Hi friends!

I'm on the Lindy’s blog today to show you step by step how to create Boho/Gypsy beads and Charms using Lindy’s Gang Sprays.

Firstly, I hope everyone is well and safe. Sending love & sunshine your way. Like many other creative souls, my mojo has been low lately, so, to keep my spirits up, I have been watching online tutorials and browsing the internet for crafty inspiration. I found many tutorials on making Boho/Gypsy Beads. I was inspired and decided to experiment & make my own set of beads and charms using Lindy's beautiful sprays. To see the Step-by-Step Pictorial, please click HERE.

Post 460: Vintage Mixed Media Card (Inspiration for SDC304- Stampotique Designers Challenge- Number It)

Hi folks!!

I'd like to share a Vintage Mixed Media Card which I made as inspiration for Stampotique Designer's Challenge (SDC) #304- "Number It". I've used wooden numbers here as well as washi tapes with numbers in the background. Please read the rules and do join the challenge with your beautiful creations, there are prizes to be won! For lots more ideas and inspiration, check out the Stampotique Originals Rubberstamps Facebook Group.

I've used Stampotique Originals Rubber stamps: Big Bee- Item no. 3008 & Quotes #1- Item no. 8995 here. For the background I used washi tapes, Prima Finnabair's heavy white & clear gesso, rust paste, distress inks & oxides and wooden numbers. To color the bee, I used watercolors and then added some scribbles and doodles with a white gel pen. To create texture, I added golden net and black thread behind the bee. In the end, I created some ink splatter, matted the panel in black and foam mounted it on a 5 by 7 inch white card base. 

Here are some photos of the card:

Post 379: Simple Seasons Greetings Card 2

Hi friends!

I'd like to share a Season's Greetings Card I made a few days back. This was part of my Guest Design Post for Hndmd, all the details are here. For this card, CrafTangles Ruby Red Cardstock was used to die cut the main card panel. The sentiment is from the CrafTangles Seasons Greeting Stamp. I used a glittery foam dove as the focal element and the wreath is a die cut, I used the vibrant CrafTangles Sap Green Cardstock to die cut the wreath & then embellished it with silver sequins.

Here are a couple of photos of the card:

Thanks for your time :)

Post 341: CAS Christmas Card

Hi friends !

I'd like to share a Clean and Simple Christmas Card. This was part of my DT work for PABD, all the details can be checked out here. I heat embossed the Poinsettia and sentiment in gold and watercolored the flower with Festive Berries Distress Ink refill. I wanted a deep red color and whenever I use my zig markers, the red somehow looks pinkish so in order to attain a deep, rich red I used the distress ink refill and it worked beautifully. Then added a bit of washi tape at the bottom to balance the design, a few sequins for sparkle and a few dots of red stickles on the chocolate brown die cut. They aren't visible in the photo but they add a bit of shine to the crosses all around the dome die cut. Also, I foam mounted the dome die cut and the flower :) I kept the color scheme quite festive with cream, chocolate brown, red and gold and I must say I love that color combo and will be using it again!

List of Supplies:

PABD stamp- Poinsettia

PABD die- Dome Tower Dies

Ranger's Fine Embossing Powder- Gold

Versamark Watermark Mini Inkpad 

Homemade Emboss Buddy

Gold and red sequins

Festive Berries Distress Ink Refill

Cream and Chocolate Brown Cardstock

Tombow Mono Multi Glue

Red Stickles

Washi tape

3d Foam Tape

Here is a photo of the card:
