You're STINKIN' Cute

Hello friends,

I am back with another Lawn Fawn card and this time my interactive mechanism worked and huge thanks to MFT's youtube channel and Karolyn for the amazing tutorial..

I played with this cute Stinkin'cute stamp set from LF, stamped the image using Memento Rich Cocoa ink and colored with copics. 

I also used grass border die from LF, cut it out of green cardstock.

On a panel of white cardstock I made a pink cloud background using cloud stencil.

For the sentiment, I die-cut the word STINKIN' out of black cardstock and Lil' Inkers alpha dies and rest of the sentiment is white heat embossed on yellow cardstock.

I added few highlights using white gel pen and also added few hearts for some extra LOVE :D

Hope you like my card.

Thanks for stopping by and have an amazing day!!

Hugs,

Chitra

Hello friends!!

I have a card to share today!!!

I used the cute elephants from MFT stamps "Adorable Elephants", I stamped all the images on crafter's companion ultra smooth white cardstock using black tuxedo memento ink and colored with copics and then cut out with scissor.

The alphas dies are from Lil' Inker designs which is die-cut out of red cardstock and the digit 2 is from an old MFT die-namics which is die-cut out of green cardstock.

I added a very subtle cloud background behind the elephants using cloud stencil and "summer sky" memento ink.

The design paper is from Bo Bunny, which I used to cover the card front. Then the whole white panel is adhered using some foam squares.

I added few white details on the images using signo white gel pen.

The sentiment is from the same MFT Birdie Brown stamp set which is stamped using a black ink.

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

Hugs,

You're the CARAMEL APPLE of my eye

Hello there!!! Hope you all are staying safe and healthy..

I have another card for a sketch challenge and this time I decided to play around with the LawnFawnatics sketch ...

I have used Lawn Fawn "Caramel Apple" mini stamp set, stamped it four times on crafter's companion ultra smooth white cardstock and colored everything using copics and cut out all the images using scissor.

This is the card sketch that I followed:

I took a white cardstock and die-cut it out of stitched rectangle die from Lawn Fawn then partially embossed it using Woodgrain Embossing folder from Sunny Studio Stamps.

 The embossed area is ink blended using Maple and Macchiato Surface ink from Brutus Monroe. The upper portion is ink blended using "Tattered Rose" oxide ink then I placed Heidi Swapp "Confetti" stencil and ink blended "Twisted Citron" oxide ink.

The sentiment is heat embossed using WOW white embossing powder on black cardstock the word CARAMEL APPLE is die cut out of Mixed & Stitched alphabet die set from Lil' Inker Designs. 

Hope you like my card and thanks for stopping by!!

Have a great day!!!

Hugs,

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!!

Hello

Hello friends,

I am back with another card share...

I played with this cute Avery Elle 'That Bites' stamp set, all the fishies are colored using Prisma colored pencils and gamsol. I die-cut out a panel using Oval die and then used couple of distress inks to create my under the sea background, once the blending was finished I splattered little water for the cool splatter effect. For the sentiment 'HELLO' I die-cut out the words using Lil' Inker Designs dies, I replaced the alpha 'O' with this cute round fish. Images are all adhered using foam squares and then I adhered the panel itself using some foam squares on an A2 white cardstock. Finally added some sequins and beads for embellishment...

Here is a close up:

Hope you like my card. :)

I have another card for you today and love how this one turned out!!

I played with Neat and Tangled 'Lumberjack Love'. All the images are stamped on Crafters Companion ultra smooth white cardstock and colored using copics and cut it out with scissor.

I adhered all the images using foam squares and also adhered the water color panel using foam squares. For the sentiment I die-cut the word TIMBER out of a shiny red cardstock using Lil' Inker Designs dies and the rest of the sentiment is from the same stamp set which is heat embossed on a black cardstock.

Lil' Inker Designs & CardMaker Blog Hop

Hello friends, we are having a blog hop with the super amazing Lil' Inker Designs. I am super excited to have a chance to play with their products!!!
We were asked to create any occasion card using fall colors showcasing their amazing products.

I made two cards for the hop today, here is my 1st card:

 

I used distress inks and water colored some fall colors (olive green, fired brick, ripe persimmon, scattered straw) and colored few strips of Tim Holtz water color paper.
The images are from Perfect Pair stamp set which is stamped on Crafters Companion ultra smooth white cardstock and colored them using copics.
I glued all the water colored strips directly on a white card base , I also glued some strips of gold foil cardstock from DCWV; the colored images are adhered using foam squares. I die cut the alphabets from a red cardstock using Mixed and Stitched Alphabet Die Set and adhered that also using foam squares.

I added some glitter to all the images, here is a close up:

And here is my 2nd card:

First I took Tim Holtz watercolor cardstock and stamped the coffee cups from Coffee Talk Stamp set using MFT black licorice waterproof ink, I masked the coffee cup in the front to stamp the cups in the back; I used Hero Arts watercolor wheel to color the whole image. Once everything was dry I did some layered die cutting; using Mixed and Stitched Alphabet Die Set first I die cut the words from the water colored panel then die cut the word from four separate scraps of white cardstock. This created four exact cuts which I then adhered together to create a thick, chipboard-like embellishment for dimension
Here is a close up:

I added lots of glitter to the image and added sequins for embellishment.

Hope you liked my card.
