Out of this world birthday!!

Hello crafty friends... I have a fun card to share with you all today!!

Super happy with how this card turned out, I wanted the monsters to be in the outer space with a beautiful green n yellow nebula behind them.. the only thing changed in the final result is the green monster flying in the space, I think he lost his grip and you can see that in his expression :D :p

To create this card:

• I took a small panel of Tim Holtz watercolor cardstock and created my nebula, I used Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors. I started adding color from the center putting some greens and yellows and then added few shades of blues around and lastly deep purple for the darkest outer shade. Build your layers from lightest to darkest and if want to remove some color, just water it down a little and dab it out with a tissue. When the panel was all dry, I flicked some white color for the starry background.
• I adhered the water-colored panel to a yellow cardstock and created a 1/16"- inch layer using my Perfect Paper Crafting mini ruler.
• I took "Out of this world" stamp set from Clearly Besotted and stamped the images onto Crafters Companion ultra smooth white cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink and colored them using Copics.
• I cut the images out using my scissor and adhered it using foam squares onto the water-colored panel and then to adhere the whole panel I again used some more foam squares.
• I stamped the sentiment using Memento tuxedo black ink before adhering the panel to an A2 sized white cardstock.
• I added some white dots on the monsters using my white gelly roll pen.

Here is a close up:

I am really happy with this card... Hope you like it too...

You're My Hero MOM!!

Hello friends, I have a card to share with you all today...

I combined both MFT's color challenge: 

and the sketch challenge:

To create this card:

• I took an A2 sized top folding white cardstock and layed it flat on my work surface and with the help of Houndstooth stencil and some embossing paste I created the background.
• While the background was drying I took MFT "You're Super" stamp set and stamped it on Crafters Companion ultra smooth white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo black ink and then colored it using Copics.
• The design papers I used to create tag is from Basic Grey "Fiction" collection.
• I tied a brown twine which I got in my SSS gift and secured the twine using a glue dot.
• I used foam squares to adhere the image.

Here is a close up:

Forever My Always

Hello friends, I have a card to share with you all today...
My brother sent me this beautiful Kuretake Gansai Tambi 36 watercolor set early this year (or rather I should say I asked him to buy this for me :D) and this was the first image I chose to color and finally today I made a card out of it...

To create this card:

• First I stamped the image from stamping Bella called "Forever My Always" onto Tim Holtz watercolor cardstock using MFT Black Licorice hybrid ink.
• Then using Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors I colored the whole scene.
• I adhered the design paper onto an A2 sized top folding white cardstock. The design paper behind the water colored panel was a free gift from Simon Says Stamp, so I don't know from which company it is.
• Then directly adhered the water colored panel on top of the design paper just so that it lays perfectly on center.
• Stamped the sentiment which comes in stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
• Added some hearts for embellishment and I applied some glitter on top.

Here is a close up:
