Picnic - Sun n Fun

Hi Crafty Gals.....

Today I'm sharing a new stamp set  which was newly released with Expressions Stamps. Its total fun with lovely share of party set.

I have made an easy card which goes well with the theme.  I have used Papericious Whimsical 6"x 6" pattern paper set for this card.  I have chosen a pre stamped printed paper and used Spell binder die-cut Circle die and cut the center of the pattern paper and over layered the image which was stamped and colored on a water color paper with Zig Real Color Brushes and backed with foam pads I have adhered it to another plain CS which was in the Whimsical set. This gave a shaker box kind of depth and dimension.......I wanted to keep this plain and hence didn't do a shaker kind of card. Ideas are many but still for me the focal was the stamp set which gives a crisp and clear image.

I didn't do a step by step tutorial for this as this was a kind of self explanatory and a very easy peasy kind of a card.

You can get this lovely stamp set and paper pack from below link from below link

Stenciling with Fashion Divas!

Hi to all!

Hope you all enjoyed this Diwali with all your family members, relatives, visitors! Now time to show some more creative work!

Weaving stencil and  Fashion Divas stamps from expression stamps. I really love the quality of this brand.
I could make many cards from weaving stencil with so many possibilities!
So I decided to make two cards using this beautiful stencil.

For the first card, I combined my stencil with pretty Fashion Divas stamp set. They are so stylish, bold, sassy, confident and carefree teenagers!

 

Firstly, I placed my stencil diagonally and coloured the weaved pattern with my watercolour brush pens shown in the pic.

           I choose Fashion Divas stamp set and stamped two of the images on my watercolour sheet in the jet black. Then quickly applied clear embossing powder on them and heat embossed the images, see the difference and more good result!

                         I love how quick and easy the Staedtler watercolour pencils are to use and they give the beautiful watercolour results. Fussy cut them and don't forget to apply black ink pen at all along the edges of the image for the best result:)

                        Die cut a black banner. Stamped the sentiment from the same set and heat embossed it.
Now popped up my fashion girls and banner with dimension to create more interest.

Isn't it so much fun, love the bold, bright look of stencil pattern with these Fashion Divas- so happy!

Supply list:
Cardstocks: Black and white colour heavy CS, watercolour sheet

                                                                          For the second card

I paired the beautiful stencil with a flower die and some pearls to make an elegant card!

                      Firstly I applied embossing paste at the bottom of my card panel and after removing the stencil quickly splattered some diamond dust on it before drying. So sparkly and glittery, made me smile!

                      Die cut a flower from watercolor paper and used my Zig markers to color them. To add a little sparkle I added some crystal clear dust to the flowers using clear tacky glue. Die cut a phrase sentiment out of a silver sparkly sheet and adhered at the top.

I added the flowers to my card with pop dots. I bent the one flower a little bit so it was moreover to thinking of you phrase and added some pearls! And lastly added a gorgeous clear sparkly white ribbon with a cute flower bow! Now adhered the whole panel on my dotted holes card base using pop dots.

Love the elegant and clean look!

Hello to all!

I am back again with new inspiration!

Diwali is a most famous festival of lights celebrated in India. Each of the Hindu people started planning before a month to celebrate this festival.  Invited their friends and family members and wishes them! So I created an ethnic and festive Diwali Cards!

I have combined the two different stencils to create my first Diwali Celebration card!

My card base is in bright yellow. I took the daisy floral stencil and cover the half of the front card Using carved pumpkin ink. I stencil the design as shown in the pic with Ombre effect.

 Then I took Candied apple ink and stencil the design again overlapping it, love the result!

    Now I die cut one small and one big circle to make my own stencil. I covered the white border layer with my circle die sheet and put the daisy floral stencil and applied the ink (Keep the small circle between the daisy floral stencil to keep the circle white). Now I wanted to highlight a Diya only. So I covered the white border sheet again and applied ink through the Diya stencil. Now distress the edges applied candied apple ink.

                                 Die cut the borders out of bright red and whisper white CS.

               Die cut celebrate word and now applied both the layers at my card base as shown in the pic. Now time to embellish it. Highlighted it with few gems and yellow glitter glue dots.
