Love Is In The AIR

Hello friends,

I am back with a card to share with you all...

I played with MFT "EWE are the Best" and "Up in the AIR" stamp set.

Stamped all the images using Memento Tuxedo black ink on Crafters Companion ultra smooth white cardstock and colored everything using Prisma color pencils except the grass, which is colored using copics

The design paper is from DCWV which is die-cut using stitched hill side dies and then directly adhered to an A2 white card base.

The panel in which the scene is built is die-cut using stitched rectangle dies, I stamped the grass and colored it with copics. The sky is colored using distress ink and then I built the cute scene.

I have followed the current MFT sketch here...

Here is a close up:

Hope you like my card...

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day...

Here's a Birthday Flyby

Hello friends,
I have a cute and simple one layer card to share with you today..

I stamped one of the cute dragon from MFT "Magical Dragon" stamp set directly on an A2 card base and colored with my Prisma color pencils, I also stamped a sentiment from the same set. Then using my marker I doodled a border on both the top and bottom sides and my card is ready...

Happy Birthday

Hello friends,
I have a sweet card to share with you today!!!

I took a panel of Crafters Companion ultra smooth white cardstock and stamped the hot air balloon and colored the image with Prisma color pencils, then with the help of We R Memory Keepers oval nesting dies die-cut out it partially so that it looks like the hot air balloon is flying out of the oval frame. Then I created the cloud background inside the oval frame using Lawn Fawn cloud die and Scattered Straw distress ink.
I added a strip of design paper from DCWV and adhered the panel directly to the card base. The sentiment is stamped on a black cardstock using VersaMark ink and white heat embossed with WOW embossing powder and I also added some sequins.
I followed MFT card sketch #332

Birthday Cards!!!!

Hello crafty friends, how have you been!!!

I have been MIA from my blog for quite a while but if you follow me on Instagram (chitra01) you can see all my work there where I share all my cards and coloring fun… regularly… J

Kkk…. So I wanted to share few cards which I recently made…

Card 1:

I have used this cute little girl from MFT stamps ‘Green Pastures’; I colored her with my Copics and cut her out using my scissor. For the card background I used a stencil from Hero Arts called ‘Scales’ and distress inks. I stamped the sentiment directly on the front of the card base using black memento ink and then the image is adhered using some foam squares.

Card 2:

This card layout is similar o the first card. The image is from MFT stamps ‘Super Boy’; I colored him with my Copics and cut out using my scissor. For the card background I used a stencil from MFT called ‘English Brick’ and ‘Burnt Orange’ ink from Simon Says Stamp. I stamped the sentiment directly on the front of the card base using black memento ink and then the image is adhered using some foam squares.

Card 3:

These cute little monsters are from Clearly Besotted ‘Out of this world’; I colored them up using my Prisma color pencils and cut them out using scissor. Then I stamped the huge planet image directly on front of my card and colored that too with my Prismas, then masked it and splattered some black watercolor for the galaxy look. Once the splatters was dry, I stamped the sentiment on front of the card base using black memento ink and finally adhered all the monsters using foam squares, I also added some finishing touches to all the monsters and the planet using black and white gel pen.

Card 4:

Again played with my MFT stamps this time ‘Llama Love’; all the images are colored using Prismas and cut with scissor, here I have very loosely followed this week’s MFT sketch challenge. The kraft panel is die-cut out using Top Dog dies, and then flesh adhered to the card base. The sentiment is white heat embossed on a black cardstock using WOW white embossing powder and adhered using foam squares and then I adhered all the images as well using foam squares. Finally added few heart die-cuts from Simon Says Stamp ‘Holiday Shapes’ die and added little glitter on top of it.

Hope you liked all my cards, I will be back tomorrow with more card...

Thanks a ton for stopping by and have a great day!!!!

Favorite Stories

Hello there.... I have a card to share, I played with my MFT "Our Story" stamp set!!!

I stamped all the tiny images that is in the set using black memento ink colored everything with Prisma color pencils. Then I stamped the sweet girl onto Neenah smooth white cardstock using black memento ink and also colored the image using Prisma pencils, then cut out the image using scissor. I tied natural jute twine to the card base before adhering the image, then used some foam adhesive to adhere the image. The sentiment is stamped on black cardstock using VersaMark ink and heat embossed using white WOW embossing powder.

Here is a closer look:

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!!!

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.

Here is a close up:

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

Ladies plssss wish me luck...

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.
