<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My first card is super simple.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I die cut the cute image from the <a href="https://www.hndmd.com/craftangles-elements-pack-sweet-love-2-3-sheets-of-a4-ctepsl2a4" target="_blank">Craftangles Elements Pack, Sweet Love 2 </a>using a stitched square die and adhered it to a 5"x5" folded card make out of <a href="https://www.hndmd.com/search?search=card%20stock&bfilter=price:99-10349;" target="_blank">Craftangles Black card stock</a>.</div>

<a href="https://www.hndmd.com/craftangles-photopolymer-stamps-sweet-love-ctps79" target="_blank">Craftangles Sweet Love stamp set</a> and fussy cut the image. I then created a stencilled background using the Craftangles sunburst stencil.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stmaped the sentiment and adhered the fussy cut image to the base using 3Dfoam tape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I adhered this card topper to a <a href="https://www.hndmd.com/search&page=2?search=card%20stock&bfilter=price:99-10349;" target="_blank">Craftangles Rich Red card stock.</a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and adhered it to a 6"x4" white card base.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As there was some space, I die cut three hearts to create some interest.</div>

Hello! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's almost time for Christmas!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today, I've made three Christmas cards using Craftangles liquid watercolours, stamps and stencils.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also have start to finish videos for the same!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-X3RsDaTjrhU/XfpjK9avVSI/AAAAAAACX9o/7S-yk2mqUm8MNZt6v6ukcf3NWqgLTx7lACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Christmas-sampler.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="864" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-X3RsDaTjrhU/XfpjK9avVSI/AAAAAAACX9o/7S-yk2mqUm8MNZt6v6ukcf3NWqgLTx7lACLcBGAsYHQ/s400/Christmas-sampler.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the first card, I used the bauble stamps from the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-photopolymer-stamps-christmas-ornaments-ctps43" target="_blank">Craftangles 'Christmas Ornaments' stamp set.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stamped them with Antique Linen distress ink and tried some no line watercolouring.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To create the background, I used the Christmas ornaments stencil and Tim Holtz distress inks. I darkened the edges to create a 'glow' in the centre. I love this technique as it creates a spotlight on the focal image. I've done this for all the cards.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used some gold mirror card stock to cut out the blows and string and finished the card with a simple sentiment from the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-photopolymer-stamps-holly-jolly-christmas-ctps44" target="_blank">Craftangles 'Holly Jolly Christmas' stamp set.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the second card, I stamped the beautiful focal image from the Holly Jolly stamp set and used the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/index.php?route=product/search&search=liquid%20watercolours" target="_blank">Craftangles liquid watercolours</a> to try some no line watercoloring. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once coloured, I fussy cut the image and used 3D foam tape to adhere it to a stencilled background. Stencil used is the brand new <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-6x6-stencil-diagonal-plaid-ctcs137" target="_blank">'Diagonal plaid' stencil from Craftangles. </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the same sentiment on all three cards, as I was feeling lazy to pick out another one!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For the last card, I watercolored and fussy cut the cute Santa from<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-photopolymer-stamps-merry-christmas-ctps42" target="_blank">Craftangles 'Merry Christmas' stamp set.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then made the background using the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-6x6-stencil-bricks-ctcs18" target="_blank">Craftangles 'Bricks' stencil.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here too I darkened the edges to create a 'glow'.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added flecks of white paint to finish the card.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All the cards Ive made today are really simple and quick..as is my style.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have used background papers from the Craftangles <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-scrapbook-paper-pack-merry-christmas-6x6-ctppmc06" target="_blank">'Merry Christmas' 6"x6" paper pack</a> and focal images from <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-elements-pack-christmas-animals-3-sheets-of-a4-ctepcaa4" target="_blank">the Craftangles Christmas Animals</a> and <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-elements-pack-watercolor-christmas-3-sheets-of-a4-ctepwca4" target="_blank">Watercolour Christmas element packs.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I first die cut each of the backgrounds using stitched rectangle dies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then used the smaller rectangle die from the same die set to cut out a piece of </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.hndmd.in/coloured-paper-vellum-plain-a4wpp00-a4wpp00" target="_blank">Craftangles plain vellum</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I layered these pieces one on top of the other and then added the fussy cut printed element with 3D foam tape as the focal point.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also added some gold thread and sequins on some of the cards for interest.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hello!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For my post today, I decided to play with the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-mixed-media-essentials-texture-paste-white-120-ml-ctmmtpw120" target="_blank">Craftangles white texture paste</a>, Craftangles stencils and Craftangles floral element packs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The cards I made are super quick and super simple and good for those times when you don't want to think too much. :-)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6ytx_b0EAzU/Xb--5GeF24I/AAAAAAACXOM/Wmu8rNp-oaor-oGuPG4d3OYL5XjzNSnPQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/texture-paste-black-and-white-with-butterfly.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="941" data-original-width="864" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6ytx_b0EAzU/Xb--5GeF24I/AAAAAAACXOM/Wmu8rNp-oaor-oGuPG4d3OYL5XjzNSnPQCLcBGAsYHQ/s400/texture-paste-black-and-white-with-butterfly.jpg" width="366" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the cards above and below, I started out with two die cut panels of black cardstock from Craftangles and used the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-mixed-media-essentials-texture-paste-white-120-ml-ctmmtpw120" target="_blank">Craftangles white texture paste </a>with the<a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-6x6-stencil-doodle-around-ctcs35" target="_blank"> 'Doodle Around' stencil</a> to create an abstract background.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once dry, I added the large butterfly from the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-elements-pack-vintage-rosette-1-3-sheets-of-a4-ctepvr1a4" target="_blank">Craftangles Vintage rosette 1 element pack</a> on the card above and a sprig of watercoloured flowers in the same colour on the card below.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you can see I also changed the orientation of the card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So its one back ground two ways.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added a simple ' thank you' sentiment and some gem stones to finish the cards.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For cards 3 and 4, I started out with the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-6x6-stencil-diamond-fade-ctcs83" target="_blank">Craftangles 'Diamond fade' stencil</a> and the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-mixed-media-essentials-texture-paste-white-120-ml-ctmmtpw120" target="_blank">Craftangles texture paste</a>, on <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-cardstock-12-by-12-225-gsm-set-of-10-sheets-kraft-ctc-05" target="_blank">Craftangles 'Kraft' </a>and <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-cardstock-12-by-12-250-gsm-set-of-10-sheets-liliac-ctc-27" target="_blank">'Lilac' card stock </a>panels.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once the texture paste was dry, I fussy cut and added the flowers from the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and arranged them on the cards, again, with the simple thank you sentiment.</div>

Hello!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Welcome to the <a href="https://blog.hndmd.in/2019/11/challenge-of-month-november-2019.html" target="_blank">Craftangles 'Anything goes' challenge</a> this month!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After a busy Diwali month, we thought you could have fun with this simple and easy challenge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can find all the challenge details <a href="https://blog.hndmd.in/2019/11/challenge-of-month-november-2019.html" target="_blank">here</a>!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this months challenge Im playing with the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/search&page=3?search=craftangles%20stamps" target="_blank">"Hello Lovely" stamp set</a> from Craftangles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had so much fun colouring the lotuses in the set using the<a href="https://www.hndmd.in/index.php?route=product/search&search=liquid%20watercolours" target="_blank"> Craftangles liquid watercolours.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the first card, I started by creating a background using the newly released Craftangles </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-6x6-stencil-waves-ctcs138" target="_blank">Waves stencil</a> and Tim Holtz distress inks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This stencil is so beautiful and look at what a beautiful background you can create with it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once coloured, I fussy cut the lotuses and adhered them to the background using 3D foam tape. I added some clear resin drops and a simple sentiment to finish the card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vFVhuXBwn-4/Xb5gWl1fhmI/AAAAAAACXNY/m54gSLFD9fg4Bo1MBhnKa1Jh9qFtY1q6QCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/lotus-orange.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1033" data-original-width="864" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vFVhuXBwn-4/Xb5gWl1fhmI/AAAAAAACXNY/m54gSLFD9fg4Bo1MBhnKa1Jh9qFtY1q6QCLcBGAsYHQ/s400/lotus-orange.jpg" width="333" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the second card, I used a watercolour background that I had created some time ago, while I was making my rakhi cards. I made this background using <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/index.php?route=product/search&search=liquid%20watercolours" target="_blank">Craftangles liquid watercolours</a> on Craftangles watercolour paper. I die cut the panel to size and layered it with a piece of brown cardstock. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then fussy cut the watercoloured lotuses and adhered them to the background using 3D foam tape. I stamped the simple sentiment here, directly onto the watercolour panel. I adhered all the panels to a white card base to finish the card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LCKNuOj-_BA/Xb5gWbj46VI/AAAAAAACXNQ/DvFUkC1jL4AASRhJlj35kspvGG4RSOiPACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/lotus-yellow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="864" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LCKNuOj-_BA/Xb5gWbj46VI/AAAAAAACXNQ/DvFUkC1jL4AASRhJlj35kspvGG4RSOiPACLcBGAsYHQ/s400/lotus-yellow.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For my next project, I decided to create the same <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-6x6-stencil-waves-ctcs138" target="_blank">waves stencil</a> background as the first card, but this time on a 4"x8" gift envelope. I like to have these around to give cash gifts, especially during the festive season. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The spots you see are the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/index.php?route=product/search&search=liquid%20watercolours" target="_blank">Craftangles silver watercolour paint</a>...it is so pretty..unfortunately it does not photograph well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I attempted a no line colouring technique for the lotuses, with some success. I also made a matching flat card to go into the envelope, so that I could write my greetings on the card and not spoil the outside of the envelope. This way, the person I gift the envelope to can reuse it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My last project is another gift envelope..same lotuses, different look. Here I created interest with the die cut circle and ink splatters.</div>

Hello!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been playing with the brand new liquid watercolours from Craftangles.. <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=17892" target="_blank">Moss green,</a> <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=17891" target="_blank">Mystical waters</a> and <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=17890" target="_blank">Moody Mauve.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I first created these magical backgrounds using Craftangles watercolour paper and the watercolours.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then tried my hand at painting pine trees..they are not great, but, not bad I think for a first attempt!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then die cut the background using SSS stitched rectangle dies and added a die cut sentiment from Impression Obsession.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Quick and simple holiday cards!</div>

Hello!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have you seen the brand new stamp set from Craftangles?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's called <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=17896" target="_blank">'Festive lights'</a> and had the most adorable string of lights, inside colour stamps and sentiments for Diwali and Christmas!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, today, I've made a few cards to showcase this set.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FRu2aVMBXRg/Xan5p_IZP-I/AAAAAAACXJE/A0VMeIm1ZKcWzkxEhLfgTVBmOLy6WNtFACEwYBhgL/s1600/104-Festive-Lights-500x500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FRu2aVMBXRg/Xan5p_IZP-I/AAAAAAACXJE/A0VMeIm1ZKcWzkxEhLfgTVBmOLy6WNtFACEwYBhgL/s640/104-Festive-Lights-500x500.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fEJash21aV0/Xan5SPASyHI/AAAAAAACXIk/zSugMxWfPvY6eZONhrZg0GDy67WPZPhVACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/fairy-lights-flat-lay.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="865" data-original-width="962" height="574" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fEJash21aV0/Xan5SPASyHI/AAAAAAACXIk/zSugMxWfPvY6eZONhrZg0GDy67WPZPhVACLcBGAsYHQ/s640/fairy-lights-flat-lay.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the first card, I stamped and coloured a whole bunch of the little bulbs. I then fussy cut them and arranged them on a simple black background. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To create the background, I used some distress oxide ink to create a subtle glow on the black card stock. I then splattered some white paint on the same.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then arranged the light bulbs and added a heat embossed sentiment to finish the card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the second card, I stamped the string of lights around the edges of the square piece of card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then watercoloured the bulbs and added some multicoloured splatter. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I painted, fussy cut and adhered the gifts with a piece of 3D foam tape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added a simple sentiment to finish the card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LDaDnz0MvHQ/Xan5TactiyI/AAAAAAACXIo/taapzYvDeEwdr5jUZxUwuOYT3Vu4_mCsACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/string-of-lights-christmas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="864" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LDaDnz0MvHQ/Xan5TactiyI/AAAAAAACXIo/taapzYvDeEwdr5jUZxUwuOYT3Vu4_mCsACLcBGAsYHQ/s640/string-of-lights-christmas.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the third card, I stamped the string of lights twice to create a border at the top of a 6"x4" piece of cardstock. I then watercoloured the bulbs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I dabbed on Tim Holtz 'Mustard Seed' distress ink all over the card, to create a glow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then added some paint splatter and a simple sentiment to finish the card.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fyNRmzPmDsE/Xan5TmoL3DI/AAAAAAACXIs/9IxvtxF8obkVwDlsiRQWsYIFQB44Fls3wCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/string-of-lights-diwali.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1202" data-original-width="864" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fyNRmzPmDsE/Xan5TmoL3DI/AAAAAAACXIs/9IxvtxF8obkVwDlsiRQWsYIFQB44Fls3wCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/string-of-lights-diwali.jpg" width="460" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For cards one and two, I started with a stencilled background using the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-6x6-stencil-swirly-circle-ctcs109" target="_blank">Craftangles 'Swirly Circle'</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
stencil and Tim Holtz distress inks. I then stamped, watercoloured and fussy cut the diyas from the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-photopolymer-stamps-happy-diwali-ctps9" target="_blank">Craftangles 'Happy Diwali' stamp set. </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the first card, I adhered them to two die cut circles (these were left overs from and earlier card, which I had made using the Craftangles 'Rays' stencil and Craftangles white texture paste.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then added some self adhesive gem stones to finish the card.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the second card, I stamped a sentiment from the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-photopolymer-stamps-diwali-sentiments-ctps71" target="_blank">Craftangles 'Diwali Sentiments' stamp set, </a>adhered the two diyas to the stencilled background and added <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/index.php?route=product/search&search=sequins" target="_blank">Craftangles sequins</a> to finish the card.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The cards are pretty simple and very quick and easy to make so I will list the supplies as I go along. If you have any questions as to my method, please leave me a comment.</div>

Hello!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have the first of my 2019 Diwali cards here for you today!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It seems as though, diyas are my theme this year..my hand has been drawn only to the various diyas that I had from my Craftangles stamp sets! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have not added any sentiments.. somehow, I didn't feel like doing so.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the first card, I started out with a die cut square of gold mirror cardstock. I die cut the sunburst (memeory box die) and added the panel to a white card panel with 3D foam tape to give it dimension.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then stamped and watercoloured the diya from <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-photopolymer-stamps-diwali-wishes-ctps34" target="_blank">the Craftangles 'diwali wishes' stamp set</a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and added it to the centre with 3D foam tape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just love how it turned out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lK_yhpyNvMo/XYD48qB_IeI/AAAAAAACW5Q/3hVz450avyUmM3o4h51kV0igGj6rH1hmwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/diwali-19-diya-gold-mirror.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1217" data-original-width="864" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lK_yhpyNvMo/XYD48qB_IeI/AAAAAAACW5Q/3hVz450avyUmM3o4h51kV0igGj6rH1hmwCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/diwali-19-diya-gold-mirror.jpg" width="452" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the second card, I started by inkblending Tim Holtz 'Mustard seed' ink through the<a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-6x6-stencil-mandala-reloaded-ctcs80" target="_blank"> Craftangles 'Mandala reloaded' stencil,</a> onto a piece of white cardstock. I left the centre white to create a glow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then stamped and watercolored and fussy cut the lotuses (on Craftangles watercolour paper) from </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the Craftangles 'Hello Lovely' stamp set along with a diya from <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-photopolymer-stamps-happy-diwali-ctps9" target="_blank">the Craftangles 'Happy Deepavali' stamp set.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then arranged them on the mandala background to finish the card.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WKVxaI_FdEo/XYD48qnvUMI/AAAAAAACW5U/7DHjJ_B8BEE86QW46RX73zY4ubsDiWGNgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/diwali-19-lotuses.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1172" data-original-width="864" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WKVxaI_FdEo/XYD48qnvUMI/AAAAAAACW5U/7DHjJ_B8BEE86QW46RX73zY4ubsDiWGNgCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/diwali-19-lotuses.jpg" width="470" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the third card, I started by ink blending Tim Holtz 'Fired Brick' and 'Carved Pumpkin' onto a square white card stock panel using <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-6x6-stencil-4-leaf-lace-ctcs101" target="_blank">Craftangles 'Leaf lace' stencil</a>. I love how it sits beautifully on a square panel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once coloured, I gold embossed a little diya from the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-photopolymer-stamps-diwali-sentiments-ctps71" target="_blank">Craftangles 'Diwali Sentiments' stamp set </a>and fussy cut it and adhered it in the centre of the mandala with 3D foam tape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Its simple, but I think it packs a punch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What do you think?</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love making and keeping a stock of simple cards which can be used for any occasion.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I made a few quick cards today using Craftangles<a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-6x6-stencil-swirly-lace-ctcs129"> 'Swirly Lace'</a> and <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-6x6-stencil-net-lace-ctcs130">'Net Lace'</a> stencils and Tim Holtz Distress inks. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started by die cutting 4 panels out of one 12"x12"sheet of the newly released <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/index.php?route=product/search&search=smooth%20white%20cardstock">Craftangles smooth white card stock </a>using the Simon Says Stamp stitched squares die. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then used the two stencils mentioned above and Tim Holtz distress inks 'Faded jeans', 'Broken china', 'Chipped Sapphire', 'Dusty Concord', 'Carved Pumpkin' and 'Mustard seed' to create these ink blended panels.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IS_3ZAWykPE/XVWj7AibhkI/AAAAAAACVPs/Uv6pkUHSYUkH-UsYOIGvL_GJLJ1fhRFAwCLcBGAs/s1600/stencil-colours.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="838" data-original-width="864" height="387" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IS_3ZAWykPE/XVWj7AibhkI/AAAAAAACVPs/Uv6pkUHSYUkH-UsYOIGvL_GJLJ1fhRFAwCLcBGAs/s400/stencil-colours.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I die cut the Winnie and Walter bold 'hugs' using matching colours and adhered them to the card with fun foam to give them some dimension. I finished the cards using <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/search?search=sequins" target="_blank">Craftangles sequins</a> 'Bumblebee', 'Oxford Blue', and 'Orange'.</div>

I have some birthday cards to inspire you to play today.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the first two cards, I used a technique demonstrated by Kristina Werner recently.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used <a href="https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B01HHRACQU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">make up brushes (from Amazon)</a> to do the ink blending! Khyati had suggested these brushes, and OMG! they are the best for ink blending!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mgoT1CkSXLA/XUG1Y23uINI/AAAAAAACVMQ/LZBipFV7nZ4cqDVKEvgFBOSqpdGKSVCoACLcBGAs/s1600/50-duo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1051" data-original-width="864" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mgoT1CkSXLA/XUG1Y23uINI/AAAAAAACVMQ/LZBipFV7nZ4cqDVKEvgFBOSqpdGKSVCoACLcBGAs/s400/50-duo.jpg" width="328" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the first card, I started of by blending Distress inks through the<a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-6x6-stencil-flower-cluster-ctcs60" target="_blank"> Craftangles 'flower cluster' stencil </a>onto the background panel of <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/index.php?route=product/search&search=craftangles%20cardstock" target="_blank">Craftangles white cardstock.</a> I then die cut the large numbers in <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/index.php?route=product/search&search=craftangles%20cardstock" target="_blank">Craftangles earl grey card stock and white cardstock</a>, and layered them. I then stamped and die cut the sentiment panels and adhered them with 3D foam tape. I added some clear Craftangles sequins to finish the card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SJvUisyRM_A/XURy_YTFNNI/AAAAAAACVNY/neqDd8dAmkAORkW71VRIQBu1jimi7jzIwCLcBGAs/s1600/final%2B27.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SJvUisyRM_A/XURy_YTFNNI/AAAAAAACVNY/neqDd8dAmkAORkW71VRIQBu1jimi7jzIwCLcBGAs/s400/final%2B27.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the second card, I first used the newly released Craftangles masking paper to cut out the number 50 and adhered it to the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/index.php?route=product/search&search=craftangles%20cardstock" target="_blank">Craftangles white card base.</a> I then blended the background colours onto the Craftangles white cardstock panel. After blending the colours, I used the same stencil as the card above, to blend more colour onto the card base. This gave it tone on tone look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once done, I removed the mask and added a stamped sentiment along with some clear sequins to finish the card.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2mea-sTUzkw/XURy_QCHvOI/AAAAAAACVNU/-zK4PJtRH8w8swI_xHQPO2OY_iIQPjtMwCLcBGAs/s1600/final%2B28.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2mea-sTUzkw/XURy_QCHvOI/AAAAAAACVNU/-zK4PJtRH8w8swI_xHQPO2OY_iIQPjtMwCLcBGAs/s320/final%2B28.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the second set of cards, I used simple stencilling and combined it with floral die cuts and liquid watercolours.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7gNxOohLTQk/XURzAdr9mpI/AAAAAAACVNc/1wlPWl4Uj3ManfXsYzEeLA9CrTrj_X0PwCLcBGAs/s1600/wildflower-duo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="864" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7gNxOohLTQk/XURzAdr9mpI/AAAAAAACVNc/1wlPWl4Uj3ManfXsYzEeLA9CrTrj_X0PwCLcBGAs/s400/wildflower-duo.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For these cards, I started by <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-stencil-herringbone-ctcs61" target="_blank">stencilling (Herrringbone)</a> the background with a light blending of Black soot distress ink. I used <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/index.php?route=product/search&search=liquid%20watercolour" target="_blank">Craftangles liquid watercolours</a> to paint a piece of watercolour carstock and then die cut the flowers. I combined the coloured flowers with white diecuts and then sprinkled them with some more watercolour.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I finished the card with some jute twine and some sequins and resin beads and a simple sentiment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IC9Vi4zR5OI/XUG1ceYNPpI/AAAAAAACVMc/7vOEiGsfLk8oPnzpLc_1kShJATuf5OujACLcBGAs/s1600/final%2B25.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IC9Vi4zR5OI/XUG1ceYNPpI/AAAAAAACVMc/7vOEiGsfLk8oPnzpLc_1kShJATuf5OujACLcBGAs/s400/final%2B25.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wvniG0PQzM4/XUG1b_QjujI/AAAAAAACVMU/ctW-IH63pgcgFZ-uPYN-OmNNP5HY63wVgCLcBGAs/s1600/final%2B26.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1154" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wvniG0PQzM4/XUG1b_QjujI/AAAAAAACVMU/ctW-IH63pgcgFZ-uPYN-OmNNP5HY63wVgCLcBGAs/s400/final%2B26.JPG" width="287" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next card is a simple shaker. I used the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craftangles-6x6-stencil-rays-ctcs27" target="_blank">Craftangles rays stencil</a> for the background and then cut out the number 50. I made this into a simple shaker and added the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.hndmd.in/index.php?route=product/search&search=designer%20denim" target="_blank">Craftangles 'designer denim' sequins mix.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A bold sentiment and a few sequins adhered to the outside, finished this card.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Yq52LMGa8o0/XUG1el1RxoI/AAAAAAACVMk/XjsA7Eo813woopnQ-u4ZEHE3b_85NzxSQCLcBGAs/s1600/final%2B29.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Yq52LMGa8o0/XUG1el1RxoI/AAAAAAACVMk/XjsA7Eo813woopnQ-u4ZEHE3b_85NzxSQCLcBGAs/s400/final%2B29.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the last card, I experimented with the newly released Craftangles alcohol ink paper and <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/index.php?route=product/search&search=liquid%20watercolour" target="_blank">Craftangles liquid watercolours</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They work beautifully, but take some time to dry. Once semidry, I added some gold foil to the paper. It stuck to the parts where more ink had collected.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then die cut this panel and adhered it to a white card base with a floral die cut and a birthday sentiment to finish the card.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nIwnE8AEgs0/XUG1fB6HDrI/AAAAAAACVMs/9Ji-n5plXgoi0NzTV3YB0QJSt5QQWoXtACLcBGAs/s1600/final%2B30.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nIwnE8AEgs0/XUG1fB6HDrI/AAAAAAACVMs/9Ji-n5plXgoi0NzTV3YB0QJSt5QQWoXtACLcBGAs/s400/final%2B30.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started by fussy cutting flowers and leaves from the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Craftangles Elements Pack 'Colorful Flowers 4'. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then created some stencilled backgrounds using Craftangles 'Overlapping circles' and 'Damask Delight' stencils and distress inks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then cut them down to size and layered them onto 3"x3" mini notecards.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then layered the flowers and leaves onto the stencilled backgrounds and added some resin dots to finish the cards.</div>

Hello!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have some fun experiments with Craftangles foils for you today!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the first card, I used <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craft-supplies/stencils/craftangles-6x6-stencil-geometric-bursts-ctcs132">Craftangles 'Geometric bursts' stencil</a> with icraft deco foil transfer gel. Once the gel was dry, I used <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craft-supplies/foils/gold-reactive-foils-transfer-sheets-by-craftangles-ctrf01">Craftangles gold foil</a> and a laminator to foil the card. I used a strip of <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/papers/cardstock-pads-and-sheets/craftangles-paper-vellum-white-a4-150-gsm-set-of-5-sheets-ctvwa4150">Craftangles vellum </a>to add a gold outline sticker sentiment to finish the card.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For second and third card, I used a sheet of black laser printed card and die cut an oval frame and the flower. I foiled the frame with <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/index.php?route=product/search&search=reactive%20foils">Craftangles blue foil.</a> I then die cut the flower and foiled it using <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/index.php?route=product/search&search=reactive%20foils">Craftangles rainbow foil.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then foiled the negative die cut with the remaining blue foil. I then created a shaker card using <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/embellishments/sequins/glimmer-shimmer-craftangles-sequin-and-bead-mixes-ctseq21">Craftangles 'glimmer shimmer' sequin mix.</a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I die cut more flowers in white, layered them to create dimension and layered it with the rainbow flowers. I die cut and foiled the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craft-supplies/dies/craftangles-steel-dies-birthday-intricate-and-outline-set-of-2-dies-ctsd11">birthday sentiment</a>, also from Craftangles, and added it to the card to finish it.</div>

If you look closely you will see the dew drop sequins adhered to the flower.</div>

Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have some pretty cards for you today, which I made using Craftangles floral elements packs. These are so beautiful and make the most gorgeous cards with the minimum of effort!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My first card is a mini notecard. I started with an embossed backfround. I fussy cut a floral element from the Craftangles 'Colourful flowers 6' element pack and adhered it to the base using 3D foam tape. I stamped a sentiment on a die cut panel and added that to the card to finish. I also added some <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/embellishments/sequins/craftangles-sequins-clear-shimmer-ctseq08">Craftangles clear sequins.</a></div>

Hello! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have you seen the fabulous new release from HNDMD yesterday!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm here to showcase some of their fabulous new products.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To begin with, I have used the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/index.php?route=product/search&search=oh%20fudge">new liquid watercolour "Oh Fudge</a>" to create a watercolour background.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then stamped the new<a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craft-supplies/stamps/craftangles-photopolymer-stamps-dad-ctps89"> 'Dad' mini stamp</a>. The dad image is from an <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craft-supplies/stamps/craftangles-photopolymer-stamps-dad-my-superhero-ctps10">older set from Craftangles "Dad my superhero"</a> . I adhered the two panels and die cut them using a stitched rectangle die and adhered it to a <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/papers/cardstock-pads-and-sheets/craftangles-cardstock-12-by-12-250-gsm-set-of-10-sheets-cinnamon-brown-ctc-34">Craftangles brown card base.</a></div>

For the second card, I started with a Craftangles Black card base. I stamped the books stamp in grey and die cut a background panel using stitched rectangle die. I then stamped the sentiment...the new <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craft-supplies/stamps/craftangles-photopolymer-stamps-books-ctps87">Craftangles mini stamp Books</a>. I stamped fussy cut and coloured the pile of books and adhered it to the card using 3D foam tape.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the third card, I used an old heart button stamp to create a background which I then die cut using a stitched rectangle die. I stamped and fussy cut a few heart buttons and coloured them using <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/index.php?route=product/search&search=black%20cardstock">Craftangles liquid watercolours</a>. I threaded them onto black embroidery floss and adhered them to the background panel. I then stamped the new <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craft-supplies/stamps/craftangles-photopolymer-stamps-mom-ctps88">Craftangles mini stamp 'Mom' </a>and die cut the panel to adhere it to the background.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I finished the card by adhering the background to a <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/index.php?route=product/search&search=black%20cardstock">black card base from Craftangles.</a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the first card, I used a combination of <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/art-supplies/art-paints/liquid-watercolor-ink/craftangles-liquid-watercolor-15-ml-rosewood-ctlwrw15">Rosewood</a> and <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/art-supplies/art-paints/liquid-watercolor-ink/craftangles-liquid-watercolor-15-ml-pretty-peony-ctlwpp15">Pretty Peony</a> and <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/art-supplies/art-paints/liquid-watercolor-ink/craftangles-liquid-watercolor-15-ml-pumpkin-orange-ctlwpo15">Pumpkin Orange</a> and <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/art-supplies/art-paints/liquid-watercolor-ink/craftangles-liquid-watercolor-15-ml-pretty-peony-ctlwpp15">Pretty Peony </a>for the beautiful flowers <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craft-supplies/stamps/craftangles-photopolymer-stamps-happily-ever-after-ctps82">(Craftangles 'Happily Ever After' stamp)</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I tried the no line watercolour technique... I stamped the flowers on watercolour paper using Tim Holtz distress ink and then coloured them in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To get a darker green, I combined <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/art-supplies/art-paints/liquid-watercolor-ink/craftangles-liquid-watercolor-15-ml-poison-ivy-ctlwpi15">Poison Ivy</a> and <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/art-supplies/art-paints/liquid-watercolor-ink/craftangles-liquid-watercolor-15-ml-rosewood-ctlwrw15">Rosewood</a></div>

I then heat embossed the sentiment <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craft-supplies/stamps/craftangles-photopolymer-stamps-hello-lovely-ctps86">(Craftangles Hello Lovely)</a> in white and adhered it with 3D tape to the centre of the floral panel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I adhered the panel to a 5"x7" red card base and added a sentiment <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craft-supplies/stamps/craftangles-photopolymer-stamps-everyday-sentiments-ctps31">(Craftangles Everyday sentiments) </a>and some <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/embellishments/sequins/craftangles-sequins-clear-shimmer-ctseq08">Craftangles clear sequins</a> to finish the card.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Welcome to the <a href="https://blog.hndmd.in/2019/04/craftangles-april-2019-challenge.html">April Challenge at Craftangles</a>! The theme this month is Watercolours!</div>

I have used the newly released Craftangles liquid watercolours to make the cards below!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These watercolours are so amazing...they are beautifully vibrant and just don't fade!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the cards below I have used them in three different ways and they look just beautiful!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IDbguYE0PSU/XKTYo699pZI/AAAAAAACUQE/SQHwJY6GY08llFbwNPUAqwnsiXLzfcFQQCLcBGAs/s1600/watercolour-challege-sampler.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="938" data-original-width="864" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IDbguYE0PSU/XKTYo699pZI/AAAAAAACUQE/SQHwJY6GY08llFbwNPUAqwnsiXLzfcFQQCLcBGAs/s400/watercolour-challege-sampler.jpg" width="367" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the first card, I stamped the floral image from the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craft-supplies/stamps/craftangles-photopolymer-stamps-happily-ever-after-ctps82">Craftangles 'Happily Ever After' stamp set</a> on <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/papers/cardstock-pads-and-sheets/craftangles-cardstock-12-by-12-240-gsm-set-of-10-sheets-natural-white-ctc-44">Craftangles white card stock</a>. I then used<a href="https://www.hndmd.in/index.php?route=product/search&search=liquid%20watercolours"> Craftangles liquid watercolours</a> (Autumn blaze and Red paprika) to colour the image. I then smooshed some <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/art-supplies/art-paints/liquid-watercolor-ink/craftangles-liquid-watercolor-15-ml-lemon-tart-ctlwlt15">Craftangles 'Lemon tart' liquid watercolour</a> onto the background.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then die cut the Cross in the middle of the floral image, added 4 layers of coloured die cuts to create dimension and inlaid the die cuts back into the negative space to create an eclipse card. I added a sentiment and some sequins and finished the card.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zfPA_z6DAu4/XKTY6WETYVI/AAAAAAACUQM/bdnt5sTQNvErVXia3urxPgpKK8DKbiBvACLcBGAs/s1600/easter-flowers-eclips-cross-pma1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1018" data-original-width="864" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zfPA_z6DAu4/XKTY6WETYVI/AAAAAAACUQM/bdnt5sTQNvErVXia3urxPgpKK8DKbiBvACLcBGAs/s400/easter-flowers-eclips-cross-pma1.jpg" width="338" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the second card, I used a beautiful die from Stampin'up to die cut this filigree cross out of gold mirror cardstock. I die cut the wreath using a Lawn Fawn die and then smooshed some<a href="https://www.hndmd.in/art-supplies/art-paints/liquid-watercolor-ink/craftangles-liquid-watercolor-15-ml-evergreen-ctlweg15"> Craftangles 'Evergreen' liquid watercolour</a> on the wreath. I love how it is partially coloured but still creates so much pop!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I created a background using a Cuttlebug embossing folder. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the third card, I used the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/art-supplies/art-paints/liquid-watercolor-ink/craftangles-liquid-watercolor-15-ml-poolside-ctlwps15">Craftangles 'Poolside' and 'Evergreen' liquid watercolours </a>to create a watercolour wash panel. I then die cut and dry embossed a white panel and adhered it to the watercolour panel using 3D foam tape. I then added some <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/embellishments/sequins/craftangles-sequins-clear-shimmer-ctseq08">Craftangles clear sequins</a> to finish the card.</div>

Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have some more floral cards for you today!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have used craftangles 'Countryside' patterned paper and background panels from Craftangles element packs. I can't tell you how much I am enjoying these floral element packs...They make such beautiful cards and so quick too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the first card, I die cut a background panel from </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.hndmd.in/papers/elements-pack/craftangles-elements-pack-watercolor-florals-2-3-sheets-of-a4-ctepwf2a4">Craftangles 'Watercolour Florals 2'</a> elements pack, and paired it with patterned paper from the </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I heat embossed a bold sentiment in gold and fussy cut a little butterfly from the element pack and adhered it with 3D foam tape for interest.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added a sentiment from Altenew to finish the card.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the first card, I started with a card base made with <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/papers/cardstock-pads-and-sheets/craftangles-cardstock-12-by-12-250-gsm-set-of-10-sheets-hickory-brown-ctc-40">Craftangles "Hickory Brown" cardstock.</a></div>

For my second card, I started out with the same coloured card base, and adhered a panel of DCWV glitter white card stock to it.

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you seen the gorgeous new release from Craftangles!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just love the 6"x6" patterned paper pack "Wanderlust".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a couple of simple shaker cards to showcase these papers as well as </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the super fun Craftangles sequin mixes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the beautiful illustrations in this paper pack to make the first shaker card. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/embellishments/sequins/candy-blue-craftangles-sequin-and-bead-mixes-ctseq27">Craftangles sequins mix 'Candy blue"</a> to represent the ocean, in the shaker.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also fussy cut some images from the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.hndmd.in/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=16210">'Wanderlust' elements pack</a> and added them to create some interest.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I finished the card with a sentiment from Hero Arts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the second card,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used an image from the Wanderlust elements pack as the background for the shaker card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I filled the shaker with <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/embellishments/sequins/antique-gold-craftangles-sequin-and-bead-mixes-ctseq17">Craftangles 'Antique gold' sequins mix. </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then added the rest of the images, also from the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=16210">'Wanderlust' elements pack</a> and a sentiment from CAS-ual Friday stamps.</div>

Hello! I am playing a challenge after years!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I came across this challenge from <a href="https://colorthrowdown.blogspot.com/2019/02/color-throwdown-countdown-529.html">'Color Throwdown #529'</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which seemed perfect!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I played with the newly released <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/index.php?route=product/search&search=liquid%20watercolours&description=true">Craftangles liquid watercolours</a> to create this background. It is amazing how vibrant they are and how bright they stay even after drying.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I first die cut a panel using the Altenew canvas die. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found it too big for my card base so I further die cut it using </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Simon Says Stamp stitched rectangle die.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then smooshed liquid watercolours with the help of a piece of acetate, onto the background.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While it dried, I die cut the different layers of the Altenew 'Fantasy Floral' die set. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided not to use the bottom layer of the flower to add some interest. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added a touch of colour to the leaves and adhered them all to the background panel </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
using 3D foam tape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once done, I adhered this panel to a black card base. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love doing this as it really makes the card pop!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The card looked so pretty, I didn't want to add anything to it, not even a sentiment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For my first card, I used scraps left over from earlier cards that I made last week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
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.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
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.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the second card, I layered patterned paper from the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/papers/patterned-papers/craftangles-scrapbook-paper-pack-sweet-love-12x12-ctppsl12">Craftangles 'Sweet Love paper paper pack</a>' and the<a href="https://www.hndmd.in/papers/patterned-papers/craftangles-scrapbook-paper-pack-vintage-rosette-6x6-ctppvr06"> 'Vintage rosette paper pack'</a>. I then fussy cut an focal image from the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/papers/elements-pack/craftangles-elements-pack-watercolor-love-1-3-sheets-of-a4-ctepwl1a4">'Watercolour love' element pack</a> and adhered it to the card with 3D foam tape to finish it.</div>

For the third card, I used another sheet from the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/papers/patterned-papers/craftangles-scrapbook-paper-pack-sweet-love-12x12-ctppsl12">Craftangles 'Sweet Love' paper pack</a> as the background for this 5"x5" card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added a sheet of vellum across the the background to diffuse it and added the focal image.. a fussy cut image from the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/papers/elements-pack/craftangles-elements-pack-watercolor-love-1-3-sheets-of-a4-ctepwl1a4">'Watercolour love' elements pack</a>.

For the first card, I used a small die cut panel from the Vintage Rosette paper pack as a background for the 3"x3" mini notecard. I stamped, water coloured and fussy cut the little bunny, added the sentiment from the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/craft-supplies/stamps/craftangles-photopolymer-stamps-hug-me-ctps83">'Hug Me' stamp set</a> and adhered it to the card using 3D foam tape.</div>

Hello!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am having so much fun playing with the newly released <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/papers/elements-pack">Craftangles Valentine printed element packs</a>! I could easily combine a couple of packs along with <a href="http://md.in/papers/patterned-papers/craftangles-scrapbook-paper-pack-sweet-love-6x6-ctppsl06">Craftangles patterned paper</a> to make some gorgeous cards! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the first card, I cut out a panel from the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/papers/elements-pack/craftangles-elements-pack-watercolor-florals-2-3-sheets-of-a4-ctepwf2a4">Craftangles Watercolour florals 2 Elements pack</a> and added the sentiment heart from <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/papers/elements-pack/craftangles-elements-pack-all-for-love-2-3-sheets-of-a4-ctepafl2a4">Craftangles 'All for love 2' elements pack</a> with double sided foam tape to the centre. I inked the edges of a precut cardstock panel with Tim Holtz 'Worn Lipstick' distress ink and matted the floral panel before adhering it to the card base. I finished the card with some Craftangles pink sequins.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LiIb_sUepkM/XEyrxOtOb3I/AAAAAAACT6o/nk3JaAkUROohEI9rwZSm4xrtcz_ZOhCyACLcBGAs/s1600/valentine-elements-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="864" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LiIb_sUepkM/XEyrxOtOb3I/AAAAAAACT6o/nk3JaAkUROohEI9rwZSm4xrtcz_ZOhCyACLcBGAs/s400/valentine-elements-1.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the second card, I used another panel, with the cutest birds, from the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/papers/elements-pack/craftangles-elements-pack-watercolor-florals-2-3-sheets-of-a4-ctepwf2a4">Craftangles 'Watercolour Florals 2' Elements pack</a> and added another heart sentiment from the <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/papers/elements-pack/craftangles-elements-pack-all-for-love-2-3-sheets-of-a4-ctepafl2a4">Craftangles 'All for Love 2' elements pack </a>with 3D foam tape. I inked another cardstock panel, just like above and matted the printed panel. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I finished the card with <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/index.php?route=product/search&search=sequins&description=true">pink sequins from Craftangles</a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the third card, I inked the card base directly with Tim Holtz 'Carved Pumpkin' distress ink. I then adhered the printed card panel and adhered the sentiment with 3D foam tape. I added some <a href="https://www.hndmd.in/embellishments/sequins/craftangles-sequins-clear-shimmer-ctseq08">Craftangles clear sequins</a> to finish the card.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the next three cards, I used patterned papers from the new<a href="https://www.hndmd.in/papers/patterned-papers/craftangles-scrapbook-paper-pack-sweet-love-12x12-ctppsl12"> Craftangles 'Sweet Love' 6"x6" paper pack</a> to act as a base for the super cute elements from the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.hndmd.in/papers/elements-pack/craftangles-elements-pack-watercolor-love-1-3-sheets-of-a4-ctepwl1a4">Craftangles Watercolour love 1 elements pack. </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I left the cards super simple so that I could add sentiments in the future or use them as they are.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
