Shaker cards using Wanderlust patterned papers and elements pack

 Hello!

Have you seen the gorgeous new release from Craftangles!

I just love the 6"x6" patterned paper pack "Wanderlust".

I made a couple of simple shaker cards to showcase these papers as well as 

the super fun Craftangles sequin mixes.

I used the beautiful illustrations in this paper pack to make the first shaker card. 

I used the Craftangles sequins mix 'Candy blue" to represent the ocean, in the shaker.

I also fussy cut some images from the 

'Wanderlust' elements pack and added them to create some interest.

I finished the card with a sentiment from Hero Arts.

For the second card,

I used an image from the Wanderlust elements pack as the background for the shaker card.

I filled the shaker with Craftangles 'Antique gold' sequins mix. 

I then added the rest of the images, also from the 'Wanderlust' elements pack and a sentiment from CAS-ual Friday stamps.

I hope you will these fun supplies a try!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Playing the Color Throwdown challenge and ink smooshing with Craftangles liquid watercolour.

Hello! I am playing a challenge after years!

I came across this challenge from 'Color Throwdown #529'

which seemed perfect!

I played with the newly released Craftangles  liquid watercolours to create this background. It is amazing how vibrant they are and how bright they stay even after drying.

I first die cut a panel using the Altenew canvas die. 

I found it too big for my card base so I further die cut it using 

Simon Says Stamp stitched rectangle die.

I then smooshed liquid watercolours with the help of a piece of acetate, onto the background.

While it dried, I die cut the different layers of the Altenew 'Fantasy Floral' die set. 

I decided not to use the bottom layer of the flower to add some interest. 

I added a touch of colour to the leaves and adhered them all to the background panel 

using 3D foam tape.

Once done, I adhered this panel to a black card base. 

I love doing this as it really makes the card pop!

The card looked so pretty, I didn't want to add anything to it, not even a sentiment.

I hope you enjoyed this card. I'd love to hear from you so do leave me a comment.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Valentine cards using only patterned paper and Craftangles element pack Giveaway.

Hello!

I also have a couple of element packs to GIVEAWAY on my Instagram page today!!

So do visit https://www.instagram.com/parusperceptions/ to enter into the giveaway!

I will choose a winner via Random.org and announce the winner on Friday 8th February.

This Giveaway is open to Indian participants only.

For my first card, I used scraps left over from earlier cards that I made last week.

I adhered them together using double sided tape and then die cut them into a panel to fit the front of an 4.25 x 5.5 inch cardbase.

I then die cut the focal image from the  Craftangles 'Watercolour love' element pack and adhered it with double sided foam tape to finish the card.

For the second card, I layered patterned paper from the Craftangles 'Sweet Love paper paper pack' and the 'Vintage rosette paper pack'. I then fussy cut an focal image from the 'Watercolour love' element pack and adhered it to the card with 3D foam tape to finish it.

For the third card, I used another sheet from the Craftangles 'Sweet Love' paper pack as the background for this 5"x5" card.

I added a sheet of vellum across the the background to diffuse it and added the focal image.. a fussy cut image from the 'Watercolour love' elements pack. I added a couple of die cut elephants to add some interest.

                                         

And here are the two elements packs that I have to give away on my Instagram page.

I will choose two winners on Friday 8th February.
