Birthday Words

Hey! I am on a roll today…after a very long time!
I made this card for the One layer Simplicity Challenge-Words.

To make this card, I masked off the card inked a slim strip of the card with Tim Holtz distress inks.
I then added the sentiments from Winnie and Walter and Hero Arts to finish the card.

Quick and fun to make!

One layer simplicity

Happy Sunday everyone!

I have made a card for the One Layer Simlicity Challenge OLS12 today. 

I have used a stamp set from Stampendous which I have had for ever but never used. I finally managed to make a card with it and I am s happy with the result. 

This challenge calls for the use of opposites and I have decided to go with opposite colours…Red and Green and Black and White.

The images are coloured with Camel artists watercolour cakes.

I am also entering this card for the NBUS (never used before stuff) challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by…

Have a great evening!

Trying my hand at Illustration!

Hello all!
Today I decided to do an illustration on my card for the Moxie fab "Foxy Foxes Challenge". This is way way out of my comfort zone...never tried this before!
I was inspired by this illustration by Lauren Minco, that I came across on Instagram.

I wanted to make this a One Layer Card, so I first drew the image in pencil and then using my Versamark pen  I heat embossed the image in Black. 

I then coloured the image with Camel Watercolours. I then added the sentiments from Hero Arts All Occassion messages and Everyday Sayings stamp sets.

The border is from the Hot of the Press Delicate Patterns stamp set.

I am also submitting this card for the Catchy Challenges watercolour challenge.

I like my illustration...what do you think?

The Wonder of Water Colour!

I made thiscard for the Wonder of Watercolour Challenge at Moxie Fab world.

The fern stamp is from Hero Arts as is the sentiment.

I inked the stamp with Memento's Peanut Brittle and Cantaloupe inks and spritzed it with water to create a watercolour effect.

It is a quick and easy one layer CAS card to make. Do try it!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

One Layer Card inspired by a film

Good morning everyone!

Happy Wednesday to you!!

Today I have a one layer card for you which I created using the 'Masking' technique and heat embossing.

To make this card, I first stamped and heat embossed the  greeting, buildings, clouds and hot air balloon from the 'Metropolis' stamp set from Paper Smooches, with black opaque embossing powder from American Crafts. 

I then stamped the images on a scap paper and cut them out. 

After placing them on the corressponding images, I then stamped the background with the  background 'map' stamp from Impression Obsession and heat embossed it with American Crafts blue embossing powder.

I then coloured in the buildings and the hot air balloon with my Faber Castell sketch pens.

Easy Peasy!!!

Looks WOW, doesn't it!! 

Don't tell anyone how easy it is...Try it!!

I am entering this card for the 'Less is more' One layer Week 115 create a one layer card inspired by a film challenge. 

the film I chose is 'Around the World in 80 days'.

I am also entering it for the Dynamic Duos challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!

Enjoy your day!

One layer stamped Card. ICRC27

I submitted these cards for the 'One Layer Stamped Card' ICRC27 challenge at Indian craft room.

The stamps are from Stampendous 'Birthday Assortment' and 'Bold Sprigs' and from Hero Arts 'Just saying hi' and 'Birthday Messages'.

the lights stamp is a very very old stamp from Rubber Stampede called 'string of lights border'.

I used inks from Versafine and Memento and used Steadler gel pens to colour the lights.

Just love the way they turned out don't you?

Thanks for stopping by!

Enjoy!
