Birthday Wishes - Inlaid Die-cutting Card

Hi friends!
I'm back again and today I have a card to share made using the Inlaid Die-cutting technique. This is my first try at this technique and I totally loved the end results. Here's a look at the card I made using it.

Another view :

To make this card, I first die cut the flowers using Winnie & Walter The Big, the Bold and Extras cutaway from a 4.5 inch X 5.5 inch card panel and then I stamped and colored my die cut pieces using the co-ordinating stamp The Big, the Bold and Extras set. Before I placed my die cut pieces back into my original die cut panel I distressed one side of my panel using Squeezed Lemonade Distress ink and stamped my sentiment on the base using the stamp set from Winnie and Walter, The Big, the Bold and Party.

I took a quick photo of my inlaid die cut pieces before I completely assembled it and this is how it looks :) 

Hope you all like my card. Do leave me your comments/suggestions I love to hear from you :)

Hello friends,

I have a card to share today and it's a watercolored card using the Winnie and Walter floral stamps. I had so much fun stamping and coloring these papers using my trusted, Distress inks, yet again! Here's a look at what I've created.

The gorgeous red rose is from Winnie and Walter - In Bloom: Elsa's Flora which has been stamped and watercolored using three shades of Distress inks - Abandoned Coral, Fired Brick & Vintage Photo.

The leaves are colored using Twisted Citron Distress ink and are from Winnie and Walter - In Bloom: Elsa's Flora & Winnie and Walter in Bloom - Anna's Flora.

The background trellis against which I have done my floral arrangement is also a beautiful stamp from Winnie and Walter called Mini Scenery - Do You See What I See? which I have gold embossed using Ranger Super Fine Gold embossing powder and watercolored that panel loosely using Distress inks!

I was pretty happy with the outcome of this card & I hope you all like it too!

Winnie and Walter 2nd Birthday Celebrations - Take 2!

Hello friends,

I am  back again with a card today and I am pretty excited about it too....A few days ago I came across a card on Instagram created by Diane Jaquay and it had a plaid background which was created using Distress inks and flat brushes. I was so inspired by the gorgeous card that Diane had made that I had to give it a try and here's what I have created using this technique

 And a another view :

This is how I created the panel for my card using three different colors of Distress ink along with two different sizes of paint brush to create the plaid pattern.

To create my focal, I first die cut three circles using different sizes of circle die and I lightly colored my circles using Distress inks and foam mounted them in the centre of my card. The flowers and leaves are from the Winnie & Walter :In Bloom : Elsa's Flora and In Bloom : Anna's Flora
I die cut the banner using The big,the bold and Extra cutaways on a piece of Vellum and the sentiment is from the : The Big,the bold and extra stamp set using Versafine  Onyx Black ink.
I have water colored my flowers and leaves using various Distress inks on a piece of watercolored cardstock and fussy cut it before popping it up on my card panel.

I have colored the flowers and leaves using a few of PTI inks and Distress inks ..For the chartreuse green and aqua color, I have used the PTI dye inks the coral is from Hero Arts Peach ink and Abandoned Coral Distress ink.

I have very lighty colored my card base using Cracked Pistachio Distress ink and put some gold splatters using Heidi Swapp Color Shine Gold mist.

Used a gold glitter washi on the side of my card to finish it up.

Hello friends,

I have a card to share today and this one is way overdue. I had created this quite sometime back and shared a sneak peek on my instagram too but just now getting to blog about it.

I have a Valentines' day card to share using a stamp set from Varna's Creations. This is an Indian based stamp company run by a super sweet person Varshitha and she had sent across this set to me. :) Her stamps are high quality photopolymer stamps and give really good crisp impressions. I had lot of fun creating with this set and here's is what I have come up with :

To create the heart, I first stamped and heat embossed the image using Ranger Super Fine Gold Embossing Powder and watercolored the image using Distress inks- Fossilized Amber & Picked Raspberry. Then, I paper pieced the heart anf foam mounted it on my card base. To create my background, I inked a piece of white cardstock using Fossilized Amber, Abandoned Coral and Fired Brick Distress inks. The sentiment is from Winnie and Walter- Precious stamp set. I also did a partial bleaching technique using a Winnie and Walter stencil and water.

I am entering this card for Winnie and Walter's Belated 2nd Birthday bash : Gold + Watercolor challenge with Heather H.

I hope you like my card. Do leave your comments/suggestions. Would love to hear from you!

Have a nice day everyone!

Happy Day!

Hello friends,

I am on a roll these past few days and  I have yet another card to share with you all, but in my defence I am trying to use up all my hoarded stamps and trying to put them to good use. My today's card is especially created for the Ellen Hutson Mix It up challenge and I have gone all bold and dramatic this time around.

Here's a look at what I have created :

A side view :

To create my card, I first die cut a water color panel and then stencilled the background using MFT Petal Circle stencil and distress inks Cracked Pistachio and Fossilized Amber inks, then on a separate cardstock, I stamped and watercolored my flowers and leaves using Ellen Hutson Bold blooms set. I fussy cut the images and created my flower cluster and glued everything down. Then I used my Stampoholic tool to stamp the sentiment and the dots around my flower cluster and as a final touch added some white gem stones to my flower centre and my card was finished. 

I was pretty happy with the end result as its quite a bit different from my usual style :)

I am also entering this card in the following challenges :

Paru's Cardmaking challenge : New

Hope you all like my card. Please do let me know your views regarding it. I love hearing from you :)

Have a nice day everyone!

Hello friends,

I  have a card to share today and I am kind of excited about this because it's completely stamped one layer card, in the sense that I did not use a card panel to adhere on the card base instead this was directly done on the card base itself and Its my first try with a background building stamps and I am so thrilled with the results.

Here's a look at what I have created :

And here's an another view :

These both view were clicked on different days hence the change in photo props :)

To create this card, I first stamped the border using the Wplus 9 Borders and Backgrounds 2 set using Altenew Warm Sunshine ink. Then I stamped the flower from the Altenew Vintage Flowers set using their Red Cosmos inks ..So perfect for the layered look.

The leaves and foliage were stamped from Altenew Beautiful Day set. It's such a gorgeous set with beautiful flowers and foliage images.... Totally in love with it :) The leaves and foliage were also stamped with Altenew Green Fields ink. I colored the small flowers using various Altenew inks. The sentiment is from the Beautiful Day set and stamped using their Jet Black ink. Finished the card with some black ink spatters and PPP sequins.

 The colors in my card are very much inspired from the gorgeous picture inspiration from the Fusion card challenge. They are celebrating their 2nd anniversary this time and they have such an amazing line up of inspiration from various designers ..I just had to play along !!

I am entering this card for the following challenges :

Fusion card challenge - 2nd Anniversary celebration.
