Liquid watercolours and no line colouring!

Hello! 

Have you seen the fabulous new release from HNDMD yesterday!!

I'm here to showcase some of their fabulous new products.

To begin with, I have used the new liquid watercolour "Oh Fudge" to create a watercolour background.

I then stamped the new 'Dad' mini stamp. The dad image is from an older set from Craftangles "Dad my superhero" . I adhered the two panels and die cut them using a stitched rectangle die and adhered it to a Craftangles brown card base.

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 Craftangles mini stamp Books. I stamped fussy cut and coloured the pile of books and adhered it to the card using 3D foam tape.

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 Craftangles liquid watercolours. I threaded them onto black embroidery floss and adhered them to the background panel. I then stamped the new Craftangles mini stamp 'Mom' and die cut the panel to adhere it to the background.

I finished the card by adhering the background to a black card base from Craftangles.

Here are the beautiful liquid watercolours released this month...They are so vibrant and bright.

You can combine colours to make the most gorgeous combinations.

For the first card, I used a combination of Rosewood and Pretty Peony and Pumpkin Orange and Pretty Peony for the beautiful flowers (Craftangles 'Happily Ever After' stamp)

I tried the no line watercolour technique... I stamped the flowers on watercolour paper  using Tim Holtz distress ink and then coloured them in.

To get a darker green, I combined Poison Ivy and Rosewood

I then heat embossed the sentiment (Craftangles Hello Lovely) in white and adhered it with 3D tape to the centre of the floral panel.

I adhered the panel to a 5"x7" red card base and added a sentiment (Craftangles Everyday sentiments) and some Craftangles clear sequins to finish the card.

For the second card, I stamped the flowers from the brand new Hello Lovely stamp set and painted them using "Rosewood" liquid watercolour. I then fussy cut the same and adhered them to the a stencilled card base. The stencil used is the newly released 'Geometric bursts' stencil. I finished the card with some Craftangles clear sequins.

I hope you enjoyed these cards as much as I loved making them.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Playing the Craftangles March 'Flowers' challenge.

Hello!

Welcome to the Craftangles March 'Flowers' Challenge!

I have used Craftangles Element packs and Craftangles Art sprays to create these cards. I hope you are inspired to  play along and try out these products.

For the first card, I started with a card base made with Craftangles "Hickory Brown" cardstock.

I used Craftangles 'Victorian Pink' art spray to create a background which I then die cut to fit the card base. I then fussy cut the floral element from the Craftangles 'Watercolour florals 1 elements pack' and adhered it to the card using 3D foam tape. I also added some Craftangles 'Cupcake pink' sequins to add some shine to the card.

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. I then created a background using Craftangles 'Trendy Teal' art spray and die cut a panel to adhere to the glitter card stock. I then fussy cut the floral element from Craftangles element pack and adhered it with 3D foam tape to finish the card.

For the last card, I again created a background panel using Craftangles 'Bamboo brown' art spray and fussy cut and adhered a floral panel from Craftangles 'Vintage rosette 2' element pack. I added some Craftangles 'Clear sequins' to finish the card and add some shine.

I really enjoyed making these cards with these new products from Craftangles. I hope you will give them a try and play along.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Winnie and Walter Belated 2nd birthday bash challenges 3

Hello!

I am playing the Winnie and Walter Belated 2nd birthday Bash challenge today!

Here I am playing the 

Create your own Background challenge with Gayatri

Floral Challenge with Lydia

Over the edge Challenge with Kelly

and the 

Anything but a card challenge with Kate

To make this cash gift envelope

I created a background using 'The Big Bold and Extras' stamp set from Winnie and Walter. 

I used Hero Arts Ombre inks fro the flowers and Memento inks for the leaves.

I die cut the Winnie and Walter Congrats sentiment in gold and black and layered it over a piece of vellum to make it pop!

I also stamped matching flowers on the insert.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!

And the final few diwali cards

And here are the final few cards that I have made for the season. 

For this batch of cards, I stamped (Hero Arts) and watercoloured a panel, cut it up and used it on various cards. 

The gold stripes background is from Impression Obsession and the sentiments are from the Hero Arts 'Holiday Saying' stamp set.

I have to mention here, that, I was inspired to make this motif/background, by the design on a fisherwoman's saree! It was a flash as I passed by in a cab...but thankfully my brain registered  and filed  away the design and I was able to work it out when I got home! So this set of cards is particularly special!

I am playing the Winnie and Walter WCMD 2015 'Watercolour with Vanessa' challenge,

WCMD 2015 'Create a Masterboard with Shay' challenge and

WCMD 2015 Use gold/Metallic  with Lydia challenge

I am also playing the 'Virginia's view 'All things coloured' Challenge'

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Fun with Vellum!

I love playing with coloured vellum...here are a few cards...

I have used cuttle bug embossing folders to create the backgrounds.

Photo cards in a box...

I made this box set a while ago. I used some of my photos on the cards...I love the result so much, that I won't use it or give it anyone else! Does anyone else feel that way about their creations?

The box set was inspired by a project by Godelieve Tijskens on http://stampingmathilda.blogspot.com/.
