Post 410: 2 Floral Mixed Media Cards- Warm Wishes

Hi friends!!

I'd like to share 2 Floral Mixed Media Cards today. This was part of my DT work for Bob n Betty. All the details are here. I was inspired by a few challenges & the Spring Season. I wanted to keep the look of Clean & Simple Mixed Media for these.

Process:

Both these cards are 5 by 7 inches in size. First, I took a couple of papers from Bob N Betty's Feel Like a Butterfly Paper Pack, cut them (4 by 6 inches) & distressed their edges. Then created mats for these panels (0.25 inches apart) and adhered all the layers. One of the layers was foam mounted to give the card some dimension. Then, created two colorful floral clusters/bouquets with flowers, gauze, twine, pollens, lace & dried up stalks/hay. Sprayed a couple of flowers with Lindys sprays to make them pop & then dry brushed Prima Finnabair's Heavy white gesso on the floral elements. Then, adhered these bouquets to the card front. For the sentiment, I wrote “warm wishes” with a black pen on 2 wood slices & mounted them on ornate embellishments to give the sentiments some height. Then, created a little splatter with Lindy’s sprays and white gesso. In the end, added a few drops of Nuvo drops & Perfect Pearls as a finishing touch.

Post 357: Warm Wishes Card

Hi friends !

I'd like to share a winter themed card today. I did stenciling on the cardbase with a snowflake design stencil using blue and grey inks. Then softened the look by lightly ink blending vintage photo distress oxide on the card base. For the die cut panel, I stamped the tea cup in brown & hearts in dark grey, then did ink blending around the edges of the die cut. The panel was then foam mounted on the card base & a natural jute twine was added in the end. 

List of Supplies:

Winnie & Walter Stamp- Warm Wishes to You
Winnie & Walter Essentials- Lana Cutaways
Snowflake stencil
Distress Oxide Inkpads- Vintage Photo, Peacock Feathers & Broken China
Altenew Crisp Dye Mini Inkpads- Silver Stone, Industrial Diamond
Lawn Fawn Dye Ink Cube- Doe
Ranger's round blending tool & foams
Jute twine
3d foam tape

Here are a couple of photos of the card:

Post 219: CAS One Layer Card- Pizza

Hi friends :)

I'd like to share a Clean and Simple One Layer Card today. I made this inspired by a few challenges. I did not have a pizza or food related stamp so I converted a round flower stamp into a pizza and the smaller circles were used for pepperoni on the pizza. I added a hand painted black plate under the pizza to make it pop on the kraft cardstock. I colored in the one of the pieces of pizza, to show that it had been eaten, to depict the sentiment that we must delight in the little things in life, like eating our favorite foods. (Pizza is one of my favorite foods :) ) I did the stamping with distress oxides and then some coloring with zig markers and pencil colors. I've added pepperoni, capsicum, olives and cheese on my pizza and made the crust crispy, just the way I like it. 

List of Supplies:
Stamplorations Stamp- Fond Expressions 2 (Shery Russ Designs)
Craftyscrappers Stamp- Doodly Blooms
Ranger's Distress Oxide Inkpads- Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade and Vintage photo.
Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens
Derwent Pencil Colors
Versafine Onyx Black Mini Inkpad
Kraft Cardstock 250 gsm

Here are a couple of photographs of the card:

Post 210: CAS Card- Latte Love

Hi friends :)

Today, I spent a few hours cardmaking and it was so much fun! I didn't even get enough sleep after watching movies till very late but as soon as I woke up I felt the need to do some water coloring. It is so so much fun! I'm only a novice but I enjoy it tremendously :)

I'd like to share a Clean and Simple Card. This is a side folding 5 by 7 card. This is a summer themed project depicted by the warm yellow and orange colors I used around the coffee mug.

The procedure was simple enough. The panel is a wonky stitched rectangle die cut of watercolor paper. Stamped the images on it. Then did watercoloring and then adhered the clustered heart die cut (added 3 watercolored hearts in the negative space for added interest.) to the panel. Finally, adhered the card panel to the card base. The sentiment reads, "Sending a whole latte love your way mom"

List of Supplies:

Stamplorations Stamp- Latte Love (Shery Russ Designs)
Cutplorations Die- Clustered Hearts
Cutplorations Die- Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Die
Lawn Fawn Stamp- Best Pun Ever (sentiment-mom)
Canson Watercolor Paper
Iris White Cardstock 250 gsm
Tombow Mono Multi Glue
Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers
Aqua Brush
Snippets of red cardstock
Versafine Onyx Black Mini Inkpad

Here are a couple of photographs of the card:
