Be Thankful

I am back this morning to share a "thank you" card using one of my favorite stamps (Hydrangea Justrite) & my favorite flower too!  

Here is a pic of the gorgeous flower from my own garden - 

Here is how the pic inspired me!

I embossed the cardstock with a frame die from Avery Elle & splattered run down gesso in the background. Added the fussy cut bloom over the panel & finished off the card with a die cut sentiment & some clear drops. Colored the image with Chameleon pens.

Thanks dear Teacher

Good Afternoon!

September 5th, is celebrated as Teacher's Day in India & I love making cards for teachers. I have been sharing these over the last few days. If you have missed them please go to the posts here, here & here. 

In today's post I share two cards with the same layout with minor changes. 

I have used DCWV pattern papers & die cuts in both. In the first card the copic colored crayons are from the Lawn Fawn stampe & die set - You color my world.

For the second card I replaced the crayons with a fun test tube die cut, which I'm sure any science teacher will love!

Over the last few years I made post it notes & cards for teachers which are in the links here, here & here.

Inlaid Die cut Rainbow

Good Morning!

Having so much fun playing along at Winnie & Walter belated 2nd birthday bash. 

Was inspired by Vanessa's rainbow challenge & Mayuri's inlaid die-cutting challenge to make this card. 

For the rainbow colors I played with distress inks! The black Whimsy circle just came to life as I replaced the intricate black die cuts with the colored one! Loved this! The sentiment heat embossed THANK YOU is a W&W stamp.

Cuppa Thanks

A very good afternoon crafty folks & thank you all for visiting my blogposts!

Here's a look at the card I have today - 

I am a coffee lover & the Prima Coffee Break pack is by far my favorite paper pack. The Your Next Stamp  - Sprinkles tea & Coffee set is what I used for this thank you card. Stamped the image, colored with Creatcolor pencils, fussy cut it & glued it on the CS with foam dots to add some dimension.

Craft Your Passion#266

Good Morning! So glad you visited again!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

We have a Craft Your Passion#266 live. This week we are sponsored by Di's Digis.

Since it is Anything Goes always, I decided to go CAS this time. I seem to be enjoying making CAS cards! I began with a SSS die cut - Thank you ticket & glued a panel of WRMK - Retro Glam Glamour Glitter to pop up the sentiment. This was then placed on DP (Simple stories - I am) with foam tape & silver thread to jazz it up. I finished this simple stylish card with Ranger white enamel accents.

Here is a close up of the glittery thank you panel.

BEST TEACHER

Hello friends!
Back again after a short absence to share a card I made for my daughters teacher.
To create the BG I made swatches of colors with distress ink on the CS, following which I heat embossed the flowers in clear embossing powder & then covered the entire BG with black soot distress ink. This is the result of the amazing resist technique..........very much alike the crayon resisit technique I used in this card HERE.

Linking this to the ICR 32.
