Best Wishes | Card

Hi everyone!

I'm back to share a card I made for my DT post at Pretty Paper Studio. I have also shared a step by step tutorial below on how I created it. Here'a look at my card :

Here’s a tutorial on how I created it :

Step 1 : I first started by die-cutting a card panel for my base and then using the Prima Tuberoses Stencil and some texture paste. I did some wet embossing on the panel and I added a hint of color to the texture paste by rubbing in some Mango Smoothie ink from Altenew. 

Step 2 : Once the embossing was dry, I started to stamp and die-cut the elements of my cards. I have used Altenew Doddle Blooms stamp and die set to stamp my flowers and foliage. I used the Tim Holtz Distress Speciality Paper to stamp all my images before die cutting them. 

Step 3 : Once the images  were stamped and die cut, I watercolored them using different shades of Altenew inks along with a waterbrush. I have done some simple watercoloring to my images.

Step 4 : Once my flowers and leaves were ready, I stamped and die-cut a frame using stamp and dies from the Lawn Fawn Flirty Frames set.

Step 5 : Once the frame was stamped and die-cut, I did some fussy cutting in the centre of the frame and cut out the centre part of the frame completely leaving only the outline of the frame. This frame was then placed as the focal in the centre of my card.

Step 6 : Once the frame was adhered to my card,  I started assembling my flowers and leaves around the frame using some foam squares. Then die-cut my sentiment using a word die and the Tim Holtz Kraft Core Cardstock – Nostalgic.  

And this is how the final card looks like.

I hope you like my card. I would love to hear your views regarding it :)

Hi, friends!
Sharing another card I made recently for my post at Mudra. This one is quite different from my usual style and it has very bright & bold colours. Here's a look :

To create this card :

I first die-cut a card panel using an A2 sized die from one of my favorites, Gina Marie Designs. I have die-cut this panel using Canson Watercolour paper. I then distressed the entire panel using three different shades of Distress inks in shades of yellow.Added some white splatters using Picket Fence Distress Stain Spray, pink splatters using Picked Raspberry Distress ink and some golden splatters using Inka Gold.  I then added some texture using a stencil by MFT and Texture paste and sprinkled some Ranger Dry Glitter while the paste was wet to add some really amazing shine to it.

I die-cut a frame using black cardstock and clear embossed it thrice to give it a glossy effect using  Ranger Super Fine Clear embossing powder and Versamark ink.
I stamped the butterfly using Versamark embossing ink and embossed it using Ranger Gold Glitter Embossing powder from Ranger and heat set it.

I colored the butterfly using Picked Raspberry Distress ink. I then stamped the "Birthday" sentiment from the Butterflies set and added the "Wishes" part from another stamp from the previous release - Sentiment Essentials. I then colored the sentiment banner using Picked Raspberry Distress ink and foam mounted it. Finally added two black enamel dots on the sides of the sentiment banner to finish off my card.

I'm entering my card in the Simon Says Stamp- Anything Goes, Cards in Envy - Frame, Dream Valley - Embossing, Incy Wincy- All that Glitters (Have used glitter embossing powder on the butterfly & sentiment as well as white glitter on the stenciled background), and Love to Create- Anything Goes/ Mixed Media.

I hope you like this card of mine. Do leave me your comments/suggestions regarding it. I love to hear from you :)

Have a nice day everyone!
