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.

Celebrate Your Day

Hello & welcome to my second post today!

Sharing a card I made keeping in mind the W&W belated 2nd birthday bash.

This card is very different from my style. It is not just a single layer card (and yet has multiple layers) so to say but also the colors used are not the ones I usually work with. Would love to know what you think of it.

For the card I embossed the kraft card base with WRMK embossing folder. The frame is a die cut (about 4 layers) & colored with Chameleon pens. The double layered rose in the same color is is fussy cut. The stamped leaves & sentiment are from W&W.

Added some highlights to the flower & leaves with a gel pen.

The part of the card front within the delicate frame has shimmer (Wink of Stella)

Christmas card - Snowflakes

Good Morning!

I am back with another Christmas card, a few more to go :-)

This card is inpired by One of Kristina Werner's Holiday card series 2014.

For this card I colored the stamped image with Chameleon pens & later masked her to create the distress ink background. The snowflakes were cut with the Silhouette Cameo.

Note Cards

Hi!

I recently participated in a Friendship Blog Hop hosted by a blogger pal Riti. The theme was to make a set of 8 Notecards with envelopes. 

Used my favorite stamp (Penny Black - Tiger Lily) & Chameleon Markers to make the set. 

 To begin I die cut rectangles (SSS - stitched rectangles) from white card stock & stamped the images. All the images were colored with Chameleon Markers & to add a bit of shimmer I used the clear Wink of Stella. The coordinating colored mats were embossed using Itsy Bitsy embossing folder - Spots.

For the envelopes I stamped the same image in Versamark ink - 

Loved the entire set! Colorful, isn't it!!!
