Life With You Is Wonderful!

Hello friends,

I have a fun card to share with you all. I played with a new stamp set from Art Impressions Stamp..

Love this cute couple and the dog sticking out his tongue. This set is called Enjoy the Ride from Work and Play collection. 

I stamped the image on Neenah 100lb cardstock (not a huge fan of this cardstock, blending is little difficult) and colored with copics.

I then masked the image and did some ink blending for the sky, and the ground is colored with prisma color pencils.

This wonderful image stands out on its own, so I left it clean and simple. 

I stamped the sentiment sentiment using black ink and my card is done.

Hope you like my card.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

Hugs,

You're Incredible!!

Hello friends,

I colored these cuties during #thedailymarkerchallenge and wanted to turn it into a card soon.

These cute girls are from the set called "Super Duper" from Sunny Studio Stamps, I stamped all the images on Crafters Companion ultra smooth white cardstock and colored everything using copics and cut it out with scissor.

I took a watercolor cardstock panel and used Gansai Tambi watercolors to create the background then with the help of MFT Radiating Rays stencil I created the rays coming from behind the cityscape which is from Clearly Besotted.

I lightly traced were the colored panel would lie on my card base and stamped the sentiment using black ink.

The panel is then adhered directly to the card base and for some dimension I added the girls using foam squares. 

Hope you like my card. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

We Are Meant To bee

The honeycomb pattern is from TCW "Mini Honeycomb" stencil, I used squeezed lemonade to ink it up..

Merry Christmas

Hello friends, I am back again with this cute Pink Christmas card!!!

I played with this super cute stamp set from Simon Says Stamp "An Arctic Christmas", I stamped it on Crafter's Companion ultra smooth white cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink and colored everything using Copics.

Then I masked the colored image and did some ink blending using Distress Oxide inks in Picked Raspberry, Spun Sugar and Shaded Lilac (just on the top). Once dry I removed the mask and splattered some white acrylic paint on top of the panel.

I added lots of glitter to the image for that shiny Christmas-sy feel and I also added some white highlights using white signo gel pen.

The sentiment is heat embossed on some teal blue cardstock using WOW white embossing powder and cut to thin strips and adhered using foam adhesive.

I adhered thin strip of red foil cardstock from DCWV on each side of the card base and then adhered the colored panel directly to the card base.

That's all from me today!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

I AM TOADALLY IN LOVE WITH YOU

Hello friends!! I have a card to share with you all today!!! I decided to play with the Lawn Fawn card sketch challenge once again..

 This is the first design I thought of when I saw the card sketch first so I HAD to make it.
I used this super fun and one of my favorite set from LF called "Todally Awesome". I stamped all the images onto Crafter's Companion ultra smooth white cardstock and colored them up with my copics and cut it out with my scissor.

The white card panel was ink blended using Shaded Lilac and Antique Linen distress oxide inks and I used Mermaid Lagoon and Blueprint Sketch for the pond.

The pond is die-cut out of WRMK oval nesting dies and cut to size.

For the dragon fly trail, I simply masked the top portion before inking and later with a black pen made a heart.

Here is the Lawn Fawn card sketch..

I stamped lots of little flies to the card base before gluing the panel.

The sentiment is stamped on a pink cardstock and heat embossed with WOW white embossing powder and cut into strips, then adhered using foam squares. I added lots of highlights using my white signo gel pen.

I am glad that I have created a card for the first day of "the daily marker challenge" and hopefully I will have some time to color and share with you all for the next 30 days!! 

Hope you liked my card. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

Hugs,

Halloween Filled With Smiles

Hello friends!! I am back with a fun Halloween card for you!!

I played with this cute "Fortune Teller Tabby" stamp set from Lawn Fawn and two other older set from LF "Booyah" and "Happy Harvest".

I stamped all the images onto Crafter's Companion ultra smooth white cardstock and colored using copics then cut it all out with scissor. The cute little ghosts are stamped on vellum and heat embossed with WOW white embossing powder.

Then I took a white panel slightly smaller than the actual card base and did some ink blending on it using oxide inks (Evergreen Bough, Peacock Feather, Cracked Pistachio and Black Soot), I splattered some water on top of it and dried it out using towel. Once dry I splattered some white and silver watercolor from Gansai Tambi watercolors.

For the bottom part of the card front, I took a brown cardstock and embossed it using Sunny Studio Stamps Woodgrain Embossing folder and sponged some Rich Cocoa Memento ink on top of it.

The sentiment is heat embossed on the colored panel using WOW white heat embossing powder and then I adhered all the images to the card. I added lots of white highlights to the images using white signo gel pen.

Hope you liked my card!!

You're the PUMPKIN SPICE to my latte

Hello friends, I have a card for you all today!!

I played with this cute MFT Birdie Brown set called "Sweater Weather - In the Woods" set, super cute and love all the sentiments that's in the set.

First I took a watercolor cardstock and die-cut out with a circle die and snipped off one side to make it straight, I used Gansai Tambi watercolors to color the panel and left it to dry.

I stamped all the images using Memento Rich Cocoa Ink and colored using copics and then cut out with scissor leaving a small white border. 

 For the word PUMPKIN SPICE I uses DCWV cork sheet and alpha dies from Lil' Inkers, rest of the sentiment is heat embossed on black cardstock using WOW white embossing powder. I followed the new MFT sketch challenge 457, not exactly the same but loose layout..

I adhered a blue cardstock from DCWV which is slightly smaller than the white card base, then I adhered the water colored panel on top. Images are then adhered using foam squares and then I adhered the sentiment.

Lastly I added few highlights using white signo gel pen and clear gloss to owl's glass.

Hope you liked my card. Thanks for stopping by!!
