Diwali card reveal continues!

Good mornning! 

Continuing with my diwali card reveal...

Here is a card with a fun chandbali (earrring) motif! 

It is a stamp that I got made from my local stamp manufacturer many years ago. 

I stamped the image on white cardstock with versamark ink and then watercoloured around it with Camlin watercolours.  

I then cut up the panel to  use on two cards. I then added little gold dots with my Signo gold pen one one card and with white acrylic paint on one for interest. 

To create a background, I stamped the same image with Memento's London Fog ink. 

I finished the cards with sentiments from the Hero Arts 'Holiday Sayings' stamp set. I used a left over scrap to make a tag as well.

 

 

 

I am submitting this card for a few challenges...

Button Cake

It's really late and I should be in bed...but the best ideas come at this time don't they?!!

I decided to make this card for the 10 Minute Craft  Dash no. 29 (feature buttons) at Pretty Pink Posh.

I am also playing the Less is More 'Dark background with a splash of colour' challenge.

I just love the way it has all come together in 4 minutes and 53 seconds.

I used the buttons here to mimic a cake with a sparkler on top.

The sentiment  from Hero Arts and the sparkler  from Stampendous have been heat embossed.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Good night!

One Layer Coloured Card

Good Morning everyone!
I am playing the Less is More One layered coloured card 119 challenge today.

I have the  DT inspiration card by Jen Nelson to Case my card.

I think this is simple, easy and packs a punch!

What do you think?

Stamps are from Stampendous and Verses Rubber stamps.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Enjoy your day!

Sunshine Scooter

Here's a bright and cheerful card.
I have made it for the Less is More sketch 9 Challenge and the Paper Smooches Anything Goes challenge.
I  also made it for the Dynamic Duos 50 Claypso Coral and Blushing Bride  challenge.
However, after photographing the card, I realised that I used yellow...which I shouldn't have as it is not a neutral colour.
Well, it has turned out pretty well anyway!!

The stamps I have used are...Spiffy Scooters stamp set from Paper Smooches, Starburst from Hero Arts and sentiment from Hero Arts.

Inks are from Memento and the scooter is coloured using Faber Castell sketch pens.

You may notice that I have done some masking for the clouds.

To get the appropriate colour for the sentiment, I stamped it with a combination of Tangelo and Rose Bud ink from Memento.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Enjoy your night!

Tag U'r It!

Hey everyone!
I am playing quite a few challenges today...
Here is my submission for the 'Tag U'r It' challenge 59 from Love to Create, Less is more 'use scallops' challenge, Simon Says Stamp 'Birthday' challenge, and the Paper Players tic-tac-toe challenge from Jaydee.

As you can see, I have used the centre line from the grid...Blue and Pink, A tag and Birthday.

I struggled with this one a bit, but I think it has come through quite nicely.

For the base, I clear embossed the Damask stamp from Inkadinkado.I distressed the base with TimHoltz Tea Dye and Vintage photo distress inks.

The tag, which I cut using Spellbinders Nestabilities, I stamped with Memento Danube Blue, to add texture.

The pink flower is cut using the Spellbinders Shapeabilities die.

the sentiment is from Hero Arts 'Birthday Messages' stamp set.
