Hello, Friend

Hello,

I played with my MFT Happy Hedgehogs once again and this time did some water coloring!! I used MFT Sketch 303, I think when I sat down to create this card I had the sketch little different in my mind :D

Here is my card:

Images are all stamped onto water color cardstock and I did this with the help of my Stampoholic, it was super easy and because water color cardstocks are textured I never get perfect impression the first time so using Stampoholic was really really helpful. I used MFT black hybrid ink and then colored everything using Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors. Once the coloring was dry I adhered it directly to a white A2 card base. The sentiment is stamped on a black cardstock using VersaMark pigment ink and embossed using WOW white embossing powder. Also did some highlights with Sakura white gelly roll pen.
Here is close up for you:

That's all from me today.
Hope you like my card. :) Thanks for stopping by!!!

Sending Hedgehugs

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

I played with the super cute "Happy Hedgehogs" stamp set from My Favorite Things...

I started off with a white A2 cardbase and placed it in my Stampoholic Nano and stamped all the images (I did some masking before stamping). The images are all colored using Prisma colored pencils and gamsol.
The sentiment is then stamped onto black cardstock using VersaMark pigment ink and heat embossed it using WOW white embossing powder which is then adhered using goam squares.

I followed the MFT sketch 302 ...

DCAM Blog Hop

Hello friends!!
Welcome to the first blog hop for Die Cuts And More, super exciting for day for all of us as we are introducing DCAM Stencils!!!!! Woot Woot!!!

We have ten 8X8 stencils which is perfect for your larger projects and ofcourse they can be used for smaller projects. Now for the fun part six of them are 2 pack stencils and one comes with a positive and negative part, how cool is that!!! Here is a look at all the new stencils!!



Now onto my project for the hop: 

I played with the Box Maze stencil which is a two pack stencil, first I placed one of them on front of my card base and secured it with tiny piece of tape and applied a thin layer of embossing paste, once it was dry I placed another piece of stencil and again repeated the process. Once everything was dry I applied a nice coat of glitter on top of the embossing paste.
Then I took the newest Diwali Die set and die-cut it out of Neenah white cardstock, then colored it using Copics. I also die-cut "Happy Diwali" and colored it with copics as well. Then adhered it using foam tape and added little glitter to the dia and word die.

Here is a close up of my card:

Happy Birthday, My Friend

Hello everyone!! This will be my last card for this week...

This is my third and last entry for MFT Card Design Superstar Card Contest.
To say I'm nervous is a serious understatement, you should go and check all the incredible cards that are submitted to the contest.. Ladies pls wish me luck, fingers are all crossed ;)

My card is totally inspired by this card by Sandy Allnock, she has a detailed video on her blog and also she has provided a free template though here I have used my own pattern...

I first took a white card base and folded it in the center. Then with the help of a pencil and perfect ruler I lightly lined out a guide how and where I want to stamp my images, I masked the area where I don't want any stamping to show and started stamping all the images with a black ink and let some images go out of line, the images are all from Beary Special Birthday. Then colored everything using copics, just a light layer of colors no blending no nothing as I wanted a comic scene. Once all coloring was done I took a black pen and drew couple of speech bubbles and outlined the boxes and drew some lines inside the boxes, I also used my white gelly roll on few images.

Hope you like all my cards, you can also check my card entry first and second...

You Make My Life MAGICAL

Hello friends!! I am back again with a card!!

My second card entry for MFT Card Design Superstar Card Contest.

Here is my card...

I played with this cute Magical Dragons stamp set, I first took a kraft cardstock and stamped the image using black ink and colored the adorable dragon using my Prisma colored pencils then stamped the sentiment directly below the colored image using the same black ink. I then slightly trimmed the sides of the Kraft cardstock just so the image is in center and the white cardbase shows off and also round cornered the bottom corners.

Here is a close up:

Pretty simple card... Hope you like it!!

You Hog My Heart

Hello everyone!! Just popping in to share a card with you all!

I recently got my hands on some of the MFT stamps from Butterfly Reflections Ink store and couldn't wait to ink it up and the timing was perfect for me to enter my card for MFT Card Design Superstar Card Contest.

Here is my card

I took Tim Holtz watercolor cardstock and used my circle stax die to cut a circle out of it. Before I colored the background, I stamped the sentiment with VersaMark pigment ink and heat embossed using Stampendous 3D embossing powder. Then used my distress inks to color the background. The fence is cut using Farm Fence dies out of BARC wood, the piggies are from Hog Heaven stamp set which is stamped onto Crafters companion ultra smooth white cardstock and colored using Copics, then adhered them using foam squares and the circle itself is adhered using foam squares. Finally punched out few hearts with my cheap paper punch and adhered those as well using foam squares. I also added little glitter to all the hearts.

Here is a close up:

Hope you like my card.

Hello friends!!

I played with this cute Avery Elle tweet tweet clear stamp set..

I stamped the bird hut on white birch wood sheet and cut it out using my scissor and added little shading to it. Then I stamped the birdies onto Crafters Companion ultra smooth white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored using copics then cut it out with my scissor. I took another panel of white cardstock and with the help of Perfect Airbrush and a blue markers I created my sky, I used my Perfect Mini Layers to layer the white panel over black cardstock and cut it out 1/8" inch using xacto knife. I stamped the sentiment using black ink and then adhered the whole panel to an A2 white card base using foam squares, the birdies are also adhered using foam squares and finally added some white highlights using my white gelly roll pen.

Flamin-go together

Hello friends!!
I am sharing a sweet Lawn Fawn card with you today!!!

I was so in love with this Flamingo Together set the moment I saw it and now I am more in love with this set that I have it in my hand...

I took a white cardstock panel and sponged in some distress inks to create my background then I flicked little water to take off the color. Then the panel is layered on a design paper from MME. The flamingo's are stamped onto  Crafters Companion ultra smooth white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored using copics then cut it out with my scissor and adhered it to the panel using foam squares and then the panel itself is adhered to the card base using foam squares. 
On the card base I wanted to create a striped background and didn't had any appropriate stamp so I used a strip of foam sheet and used Memento Luxe ink. Finally added some sequins and white highlights using my white gelly roll pen and also tied up a white embroidery floss.
