Handcarved stamps as a background and a motif.

Hey all!

You may know that I have recently discovered the technique of handcarving stamps, and am now obsessed by it!( I dream of designs to carve!!!)

So, for my official Craft adda post today, I have two cards which I have made using two handcarved stamps that I made today.

To make this gorgeous feather stamp, I followed this tutorial by the fabulously talented Geninne who never fails to inspire!

I stamped the feathers on card stock  using Versafine, Memento and Adirondack inks. I then cut out three feathers and affixed them along with some raffia for detail and pop. The sentiment is from Verses rubber stamps.

I am submitting it for the Runway Inspired Challenge #57. the Freshly made Sketches challenge #130, the Paper Players challenge #190, Leannes Theme challenge to use 3 of anything and the Stamptv Mix it up Monday challenge.

For my second card I used a stamp which I carved; a design which is inspired by Gond Art from Central India.

I made two panels so that I could stamp them together to create a background. I love the way the panels come together to form a circle!

Inks used are from Versafine; Sentiment is from Verses rubber stamps and Hero Arts. The beautiful organza ribbon is from the local craft market.

I am submitting this card for the CASology Week 90:WET challenge

Have a good night

Doodling a panel

Hi Everyone!
I am trying my hand at doodling these days...actually have been doing it for years, but always in the corners of notebooks...
Today I decided to make a background panel for a card. So, using this  image from a traditional Kalamkari print as inspiration.
Here is what I came up with....

I doodled with pencil, watercoloured the panel and then went over the pencil lines with a Staedtler black fine liner. I added a vellum panel with a stamped sentiment from Kaisercraft and affixed it with ribbon for interest.

I am entering this card for the  the Runway inspired challenge.

For my second card, I took inspiration from the traditional Madhubani style of painting to create this panel. The sentiments are the same as the ones used above, from Kaisercraft.

I am quite happy with my first couple of efforts at doodling.

What do you think?

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great night!

Blue Felt leaves

Good Morning everyone!! 

Its a beautiful, cool, sun dappled, morning in Mumbai. 

There is no guarantee it will stay this way though!!!

I have a card today which I made for the  Runway Inspired Challenge.

I have combined it with the Simply Less is More 'Theme' Felt of Fabric challenge.

To make this card I used spellbinders dies to cut out the leaves out of a sheet blue felt which had these gorgeous gold speckles on it.

For the flower, I used my spellbinders nestabilities to cut out 4 nesting layers out of this fabulous vellum like felt paper. It is so pretty and so malleable.

To complete the card, I added an embossed background and created the sentiment using a Hero Arts alphabet set.

I am just thrilled with the way this card turned out...I struggled with it for a while.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a great day!

Sewn Butterfly

I pulled out my trusty old sewing machine yesterday, after years!

It took me a while to get to know it again. ;-)

Here's a project I made using sewing for the first time!

This is my submission today for the Runway Inspired Lela Rose challenge.
I am also submiting ot for the Stamptv Mix it Up Monday challenge.

Dies used here are from Spellbinders, Sentiment (heat embossed with Mac&Cheese Yellow from American Crafts) from Hero Arts, and embossing folders are from Cuttlebug.

Fun Isn't it!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Enjoy your day!!

Unrepeatable

It is 2 am and as I often tell people...I have no control over when an idea strikes!!

I went to bed a couple of hours ago, and then got this bright idea for a this card...and I had to get up and make it!

I have combined three challenges for this card...

The runway inspired challenge, the Addicted to CAS cue word Teenager challenge and the clean and Simple FTL 245 challenge.

The image is from  My Favourite things ' You are Unrepeatable' stamp set. 

The other stamp sets that I have used are from Stampabilities, Paper smooches 'Vogue Abode' and Hero Arts Design blocks (in white on the shirt).

The shirt, I have stamped with Brilliance white archival ink on  pink handmade paper and paper pieced it. 

As for the pants I stamped on green handmade paper, fussy cut them, embossed them with a cuttlebug folder  to add texture and paper pieced it onto the the image.

The Ipod is coloured with copic markers.

I coloured  the hair with Faber Castell colour pencils in shades of brown.

I stamped the shadow (in Versafine smokey gray ink) from the Paper Smooches 'vogue abode' stamp set, to ground my image.

Really love the way it has turned out...don't you!

Love to hear what you think!

I am also entering it for the Simon Says Stamp 'Anything Goes' challenge.

Good night!
