Post 467: 4 Floral CAS Cards (DT post for Bob n Betty)

Hi friends!

Popping in quickly to share 4 Floral Clean & Simple Cards I shared on the Bob n Betty Blog a couple of days back. I used their beautiful new Roseate Paper Collection. All the details can be found HERE. The floral images in this paper collection are beautiful & make perfect focal elements for all kinds of projects. All I needed to do was fussy cut some floral images and sentiments. No stamping or colouring required! In these cards, I’ve created different backgrounds using stencils, ink smooshing with inks to create a more organic look and loose water colouring. To add interest, I created ink splatter, added thread to some of the floral clusters and Nuvo drops for embellishment. The card panels were die cut & foam mounted on white A2 sized (4.25 by 5.5 inches) card bases.

Floral CAS Cards:

1. Floral CAS Card- Happy Birthday

2. Floral CAS Card- You Inspire Me

3. Floral CAS Card- Carpe Diem

4. Floral CAS Card- Miles of Smiles

 

Thanks a lot for your precious time :)

Post 462: Floral Birthday Card (Inspiration for Craft Stamper Magazine's Take It Make It Challenge- August,2018)

Hi friends!!
Hope you are well.

Craft Stamper Magazine's Take It Make It Challenge for August is live. It is an anything goes stamping challenge with beautiful prizes on offer and you could win the chance to Guest Design & be published in the magazine, so please read the rules and do link up your gorgeous creations :) To visit the Craft Stamper blog, please click HERE.

For the inspiration, I made a floral card with a newly acquired stamp in my stash. Kassa's Bloom (Item- 14014) by Stampotique Originals Rubber Stamps. It was stamped three times onto a panel of Canson Watercolor Paper using Versafine Onyx Black Ink. The sentiment is from Mudra Craft Stamps- Purely Sentiments Labelled. I did watercoloring using zig clean color real brush markers and created a few splatters of white and black ink, then darkened the edges of the panel with Black Soot Distress Ink and foam mounted it on a 5 by 7 inch black card base. In the end, added a few dots with a white gel pen. 

Here are some photos of the card:

Post 407: Welcome Spring Swap- Spreading Love & Good Vibes Around the World

Hi friends!

Welcome to my blog :) This is Preeti Datta (aka Dutt Preety). 

Today is the start of the Welcome Spring Hop. It's a wonderful event hosted by Nuneka in which 12 Crafters from all over the world got together and decided to make a handmade gift/project for another crafter within the group. So the chain of "spreading love & good vibes around the world" was formed. Each of us made a project for 1 crafter and each of us received a project from another crafter within the group. We wanted to show our love & appreciation for crafters and to build a happy, positive environment. Today we are having a blog hop to share the projects with everyone. Even we haven't seen all the projects, so I'm very excited to see what all the ladies have made. This blog hop will be on till the 4th of April. 

There are 2 giveaways on my blog plus sponsor giveaways for the whole event, please read all the details as you scroll down this post. We'll announce the winners of the giveaways on the 5th of April, 2018. 

I Sent My Project to Sunila Mahajan 

A beautiful, kind, talented & sweet crafter. It was an honor to make a project for her. When I asked about what I should make for her or any guidelines, likes, dislikes, she told me to make whatever I wanted. Isn't that sweet? I have to say I was so nervous because making a project for another crafter can be so tough. Finally, I went with something simple, using colors I adore. I wanted it to be something useful so I chose a Sketch Book/Journal which she could fill with her beautiful artwork. I decorated the front cover in a Simple Mixed Media Style Floral Layout.

Vintage Floral Sketch Book/Journal (Mixed Media Style)

I am submitting this Journal Cover for Mixed Media Place's March Challenge 
(was inspired by the blues, greens and flowers)

Card sent to Sunilaji to accompany the Sketchbook/Journal

Description of my Project (Synopsis of the Process)

For the Journal cover, I went for a Vintage Floral Mixed Media look . To start with, attached different laces as the first textural layer using Prima's soft matte gel & then added modelling paste through a couple of stencils. Then applied white gesso to prime the surface. Then added the chipboards & title "ART". Further, added colors using Lindy's Sprays &  Magical Powders. For the border, I used gauze which was colored with Lindy's Sprays. Attached the colored gauze in multiple layers, around the journal cover, using soft matte gel and then also added natural twine. Then attached flowers to the journal using gel medium. Added secondary titles using Tim Holtz stickers, "imagine, create, inspire" (distressed with vintage photo distress ink). To add sparkle & shine to the project, added sequins around the border (on the gauze) & liquid pearls to the chipboards and gauze. As a finishing touch, applied Prima's Metallique waxes to the flowers, chipboards and some places on the journal front. 

Received Project From Aditi Mahajan 

(A beautiful Journal & card in my favorite colors of blue & green. Thanks so much for making it for me :)
