It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

Hello friends!!

Have you seen the new MFT release, Love everything!!

Today I am sharing a card card using product from their last months release.

First I stamped all the images that I wanted and then colored with copic markers and cut them out with scissors. 

Then I took Layered Snowflake Frames die from Sunny studio stamps and die cut it out of kraft cardstock, I also added another circle frame behind the snowflake frame. For the background I did some inkblending with oxide inks to create a snowy night sky, I added some water splatters and then some white acrylic paint splatters to add snow.

Another close-up..

The sentiment is heat embossed on kraft cardstock using WOW white embossing powder.

Then I adhered the images, some using foam squares and some directly using a strong liquid glue.

Hope you like my card, don't forget to follow me on IG (chitra01) !!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

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.

We Are Meant To bee

Hello Friends, 

I played with the cute bees from Sunny Studio Stamps "Just Bee-cause" stamp set, bees can't get any cuter than this and I love their rosey cheeks...

These little cuties are stamped on Crafter's Companion ultra smooth white cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink and colored with Copics. Images are then cut with scissor.

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

I added a thin frame of Kraft cardstock which was a scrap from some die-cutting and then adhered all the images using foam squares. Stamped the sentiment using black ink and then added highlights using white signo gel pen...

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

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!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

Happy Birthday!!!

 Hello friends, I am back with a card today!!!

I played with the new Sunny Studio Stamps "Cruising Critters" stamp set and lots of die-cutting... :)

 First I stamped the image on a piece of Crafters Companion ultra smooth white cardstock and colored with copics then cut out the image with scissor and I added some white highlights using white gel pen. 

To create the scene first I used green cardstock and  MFT stamps "Grassy Hill" die to die-cut out the grassy borders, I did some ink blending for shading and made some grass with copics. Then used black cardstock and LF "stitched hillside border" die for the road and used white cardstock and LF "little town border" die for the little houses which is ink blended with oxide inks. 

 That sky background is a design paper from Maggie Holmes "Crate Paper" collection.

The sentiment is stamped onto a speech bubble die-cut from "Comic Strip speech bubble" die set from Sunny Studio Stamps, its a white cardstock which is ink blended with yellow oxide ink. The smoke puff for the car is from "Plane Awesome" stamp set. I added few white highlights using Sakura white gelly roll pen.

Hope you liked my card.

Let Your Dreams SOAR

Hello friends, I am back with a card to share with you all. I made a fun swing card with the new Sunny Studio stamps.

 The stamp is called Plane Awesome from the new Sunny Studio Stamps release, I stamped the image on Crafters Companion ultra smooth white cardstock and colored using Copics then cut it out with scissor. The cloud stencil is made out of Lawn Fawn "Puffy Cloud borders" dies, then I sponged "Speckled Egg" ink from Brutus Monroe, to add some layers to the cloud I die-cut out two cloud borders using the same die and sponged some ink for continuity. 

  

 The mountains and trees are from MFT Stamps "Mountain High" dies, I sponged some green and brown inks over the die-cuts.  I used a strip of acetate to adhere the image to the swing mechanism, you can also buy the dies for it from MFT stamps if you want but this interactive card is very simple. The sentiment is stamped on  green cardstock and adhered to the image.

I added few hearts directly to the card base and colored it using copics. I added some white highlights using Signo white gel pen and added Nuvo clear glaze on Mr. Pilots safety glass.

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

Here is my card for you today...



I got to play with this super cute set called Snow Kissed, love the adorable penguins in the set.
To create my card: First I took a blue cardstock and die-cut an oval from the center; then stamped the snow using all the tiny stamps in the set, I used watermark pigment ink to stamp the snows and embossed it using white embossing powder. I adhered a piece of acetate to the back of the blue cardstock and then die cut same size oval out of foam sheet and adhere that as well to the back of blue panel; I added some clear sequins and silver glitter powder in the window and adhere it to a white A2 card base, before adhering the card base I added a subtle blue background using distress inks and also added some snow using white liquid pearl.
Here is a close up..

The penguin and ice-glacier is stamped on Crafters Companion white cardstock and colored using Copics; fuzzy cut it out and adhered using foam squares. As a last touch I added glossy accents to penguins beak and some glitter to hat, scarf and glacier. The sentiment is stamped on the blue panel using watermark ink and embossed using silver embossing powder before adhering it to the card base.
