it! Here is what I made-

For the inner page , I used ghosting technique( I made another! ;) ) using distress inks and STAMPlorations stencil- Leaf Prints. I also masked the borders. The sentiment is from "My Favorite Things-Adorable Elephant ' stamp set.

Later on, I stamped and heat embossed Altenew Wild Hibiscus flowers over vellum using Ranger's White Embossing powder and Versamark. I colored them using distress inks again.  :)

Hope you liked my new fresh color card? I was inspired by the colors over Altenew June Challenge. I must say it was really difficult to photograph an acetate card!

New Technique using distress ink!

Heyya Sweet Crafters!! :)

Its been a while since my last post! I had a short trip to one of the beautiful beaches of Konkan area!

So, I am playing along a few challenges! I came up with this card-

 As you all know, I love playing with distress ink! That day, I saw a video of Jennifer McGuire showcasing distress ink lifting. I thought why not try something like this using a stencil! Looks like I found a new technique altogether (which I was not aware of before whether it existed or not :P )

I started with masking the card base with washi tape to make that sketch. I used Seedless preserves, Salty ocean and Peakcock Feathers to sponge the background. Later, I covered the card with ARTplorations - Tribal Swirls stencil. I used water brush over the exposed area and wiped it using baby wipes. (I know it is a lot of work but the results are amazing! )The ink lifting worked wonders and I was happy with the result. Let me know if you want a video of it, if more people ask for it, I will definitely make one! :)

I added a few sequins to finish up this one layer card. And yes, the sentiment is also multicolored using DI. :)

I am entering this card for-

Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge # 4 - Distress ink, stencil and sequins

 

CASology#186 - Distress

and

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes

Before ending, I want to share with you the click of a romantic sunset of Konkan -Laadghar beach! :)

Happy Stamping!
